MULTI-PLATFORM ARTIST & AUTHOR (GEISHA)
MULTI-PLATFORM ARTIST & AUTHOR (GEISHA)
'A photographer and artist of recognition and significance' Saatchi Art
'The best songwriter of his generation, the nearest thing to John Lennon and Ray Davies' Bruce Replogle (last manager and PR person for John Lennon before he died).
'Fantastic, refreshing, hypnotic and appealing writing style': Said by many readers on Amazon who got some of his books.
Although Russell C. Brennan (aka R. C. Writer & Russell Writer) features on many websites this one is the definitive in-depth one about him. He is one of the only male Geishas in the world. The word Geisha means 'Total Artist' or Multi-Platform Artist and he fits that kimono very well. He has had over 500 releases worldwide as a record producer (has been nominated for UK record producer of the year & produced number one hits), and national newspaper The Independent called him an indie production God. Has had nearly 100 song releases and last year featured on the front cover of Songwriter International Magazine. He is the author of no less than 18 book releases, not to mention taken hundreds of iconic photo images and is an award-winning poet and was one of the first super DJs playing big clubs. He has most definitely been a pioneer & innovator in all the arts as well
He has created many brands, including the influential Dedicated Follower publication (That even featured in a V & A exhibition as a testament to cool culture). Also ground breaking Indie label Future Legend Records. (a book celebrating its 30th anniversary has just been released). The 'Memories are Made of This' franchise of books is yet another brand. There also can't be too many artists whose output is worth more now than when it was originally released, including records, books & artwork/photos. He is also someone who is still relevant on a monthly basis due to regular music releases, art/photo exhibitions and book or magazine releases. He had no less than three big exhibitions last year including the first ever multi-platform exhibition which not only featured his photos and artwork but poetry readings, book signings and Q & A, plus live performance of songs from his band Psykick Holiday's new CD album Sensory Art.
