Real name of Ghost. Ghost (real name Simon Williamson) is a well known figure in the UK Hip Hop scene. Starting life in Glasgow, moving onto Norwich, Derby, Manchester then London, Ghost has seen a lot of life from a lot of different places which has influenced his sound as it is today. Producing from an early age but unable to fund buying the equipment needed to make music, Ghost spent years learning his trade before releasing any product. From 2000 onwards Ghost spent his time learning mixing techniques and learning the skills needed to be able to release music, he would spend time handing out remix CD's at jams across London, and working on his radio show the "Midweek Session" on London only station dedicated to Hip Hop Itch fm. In Oct 2003 Ghost had "Ghost Stories" released through Breakin Bread records, hooking up with Kashmere, Asaviour & Verb T, DPF and Tommy Evans to feature. The following release which was delayed until May 2005, was titled "Let Em Know" featuring Kashmere, Asaviour & Verb T, Conspicuous & Yungun again released on Breakin Bread Records. More recently Ghost has just completed recording a new 12, "The Pay Off" which is released Nov 05 and features long time collaborators Asaviour & Verb T, Finale from Detroit & Kashmere, and is the first 12" to come from his debut LP "Seldom Seen, Often Heard" set to be released March 06. In between this Ghost has kept a profile by doing some guest production for other artists, although he's kept that to a minimum to keep people hungry for more.....
