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.
