Karl Penney

A Singer-Songwriters Drummer

Karl Penney on SoundBetter

My approach is to always come up with a drum track that supports the song, whilst also being creative.

At the age of 19 I moved to Liverpool to study and focus on my craft at the 'Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts'
I graduated there in 2004 with a BA (hons) music.

I Have worked with such acts as Liam Bailey, Candie Payne, Hannah Peel, Luke Ritchie, Ayumi Hamasaki, Vagabond, Sandi Thom, John Power (Cast, The La's), Colin Vearncombe (Black), Brit Floyd.

Played live at venues such as 'The Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Arena, The O2, Shepherds Bush Empire, Hammersmith Apollo, Red Rocks, The Greek. Played festivals such as 'Glastonbury, T in the park, V, Bestival, Electric Picnic, Isle of Wight and Latitude'.

Recorded at studios such as 'Abbey road, Parr street studios, Metropolis, Konk, Eden, Elevator, Bryn Derwen, Chem 19, Ape.

I have also recorded under such labels as 'EMI, Sony, Universal, Geffen, Delta Sonic, Rough Trade, Real World, Warner and Polydor' and worked with producers such as 'Dan Austin (Doves, Cherry Ghost) Brian Higgins (Girls Aloud, Cher, Kylie Minogue) Simon Dine (Paul Weller) George Shilling (Steve Winwood) Paul Savage (Franz Ferninand, Arab Strap) MIke Lindsay (Tunng, Laura Marling) Bill Leader (Bert Jansch, Davey Graham, John Renbourn) Jimmy Robertson (Plan B, Florence and the machine, Anna Calvi, Tricky) David Wrench (The Guillamots, Bat for Lashes) amongst others..
