Colin Hargreaves was born in Montreal in 1974 and adopted by newly arrived parents from England. Enriched with music, his father was a trained musician who played harpsichord and piano. Growing up, Colin also learned to play recorder, piano and clarinet. It was clear from an early age that Colin liked to engage himself with an audience, competing in local Kiwanis music festivals and performing at school talent shows and church functions. Colin always enjoyed his family visits to England, also for the exposure to the variety of music and radio stations not readily available in his small hometown of Deep River, Ontario. At 14, the family moved to the city of Ottawa where Colin soon was immersed into new underground sounds. House and Techno, music one could only hear on University radio or at 'All-Ages' nightclubs that featured Disc Jockeys and went all-night long. 'Club Zinc' and 'Cafe Deluxe' were among the earliest clubs in the area Colin enjoyed in this fresh scene of the early 90's...
