We are a 4 peice instrumntal band from the east of england. we play all sorts of music, from classical to funk, from rock to drum n bass. we write our own Music in order to get our own unique sound. All the songs have a set genre however, within one song, other stlyes are fused within it.
For more infomation please go to our main web site, www.themotif.co.uk....it's all about hearing it live!!!Band/artist history
Before the formation of The MOTIF Stef and Matt met at a Jam Session at a local pub and played together in a Jazz/Blues Instrumental Band, called Nothing 2 Hide from 2001-03.
Stefan met RJae in 2003 at Colchester Institute (College)and performed alongside each other for different projects within the college courses.
Stefan then introduced him to Matt and tried to formed a band with just the three of them. But it wasn't as easy as it sounds.
They shared the same ideas and musical ambitions but there styles didn't match so well. Ryan was reluctant to join but Stef, well known for his persuasive skills, made Ryan come to his senses and formed the band. After several rehersals, we all knew that something vital was missing...a Bass Player.
Once again, Stefan went on the hunt for the fianl member of the band, Owen. Owen is the most experinced and older out of the other members. his stlye immediatley brought together and made sense of all the ranging stlyes between everyone.
And from that day on, four became one as the MOTIF and the rest is history.Have you performed in front of an audience?Our music sounds better live than it does in the studio. This is probably because in studio you have to pay more attention to detail, however, playing live is what we enjoy most, and that's why the band was formed.
We mainly play in suffolk, norfolk and essex.
special moments? well, there are many, but we try to make it all special :-)
