Biography

British vocalist, musician, producer, and artist. Born: 12 May 1981 in Hertfordshire, England, UK. Bristol-based Westbeech spans the styles of hip-hop, soulful house, and drum'n'bass – the latter under alias [a=Lean (3)]. As a classically trained cellist, pianist, and vocalist, he was raised on his dad's rock & roll, though was turned onto beat and bass-driven music in the late 1980's, with influences ranging from [a=N.W.A.] to [a=LTJ Bukem]. At age 12 he bought turntables and started collecting and mixing music, playing in orchestras and choirs by day, and mixing dance music by night. After two years of university music and drama courses, Westbeech opted for work experience with drum'n'bass artists [a=Shy FX] and [a=T-Power], going on to produce tracks for MC Sirplus and his own tracks. His track "[Link]" (2006) was the first single on [a=Gilles Peterson]'s label [l=Brownswood Recordings], followed by the album "[Link]" (2007). He worked with [a=Jazzanova] on tracks "[Link]" (2008) and "[Link]" (2011), and did production work for other artists. After a couple of years, he moved into a more house music sound, with a couple of singles on Italian label [l=D:vision Records] and US label [l=Strictly Rhythm] "[Link]" (2011) and "[Link]" (2011), along with album "[Link]" (2011). Taking a break, he then did a collaboration with US artist [a=Christian Taylor (2)] (aka [a=Kon]) under artist project [a=The Vision (16)] featuring vocalist [a=Andreya Triana] on popular UK house music label [l=Defected], releasing album "[Link]" (2020), along with four singles "[Link] (2019), "[Link]" (2020), "[Link]" (2020), and "[Link]" (2021).

LYRICS

So high when I'm away from you
You got me like I O U
So high when I'm away from you
I wanna be around you
I wake up in the morning
Everyday
And I think of you laying by my side
Would you ever be my bride?

And I smoke things just to calm myself
(Feelings)
Put 'em back while I'm at shove
Let 'em sit there for a while
Collect dust just around before I see his smile

And I'm goin' out of bed to make a cup of tea
Maybe hum a little melody like, hmm, yeah

I take a sip then I walk upstairs
My jewel thoughts caught me on a glance
'Coz I'm hurting from not seeing you
While you sing this song when I'm feeling blue

It's so high when I'm away from you
I need your love like I O U
So high when I'm away from you
I wanna be around you, baby

That's so high when I'm away from you
I need love like I O U
So high when I'm away from you
I wanna be around you, baby

Slowly I move away
From my true love and I am sad

Now I am feeling down again
Like a long, lonely down and out
'Coz I know that I'll fit in your shoe
Like a kiss with a view and a honey chew

Then I take a minute to comprehend
I got a letter that I need to send
And you know it is handed to you
With a post box from the inter city gloom

It's so high when I'm away from you
I need your love like I O U
So high when I'm away from you
I wanna be around you, baby

That's so high when I'm away from you
I need your love like I O U
So high when I'm away from you
I wanna be around you, baby
