BIOGRAPHY
GET TO KNOW THE ARTIST
Barry Locke is a singer songwriter from Bangor Northern Ireland. He moved to London in 2014, met Carl Falck at a gig & began working with rooftop records immediately. The past seven years have been challenging yet cathartic for Barry. He started out wanting to release a debut album ‘O N E ‘ which was essentially an auto biography. As each song evolved & developed & new sound emerged that began to gather commercial appeal. Barry’s have always looked inward in order to explore themes and narratives that translate well yet remain completely relatable. The through line of this exploration concerns the very danger of ‘self ‘as an endless knot of indecision and resolve.
“I have always found it difficult to ‘create’ things to sing about and so I have always looked inward to myself and my own experiences. As far as I’m concerned, I live in constant state of flux, at times moving inexorably betwixt several ‘self’s’ jostling for prime position in my past, present and future. 'O N E' refers to one and all, it's in everything I've ever done, or will do. It’s all about returning themes and contexts.”
Supported by a voice that provides power and impact Barry effortlessly holds on to the comforting tonal graces of his home town whilst honestly portraying the raw emotions you’d expect to hear when a young man bares his soul.
