September 18 1973 inHuntingdon ,Cambridgeshire ,England ) is a musician and soul singer. He also has a group withCristian Vogel called Super Collider.Lidell is known for layering tracks made with his voice into a microphone and performing the percussion and melody as a sequenced, beatboxing
one-man band . Then over his augmented voices, he sings soul-inspired songs. This exercise makes for energetic live performances, including one at Bumbershoot in Seattle, WA where he set one of his speakers on fire. Lidell has become renowned for his diverse range of genre-exploration. Following the release of his latest album, "Jim", Lidell commented [ [http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/multiarticlesub.aspx?csid1=121&csid2=4&fid1=30884/ Exclaim Article, May 2008] ] ,“I want it to be about music, I think every musician does. But I think inevitably it ends up becoming about personality, which is what gives rise to the music, so people want to make sure that they get a bit of both. The more things do well, the more people want to know why it does well.”
His song "Multiply" was used on the television show "
Grey's Anatomy ", and was also included on its second soundtrack. Another song from his album "Multiply", "A Little Bit More", was featured in a series of commercials for the U.S. retailer Target. He often collaborates with Canadian musicians such as Gonzales, Feist and Mocky.Discography
