We Could Foreverby Bonobo

Bonobo's Simon Green on his early influences. "As I grew up, I was listening to different kinds of music and then I realised I was interested in electronic music. My parents came from the British folk scene. Especially my dad. He was involved in that whole Cecil Sharpe House scene in the '70s and '80s, so I grew up with a lot of people jamming around me. In the '90s, I was in a band, and from then on I've always been exposed to electronic music. I listened to jazz more than hip-hop in the early '90s and just wanted to explore it more and more. I started sculpturing with jazz music. It was such a huge universe to explore and I always look back into that area even today for inspiration." bit.ly
