Ian Snowball was born in Maidstone, Kent in 1970. Bought his first 45rpm in 1981 which was That's Entertainment by The Jam. Grew up in an era and area where the Tribes of the day roamed. These Tribes of Mods, Skinheads, Punks, Soul Boys and so on and various other musical and fashion influences of the 1980s shaped who Ian has become, the clothes he likes and the music he adores, especially Northern Soul, Reggae, most of what burst out of the 60s, Acid House and Psychedelic.
