Easy now!! the name’s Leighton, Bugg to my friends and fellow music lovers!
i come from a really musical family, my step dad use to run reggae and dub sound systems and sound clashes, Steppa Sound, in moss side and my mum use to run her own roots and culture, reggae and dub show, Monday Munchies on buzz and irie fm from when i was about 3 years old. dub and reggae are in my blood!
my two little brothers are now garage emcees and are starting to produce their own tunes ( with help from their big bro ) and my two little sisters sing at local talent shows and work in local musical project groups
i really got in to music in general when i was 8 and i started an African drumming course in school and did a live concert at the Royal Northern College of Music in manchester with other classmates which later got aired on bbc 2!! i just loved the sound of drums but over time i grew to just love sound.
i started buying records from charity shops of all music genres, plus my parents were always entering me and my bros and sisters into dance comps and talent shows and singing in our gospel church choir. my step dad had a pair of turntables so i would always been playing on them but didn’t know what is was to be a dj til i was 17. lol
i love music that has soul, at home it was reggae, dub roots and culture, dennis brown, iration steppa, tubby t, king tubby, jah shakka, jah movement, bob marley, garnet silk always blasting thru the speakers, when i went into foster care at 13, it was motown, diana ross, marvin gaye, al green, issac hayes, disco, funk, jazz in my ears, i was lucky to have such great parents and foster parents! classical music really gets me too as its all free movement of sound, strings, brass instruments all played and composed by some brilliant minds. and to think some composesers didn’t need the instruments to help write their pieces!! its mindblowing!!!
i started producing in high school when i was 14 replicating old hip hop and dance tunes on cubase 5, i couldn’t and still cant read music for the life of me but i was great at playing it by ear, i took up trumpet lessons and ended up teaching myself coz no matter how hard i try i just cant seem to transfer the sheet music data from page to my brain to my hands but play me the music and i’ll figure it out in 5 minutes, thus getting an A- in music for all my practical work. i really started getting into the blues then and jive rock, chuck berry, tj hooker, bb king, ray charles were all kings of setting moods and completely submerging you into their music.
around the time i started making music was when i fell in love with jungle and drum n bass, alex reese - pulp fiction blew my mind. also i was really into dance music, paul van dyke, oakenfold, sasha were blowing up everywhere with their djing skills and styles, not too keen on present day dance tho, love funky house but not been paying attention for a while now but need to get back into it!
I got into dj’ing at my friend’s birthday partywhen i was 17 and after a dodgy insurance job on my first flat i went out and got some Gemini XL400 belt drives and i was on my way! After 3 months of battering my decks, learning how to mix and making music on cubase vst5 on my pc and music 2000 on my playstation , i started dj’ing at free parties from the likes of NTA, Missing in Manchester, Daylight Robbery, The Satans Slaves ( on bengal street nr sankeys usually ) and others as well as dj’ing in clubs like Club Addiction Northwich under 18s nights, D-tuned at the Blueprint and Basscamp at Ohm in Nottingham and a one off RnB gig at Rumours in Blackpool as well as clubs in manchester like the Font bar where recently i done a couple of live hip hop gigs for Northern Komfort Promotions, the Jam, the Jamfish Altrincham, MMSU Harveys bar, the Old Monk, the Roadhouse, the Redrooms free parties and a dj comp at Bar med on Princess street in 2002 where i came 3rd which i was quiet proud of! check the Events section for more recent gigs and shows i’ve done.

Sense MC
I Speak Sense therefore I Am…………………… I started just as a laugh about 2 years ago just writing bits and bobs with Tokane ( manchester hip hop group Mitch, Jay mccurdy, John Hughes, Will ( dj hesk/ www.hesk.co.uk ) ian Mr P peel, Nic ) and for Abstract Fusion, we did a couple of live shows ( M.U.M.S the word @ the font manchester/ Future Savings @ Jamfish Altrncham and Joshua Brooks Manchester ) which were big things coz i’m a dj at heart so it was mad not hiding behind a pair of decks! over time i started to get more into it and being heavily influenced by UK hip hop, reggae, dub, soul, and old US hip hop as well as Drum n Bass, slowly but surely i started to create my own style! now i’m looking to start talking to the world with no bullshit just straight lyrics! i’m now resident MC at Audiosalad manchester, Therapy Sessions manchester and Invasion blackpool.
. Peace!
