Gary Go - Best Selling Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancellation, Bluetooth 5.0, 30H Playtime for Running, Gym, Work & Travel - Comfortable Secure Fit for Active Lifestyle

Product Description After leaving school at 17, Gary worked at a string of record companies and recording studios, like Eurythmic Dave Stewart's Artist Network. Gary even interviewed for a job at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, but was told by Gabriel himself that maybe he "should concentrate on songwriting." Luckily, Gary took his advice. He traveled to America, where he worked at a New Jersey recording studio and rented a room in Frank Sinatra's old house in Hoboken - there he composed many of the songs that appear on Gary Go. Gary now brings bona fide pop hits to the US. Having just completed tours with two of Britain's all time best selling bands Take That and Lady Gaga, Gary is on his way to the US. "Wonderful" the first single is already climbing the pop charts at radio after topping the charts in the UK and Italy! From the Artist Gary Go, that's me! Born and raised in London, England in the shadow of Wembley Stadium. I had an insight into music early because my older cousin was in bands and used to let me sit in his studio while he wrote and recorded songs. He used to give me Bowie and Beatles records to listen to. Then I heard wives' tales about Paul McCartney not really being Paul McCartney and how the clues to his death were in the artwork of their albums and that had me pretty spooked when listening to the Beatles for quite some time. I got really into early Bowie (like The London Boys era), then came T.Rex, Queen, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkle and of course Michael Jackson. I tried writing songs when my cousin gave me my first keyboard, a little Casio. I wrote a song called "The Stomach Ground" about a village of people living on someone's stomach. I basically wrote more and more songs, and figured out how to multi-track using a double cassette deck. Music was where I was heading. I left school to get a job in a recording studio, I made tea and setup microphones. Then I setup The Canvas Room, my own little studio and record label. I made an e.p called the So So...e.p and started playing shows around London. Someone who heard the So So...e.p happened to run a big studio in New Jersey USA and I was invited out there to record another e.p and I wrote an e.p called The Diary Of Rodney Harvey, inspired by an article I had read about the tragic rise and fall of this promising star. I ended up living in Manhattan for a few months, playing music, writing songs and working in studios. I moved back to New Jersey and somehow got a room in the house that Frank Sinatra grew up in. I bought a little Casio keyboard, just like the one my cousin had given me when I was five and I started writing songs for my first album. Open Arms: I ran into an old school friend in the street where I grew up in Wembley. We started to talk about old friends..."Whatever happened to that guy in maths class who..." and "whatever happened to..." Thinking about the past. I started thinking...Whatever happened to so many things that have changed. The song started here and then the melody just followed this idea. It's all about reflection, change and perspective. Life changes shape as we live it and things may not be how you expect them to be, but you have to see them for "what they are at the time." So So: This is the oldest song on the album and was originally recorded for my first e.p, The So So Ep, but I always knew it would have to be on my first album. The song really says a lot about me: My love/hate relationship with my city, my indeciveness and as one magazine put it, has "British cynicism distilled into song." It's almost a whole song of self analysis and searching. My favourite line is "time is the time that it takes"...simple, yet somewhat scientific. Engines: This song is about breaking down, either in a relationship or on our own. It's about finding the strength to start again through facing and understanding the past. The "engines" in the song are the things that drive us...our souls, our dreams, our hopes and beliefs. I recorded this at my studio The Canvas Room and at Mark Knopfler's studio, my favorite studio in London!! Wonderful: This song was written on the steinway grand at my favorite studio in new jersey (the same piano Lennon recorded "Imagine" on at The Record Plant). I had moved to New Jersey to write and develop my album. I was really searching for my musical identity in a way, and starting to question myself. This song was about reminding myself of my worth and a song to pick myself up from despair and insecurity. Parrallel to that, I was also reaching out to someone in my life that needed a lift. We are all miracles. This song was written in NJ and recorded in Prague. Life Gets In The Way: The title says it all. "It's hard to change when life gets in the way." I am always searching to grow, change and become the best person I can be...but life can get in the way, especially in relationships. My favorite line is "where's the spark when the spark is gone??". Brooklyn: I had a magical affair with Brooklyn. Such a famous place. Had heard so many things about B'lyn before I went there. It was so quiet in my mind when I went there. This song is sad, written by a lonely englishman in new york. Refuse To Lose: I remember wanting to take this song in a TV On The Radio direction in the production at one point. This song is what it says. Triumph against adversity. Don't be phased by the world. It's my rocky theme tune to myself! It's my fight music. "We're all fighting our own battles" as the song says, and this is the soundtrack to mine! Honest: My favourite song on the album always. Understated with a huge release of color and truth at the end. Lisa Fischers soaring ad libs at end hark back to Pink Floyd's "Great Gig In The Sky." Recorded in New Jersey. About being honest with myself and those around me. Heart and Soul: About following your dreams and chasing your destiny. Speak: Originally on my first So So EP I totally rediscovered this song as I was making the album, so gave it some brand new clothes to wear, even changing the time signature and inviting Carina Round to sing the voice of the sub conscience. Love the build. This was recorded in Prague. Black and White Days: A hyper ballad about something loved. About the Artist A gifted vocalist, sharp-tongued narrator and ambitious musician, Brit import Gary Go and his epic, stadium-ready pop/rock redefines the notion of a singer-songwriter: Gary Go isn't a guy with an acoustic guitar - he's a composer with a musical army. And now, Go is poised to win over U.S. audiences with his own singular brand of unforgettable pop hooks and life-affirming lyrics. His self-titled debut album is due out September 15th on Decca Records (but available exclusively on iTunes a month earlier), with a fall tour to follow. The UK publication The Sun put it best when they described Go as "The musical love child of Chris Martin and David Gray, with an added dash of bespectacled charm," while Q Magazine called Gary Go's disc a "gigantic pop debut." Go's infectious tunes, keen lyrics and unique voice have already made Gary Go a massive commercial and critical smash in England, where he's currently on the road supporting Take That - with a rather curious instrument in tow: his iPhone. The Apple virtuoso wrote several tracks - including the special non-album cut, "Superfuture" - using iPhone software to produce an authentic, full-band sound. He plans to recreate such songs on stage this summer. "I think it's pretty amazing that I'm going to be using a mobile phone on stage at Wembley Stadium in front of so many people," says Go, who has a special connection to the legendary venue. As a child, the London-born singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist would sit by his bedroom window, listening to U2 and The Rolling Stones play around the corner at Wembley Stadium and penning his own songs on a toy Casio. Go's first original composition - written at age 8 - was about a village of people living on someone's stomach. He called it "Stomach Ground." "I grew up in a wacky artistic world where anything is possible," says Go, whose father was a producer for Jim Henson's Muppets. And there's no doubt about that. After leaving school at 17, Go worked entry-level positions at a string of record companies and recording studios, like Eurythmic Dave Stewart's Artist Network and London's legendary Townhouse Studios. Go even interviewed for a job at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, but was told by Gabriel himself that maybe he "should concentrate on songwriting." Luckily, Go took his advice. He traveled to America, where he worked at a New Jersey recording studio and rented a room in Frank Sinatra's old house in Hoboken - there he composed many of the songs that appear on Gary Go. After a string of writing/recording sessions in Prague, the Catskills, New York City, Los Angeles and finally his own Canvas Room studio in West London, Go completed his impressive debut album. "I want my music to affect people in some way beyond telling `I love you, you love me' kinds of stories," says Go, who draws as much inspiration from David Bowie, Paul Simon and Bob Dylan as he does from TV on the Radio and Death Cab for Cutie. "I'm trying to talk about emotions, and trying to be a better person, and that's the kind of stuff I want to talk about through the music - I'm trying to say something." And he's succeeding. But not just through song - Go also uses the Internet as a way to maintain a constant connection with his fans. His official website, GaryGo.com, boasts his Twitter feed, an online diary called Left Side of the Brain, real-time photo updates from his Flickr and a video blog so fans can follow Go's adventures on the road and beyond. In fact, Go even used his site to write a song - "The Heart Balloon." After snapping a pic of a heart-shaped balloon caught in a tree outside his window and posting it to Flickr, Go asked his Twitter followers to contribute lyric ideas. He has also generated a ton of buzz for his Who Is Gary Go initiative - WhoIsGaryGo.com - where thousands of people around the world are able to create online profiles, share their own life stories and learn more about Go in the process. But here's one thing about Go you should know now: his debut album, Gary Go, is a soaring and infectious ride - as much an exercise in pop songcraft as it is a narrative on the human condition. Fraser Kennedy, Assistant Producer of Live from Abbey Road, calls Go "a brilliant songwriter with a great pop sensibility. He's an adult pop artist, and all the songwriters who've been successful lately... should be looking over their shoulders." Standout tracks like the deliciously cynical "So-So," the sweeping, shimmering positivity of "Open Arms" and the album's first, and undeniably uplifting single, "Wonderful," are musically and lyrically radiant - complex, anthemic pop songs that speak to dashed hopes, realized dreams, daring optimism and crushing apathy. "A lot of the themes on the album are about light and dark - trying to see the positive side of a darker situation," says Go. "... Like `Open Arms' is a list of things I wanted to be, and `Wonderful' is about reminding yourself that you're wonderful. That was kind of the theme of the record - every cloud has a silver lining." Engineered by Kevin Killen (U2, Elvis Costello, Tori Amos) and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (U2, Green Day), Gary Go also features the Waking Vision Trio, Living Colour's Will Calhoun and Doug Wimbush (also of the Sugar Hill Gang), acclaimed singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur and singer Carina Round. Go and his band have already won fans on the live circuit with summer festival appearances at Brighton's Great Escape, V Festival, Latitude and T in the Park and support slots with The National, The Feeling and Fratellis. Up next is a European tour with Lady Gaga later this summer. Go is no stranger to the platinum-haired songstress - "I love her and I hope someday she loves me too," says Go, who recently recorded a darker, stripped down version of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" as an exclusive for iTunes in the UK. So get ready, America - because this Gary is ready to Go. See more
