Si Cranstoun – Dynamo

• 6th Jul 2010

Si Cranstoun is the original modern day underground superstar of the south London streets, and his explosive debut solo single is certain to sky rocket bringing a new dimension, that harks back to the golden era of rock n roll, into the pop mainstream once more. ‘Dynamo’ has an infectious groove and Si’s vocals are just too darn supreme for superlatives.

To claim that your voice has been inspired by the great old singers is a promotion tool that many retro styled singers adopt. However, if you put Stevie Wonder on after James Morrison or play Otis Redding after Paolo Nutini you’ve got an obvious knock out in the first verse round…. But, put Jackie Wilson or Sam Cooke on after Si Cranstoun and you’ve actually got a genuinely matched musical fight!

Si Cranstoun is much like the old great band leaders too, not only vocally but his love and passion for music also see him write, produce, dance and record all of his own tracks too. As half of dynamic duo The Dualers ( 2 top 30 hits “Kiss On The Lips & Truly Madly Deeply) Si was personally trained to the level of “Grand Master” in the old school art of song writing for 5 years by Grammy award winning Graham Lyle (writer for Michael Jackson, Tina Turner). Aside from playing guitar and delivering thunderous vocals live on stage with his band, Si prides himself on high octane, energetic dance routines that get compared to an original cross between Justin Timberlake and Gene Kelly.

Si & his band founded this fresh new project last year and have already sold out The Fairfield Halls and landed some major festivals this year including the headline act in Germany at The Big Rhythm Rumble and The Rhythm Riot in Sussex sharing the bill with Jackie Wilson’s son. Si’s band features some of London most revered musicians including Mike Watts on Drums – (drummer for Grammy nominee James Hunter) and Stewart Pannaman on double Bass – (American Doo Wop legend Nappy Brown’s Bass player).
