Ep 4 AZIZ IBRAHIM

INTRO

Alright - welcome to My 90s music podcast - the podcast where I talk to the people who lived, loved and were in the eye of the storm of the best decade ever - the glorious 90s.

From Atlanta Georgia To Longsight Manchester Recognise that line? You should it’s from Daybreak by The Stone Roses from the album The Stone Roses. That line means so much to my next guest who grew up in Longsight Manchester on a council estate, dodged becoming a Doctor against his parents wishes and became one of the most gifted guitarists of his generation. Today I had the real pleasure of chatting to one of the most positive and savvy people I have met in a long time and that man is Aziz Ibrahim.

Aziz’z energy was palpable even through the zoom audio line as he talked about how kids and technology are the future of music and if you are going to be successful today you have to learn this stuff and understand where the consumption of music is going. Aziz has a new single out called THE KEY OF 3 which you can hear on Spotify, Apple Music etc and also a great line in cool merchandise called M13 (the postcode of Longsight Manchester) including t shirts saying Longsight Loves Ya and Johnny Cash-miri - https://www.wornfree.com/search?type=product&q=aziz*

However, this is MY 90s Music podcast soi we talk about his days in Simply Red, Prog Rock Band Asia, What it was like to join the Stone Roses and filling shoes as big as John Squires and then onto how Aziz got to be himself and unleash his true talent working on songs with Ian Brown from his first solo album Unfinished Monkey Business through to Solarized.
