A bit about me - Liam Holmes

Liam Holmes grew up listening to a variety of musicians and genres that have played an influential role in shaping his signature sound. For some, music is just a way to let out a little bit of energy, but for Liam Holmes it’s so much more than that – it’s a way of life. 

​

A brief history

​

Liam was raised in Dagenham, in the South East of England. Growing up under the wing of his Mum, Dad and four Brothers at the family home. During he’s school years Liam was never shy of a performance or two. Ever the practical joker and entertainer, He took to the stage during school plays and knew from a young age that performing for an audience was where his life was destined to lead.

​

Aged 6, Liam sung for his entire assembly class, performing Michael Jackson’s Earth Song & You Are Not Alone, showcasing a confidence that would have students, teachers and his parents realise where his natural gifts were.

This fun, energetic, curious guy seeked audiences of music lovers from a young age, and his energy had eventually turned to consistent songwriting. He soon found his way towards music performances where he could play his heart out.

​

During his teens Liam dabbled in UK Garage and Grime music, and as way of keeping his creative urges flowing, he appeared on notable underground pirate radio stations, and would be heard offering insight into his life growing up in the south east, under the allias "Legacy MC". Rapping, with the odd singing vocal was Liam's forte. 

​

At this point in time here was Liam merely finding his way in music and felt comfortable writing lyrics and expressing himself on the mic, which in turn earned him notable exposure on the social networking site, MySpace.

​

In 2006 Liam opened his first official music website via Myspace. Having no computer at home he would make daily trips to the library in order to update his page with news and music. Recording music on his initial DAW, Cubase, he would prepare rough demo's of songs he had and book in time at the library, and often overstay his welcome, to upload these tracks to his Myspace page. Liam gained huge exposure on that platform, and was often topping the Myspace music charts with his songs, which drew attention from all over the world, namely American music labels. This was Liam's start in music...

​

Throughout the past decade Liam has performed in renowned music venues in the UK, as well as various pubs, clubs, bars and theatres, showcasing original songs and creative covers.

​

With a dedication to always do what he loves, and be who he is, bouncing back from adversity, with a new found desire to inspire others, Liam Holmes takes us to new levels of creative comfort, and believes in becoming exactly who we're intended to become.
