TJ Rizing

Originally from Armenia, Yan Manou emigrated to the UK in 1992. As a professional guitarist for over ten years, he cites jazz as a major musical influence. Having been seduced by the intricacies of drum & bass programming, Yan decided to try his hand at producing some tracks of his own. Just a year later he had releases on [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/32427-Forty-Five-Revolutions]45 Revolutions[/url], and '[url=https://www.discogs.com/release/189077-Various-Ambient-Northern-Lights-Volume-II]Just Create RCDS[/url]'‎ – and was receiving strong reviews from the music press. Jan uses only basic equipment in his studio, believing strongly in a minimalist approach to equipment as well as to music. He loves his EMU 6400 Sampler, works like a fanatic and is naturally dedicated to his world of music! After living in London for 12 years, TJ moved to Los Angeles where he currently lives and works as a professional photographer.
