"Calibre is the first exclusively Irish drum n bass artist, born and bred in Belfast. Calibre was drawn to music at an early age and started playing the violin as a 13 year old, and joined various Irish bands, obviously with a classical influence. He was a pupil at one of Belfasts hardest schools where he was picked on and bullied when he went in with his violin. Consequently, the violin had to go. Drums became his second passion.. Around the age of 15 Calibre got hold of a cheap Bontempi keyboard and began recording short sections. He also had an old bass guitar and a few effects pedals, and using a combination of these and his keyboard, he was coming up with short compositions. From the age of 16 he started playing in bands, anything from jazz, to punk, to rock anything to keep him in music. None of the bands were particularly successful, but Calibres taste for creating music was becoming stronger. After the last band split up, he was given a basic eight-track studio and a good keyboard this was around the first time he experienced electronic music, most of it coming from the early Detroit techno and house, but mostly with an ambient nature. He cites his inspiration around that time being Kenny Larkin, Carl Craig, Juan Atkins, the Orb to name a few this was around 1992. It was actually his older brother who introduced Calibre to drum n bass / jungle, which initially he found too beaty couldnt follow the pattern, as at that point he preferred four to the floor drumbeats ...
