Second Person

Second Person is a British band that mixes influences from trip hop, jazz, hip hop and electronica to form Post Trip Hop.

In late 2001, singer Julia Johnson and producer/bassist Mark Maclaine met, and early the following year formed the band Second Person. Drummer Alvaro Lopez was recruited in mid 2004 to complete the current line up and their debut album Chromatography was released later that year. It went on to sell out of its initial white-label run in United Kingdom, USA and Australia through word of mouth and publicity generated by musical placements on documentaries and extreme sports films. The band went on to record a live DVD at the The Bedford in London and score music for a number of British broadcasters (including BBC and Channel 4) and one of the main suppliers of music for the international broadcaster: The Extreme Sports Channel.

It was a year before the band returned to the studio to start writing and recording a second studio album. In this time, they continued their work on film and television scores and concentrated on developing their unique sound. The band released their new album The Elements on 9th August 2007, it was co-produced and mixed by legendary producer/engineer Tony Platt (Bob Marley, Iron Maiden and also credited with engineering the second biggest selling album of all time: AC/DC's Back in Black). This album has already gained a high media profile in the UK as Second Person are the first British band to have raised the $50,000 target on Sellaband - which allows fans to invest directly in bands on the site.
