Kylolus

Firstly, let it be clear that no AI is used in the writing and recording of any Kylolus songs! ‘Kylolus’ is the unofficial collaboration that gives life to the music of Oxfordshire songwriter, Murray Edmunds – that’s me! I’ve been writing songs for several decades now, since learning classical piano as a child, but I was raised on ‘prog rock’ and take my influences from the great bands of the 70s, as well as songwriters like Al Stewart, Jackson Browne and Elton John. I would describe Kylolus' music as a mix of rock and ballads, sometimes blended with ethereal and folk elements. I take lyrics very seriously, and believe that they (as well as the melody) should be elegant, worthwhile and resonate with listeners, so I often write about life events and emotional experiences that I hope others can relate to. More than 10 years ago I was introduced to local professional singer and vocal coach, Andrew James, who has been Kylolus' vocalist and producer ever since. Andrew, in turn, introduced me to guitarist Steve Skidmore (‘Skidders’), and these guys are integral to the sound of Kylolus. They are both superb songwriters in their own right, and upgrade my songs with their input into the musical arrangements. As Kylolus, our goal is to make song recordings of the highest quality we can, and to have fun in the process.
