Lushlife is one of a new breed of MCs. Lush's diversity lies within some 20 years of musical education - he spent 13 of them in classical piano training, along with a 7 year course in Jazz kit drumming, he has arranged music for Jazz combos and performed on street-corners and at Manhattan's prestigious Steinway Hall. Feeling disillusioned after a year of studying music Lush decided to go back to the reason he first started playing music: hip-hop.
