PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE

The L.C.D. (aka, Large Conscious Delivery / Last Child Dancing) began his musical life back in 1999 at the age of sixteen, becoming a key member of the Brixton based hip hop collective, Elements Bound. Following four years of small basement type gigs and experimental recording, he decided to move to Winchester, to study a combined degree in Business and Drama.

By this point (aged 20), he started to feel like he should be putting down his own sounds and decided to invest in a guitar. It was this passion which led LCD to attend the open mic night after a year of playing and meet band mates who would soon after, form the Hip Hop Farmers. It was being one of two frontmen in this band, that developed LCD's confidence, style and onstage persona, supporting such bands as Nizlopi, The Bluetones and SixNationState. This in turn, led to a constant desire to take rap out of its usual environment and started looking for a new sound to work with...

Enter Rooms (2005), forming one half of the duo Rooms + LCD (Rooms = Producer and LCD = Lyrics and vocals). Rooms + LCD spent 18 months solidly writing and recording in a basement bedroom, developing an array of digital, Chicago Jazz infused jems, adapting some of the greatest forgotten samples and alternate lyrics.

The track Festival, released in June 9th 2008, was written at the end of Summer 2006, following a string of gigs, festivals and the best kinds of hangovers and is to date, LCD's favourite song he's made. The L.C.D. can now be found gigging in the duo Rooms + LCD, or performing his solo accoustic show in a host of venues around the south coast.
