Clear Wave : The Beginning

Posted by Clear Wave on Tuesday 04 June 2013

It's been a roller coaster of a ride to get to where we are today, and I thought I'd share with you how it all started. Clear Wave Music was alway an ambition of mine, to create a production music library for the media with the best content and the easiest way to access it online. Let me introduce myself, I'm Graham and I've been in the world of media for well over a decade and music has always been my number one passion.

It all started with a band I was in when I was 18, I would say our music was an acquired taste but our inspiration came from bands like Metallica, Incubus, Pantera, kiss, Deftones, so I'll leave it to your imagination as to the style of music. I was always into the production side of things and we ended up recording a couple of albums during our time, but as we grew up we soon grew apart as a band... but the seed of music and production was already sown!

My first experience of the media industry was working in branding and design for new media of the time, including web development, company branding, and digital display content, but is wasn't until my introduction to commercial radio that I was able to rekindle my love of music production.

After writing and producing some of the best and award winning radio commercials in the uk for what was known as GMG radio I then became to realise my music skills of old and entered into the world of Jingles or music indents as we liked to call them.

In the last 5 years I've written and produced for businesses all over the UK including Matalan, Oakwood, Folly Farm, Welsh Blood to name but a few. I have also written hundreds of library music tracks too, being used in radio and tv. Becoming a full writer member of PRS I was invited along to one of their evening meetings where I was introduced to Luke Jones, and this is where the idea of Clear Wave began!

We've both had a lot of success in music for Radio and TV, so a music production library was the obvious next venture. We soon discovered that what we'd be creating would be the only production music library based in Wales.

So here we are today striving to provide some of the highest quality production music for the media world... we hope you enjoy what you hear!!
