Biography

Glasgow, United Kingdom (1999 – present)

There are, at least, two artists known as Quinn (none to be confused with Glee’s Quinn and the Cheerios): 1) A USA artist / composer. 2) An alias of Glasgow, Scotland’s A Band Called Quinn.

1) A USA artist (Orison Records), who also composes music for television & film. Since graduating from the New England Conservatory of Music with a Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz Performance, he’s collaborated with such notable artists as Tracy Chapman, Bruce Springsteen, REM, Ice-T, Michael Brook, Mitchell Froom, Paula Cole, Belinda Carlisle and East Mountain South. In 1994 his critically acclaimed debut CD Quinn was released and charted number two on Virgin Megastore’s ‘Top 30’. It remained there for nine months with four of its songs being featured in the movies Silent Trigger and Father (Winner of Damah Film Festival Award). In 1996 his second CD Ecstasy in Avila, which included the song Sacred Revelation, aired on radio nationwide and most notably on Morning Becomes Eclectic. It charted both on the Gavin and CMJ charts and was also featured on several compilation CDs, including Elevation II, Respirar II and Tribal Dreaming. His third CD called The Solemn Vow, released in 1998, was conceived as a modern world opera ballet and merged world music and classical music together into a very unique hybrid. In 2000 he released his fourth CD called Chasing Silence on his own independent label called Orison Records. Acedia (The Noonday Demon) was included on the soundtrack for the Academy Award winning film Crash. In 2003 Orison Records released Quinn’s fifth CD, Beneath the Quiet, which made the ‘Best of 2003’ list at Backroads Music.

    Last.fm seems to have mixed up two different artists, a male instrumentalist named Quinn and some female vocalist. The help link on the website wasn't any help in getting this corrected.

    Muchas gracias, amigo myth7791, por esta breve pero interesantísima bio de Quinn. Debo reconocer que es uno de mis grandes "gurús" de la música New Age de meditación, y que a pesar de esto, desconocía todos los datos de su vida, que nos dejaste. Agradezco la labor que te tomaste, y aplaudo tu detalle de dejarnos info sobre este genial artista. ¡Un saludo!

    no se si hablmos del mismo Quinn de Ecstasy In Avilla pero su musica mas bien se parece a Ikarus, Atman y Waterbone!
