BIOGRAPHY
Vapour is an Internationally known artist. Born, brought up and Based in the UK, He was Born in Barking Hospital, 1982 and Raised in The Romford area of Greater London and Essex. He began writing lyrics aged 13, when he was in school and it was clear that his talent stood tall with words and music, which would easily flourish over time. In late 1997 when Vapour was preparing to take his final school exams he became a member of local pirate radio station Force Fm. It was here that Vapour began to create an image for himself as a energetic, exciting, humorous young host that had an ability to amuse and entertain a crowd with his charisma and witty banter in a light hearted, yet clever and intelligent manner. Vapour grew quickly with an attitude that went down well with his listeners and acquired and vast listenership and a dedicated Fanbase within a short space of time, always keeping his radio show for consistency. In 2000 Vapour was introduced to a Producer of a local record label and they collaborated on a track called “Move your Body” which went on sale across Europe and sold 5000 copies over the first 2 weeks. They also released 2 compilation CD’s that went on mainstream sale. Vapour continued for many years to work and perfect his style, changing over the years from a hyperactive young host with witty, funny story like lyrics and jokes specifically for the purpose of entertaining his radio following, to concentrating more on writing lyrics to fulfil his own happiness. Vapour began to write lyrics about his knowledge and his personal experiences and feelings, always saying what he felt, and always keeping that element of being able to put his cheeky charisma into his lines for the added effects…
Vapour worked for a year between 2001-2 with a crew of East London Mc’s who went by the name of the UnKnown Terrorists (UKT) of which Vapour was one of the front faces of the group. He also became involved in more radio stations and had landed shows on leading pirate stations such as Flava Fm ad DeJaVu Fm, moving to these stations also opened windows to new listeners for him to be discovered by! In 2003 Vapour moved away from his area and didn’t make contact with his music connections or anything he had been involved in for a whole year, as a result of this his music suffered as his following was left almost bewildered and didn’t know where Vapour had disappeared to, during this time garage had become quiet and new scenes, like grime and dubstep, were evolving and creating different groups and catergories for the people to follow. In 2004 Vapour moved back to the London area. Vapour spent most of 2004/5 living in North London where he began producing music and working with lots of DJ’s and radio stations to promote himself, He spent a lot of time drifting and creating, and being in a different area to where he grew up his style began to change. Vapour found himself writing more hip hop over time, making backing tracks to go with lyrics he’d written and thinking of chorus’ to work with the verses, MC Vapour was becoming Vapour the Artist.
In 2005 Vapour signed to Peromi records, an independent record label started by friends, he was required to write a 14 track album. 22 tracks in all were written over the course of the year as he was becoming more settled and The Taylor Made album was put together. Vapour appeared in Magazines such as Blues and Soul Mag, RWD, Hip Hop Connection, DJ magazine and more, but In March 2006 the terminated ended and was discontinued. He then went alone, after years of watching and learning, he began to produce his own mixtape using tracks he had made at Peromi ad tracks throughout 2004 and onwards, and in 2007 Vapour released the unmastered version of the Taylor Made Mixtape, using all old recording he had collected along his travels, without spending a penny for studio time etc, it was like his scrapbook. But Vapour being a perfectionist wasn’t happy with the low quality release and felt it didn’t boast his ability or make him sound his best, he saw it as a way for fans that had missed his work to catch up with where he had been, but not everybody was so ready for the rapid changes and ageing Vapour had returned with. Vapour Saved money made from the proceeds of the Taylor Made Mixtape, bought some Studio essentials and invested in his music.
The Equipment he purchased was used to make his latest 2 al;bums, the now rapidly selling V=MCs SCARED album, all of his music from 2009 and his most latest album, Bohemian RapsofV.
MC Vapour is an international Underground Inspiration to literally Thousands of people all over the world and has loyal fans everywhere and many aspiring artists in the UK. One of the Cleverest, most accurate, charismatic, most respected and entertaining artists of our time, and hopes to one day go mainstream without changing a thing about himself or his music. |
