- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
With his alluring English slur wrapped around 60Æs inspired pop tones, Fox
Fagan is a stand out amongst his contemporaries. Born in Portsmouth,
Hampshire, UK, Fagan grew up in a cold and rough neighborhood. He was first
drawn into music as a child when visiting the home of his fatherÆs friend and
seeing the other childrenÆs toy keyboards lined up for playing. By the age of
13, he was writing music for his first band and on his way to steady paying
gigs throughout high school. However, life had some changes in store for
Fagan. When he turned 16, his father decided to move the family to Australia
so they could lead a better life.
Not straying far from his roots of Portsmouth, Fox picked up the boxing
gloves when they settled into their new home. A rough and tumble youth, he
naturally excelled, in fact, so well that he was asked to join the Australian
boxing team for the 2000 Olympic Games. This was the crossroads where Fox
ultimately decided to pursue music as a full time career. The wise choice and
diligence paid off as his band toured the sun burnt country supporting
international acts and his songs achieved national airplay.
It wouldnÆt be long though before the call of true love was pointing in the
direction of Southern California. In June of 2008, Fox packed his bags to
chase a girl and found himself living in a place where his music could be
nurtured and reach its full potential. Los Angeles proved to be an
inspirational place for Fox Fagan and the vibrations of the city lead to some
of the most poetic works thus far in his career. Such writing can be heard in
his original songs; ôWouldnÆt Change a Thingö and ôBrothersö.
In support of his debut EP "Never Fall In Love With A Stranger", Fagan has
performed extensively in Los Angeles and toured the East Coast of the U.S.
from Florida to New York gracing the stage at venues such as Rockwood Music
Hall, EddieÆs Attic and the illustrious and somewhat treacherous, ChurchillÆs
Pub. The EP, features FaganÆs tasty brand of indie pop and a British swagger
reminiscent of the old English punk rockers. This sound, Fagan credits to the
method of recording live and never in more than a few takes in order to
capture the real energy of a musician and retain the essence of the art.
