“After proudly being fired from all my former musical endeavours, I moved to LA in the early 2000’s and got the chance to work with Giorgio Moroder and the great producer Keith Forsey (Simple Minds, Billy Idol) amongst others, and have been happily working in the music, film and video game industry ever since. My main gig has been writing dodgy reality tv music, which, although financially rewarding, is not terribly artistically fulfilling at times so I therefore felt the ‘itch’ as it were to put together a new project a couple of years ago and so Featured came about.” – Julian Beeston, 2020
