Liam Howlett |
Liam Howlett is from Cressing in Essex. He's a classically trained
pianist and DJ. His father had made him take up classical piano lessons
since the age of 13 (but he still can't read notes). When he went
to school he learnt break-dancing and danced a lot with his crew Pure
City Breakers.
Liam is the man behind the Prodigy. He is a musical genius. He writes,
produces, mixes, performs and basically just does it all for the Prodigy.
But don’t be fooled by those saying he’s the Prodigy - without the
others, the whole Prodigy spirit would be nothing. He always works
alone in his studio, he can write music only if he’s on his own and
no one else is around and he like to work at night (he usually starts
at 10 in the evening).
His history includes DJ-ing for a hip hop act which he became discriminated
with, because he is white and there before was not as accepted as
the others. From this he purchased a keyboard with the intention of
making a few songs for fun.
He lived in Braintree for a long time (until the age of 26), but then
he moved out of there setting up his studio in the Essex countryside.
He also built a brand new home studio The Dirtchamber when he moved
there. His old studio was called The Earthbound Studios. He also have
a shared flat with Keith Flint near London clubland’s nerve centre
of Hoxton Square.
He loves fast cars – among others, he had a Ford Cortina, a Mercedes
Sport and an AC Cobra. His favorite car is the Ferrari F40. Maybe
the most expensive car that he owns is a McLaren Mercedes f1.
His latest look is the dyed blond spikey hair. He has a very positive
attitude, not really care what people say about his music and prefers
if the band just remains to be called a dance group then anything
else. Liam is known to be the most quiet one in the band. Except when
he comes to interviews. He is always throwing in swear words somewhere.
Especially when someone is complaining about his music. Nothing that
anyone says will change the attitude. |
