JUNIOR DESAI

http://www.junior-desai.com

Songs on Rotation: "Feel No Way", "Girl I"

INFORMATION:Junior, at only 22 years old is already a natural born performer & has been writing music since the age of 13! He is an MC, producer, rapper and all around self-confessed musical genius.

He self pens songs across all types of urban and dance music, including house, grime, and r ’n’b, but these genres do not describe the sound that Junior has produced to its full potential. He is so fresh and unique and his music will make you want to turn up the volume and hit the dance floor.

For Junior, his music is an expression of his mixed heritage, influences coming from the Caribbean, Africa, India and Britain which has given him a unique insight into both music and cultural issues which he explores through his songs, to bring you a fusion of hard beats, style and songs you won’t easily forget!

Junior started to road test his music at amateur performances at the age of 16, where he realised that his individual style had a big appeal to young audiences. Since then, the interest from the commercial market has escalated and Junior decided to go back to the drawing board and has now recorded in excess of 20 tracks across the urban and dance genre in preparation for his debut album. Junior also has the rare ability to play music by ear so has also co-produced his own beats too. We could write the usual life story
struggles about Junior, but you don’t need to read about the dark days just listen to the musical inspiration it has given him to produce amazing tracks that will top the charts and fill the dance floor.
