Aaron North


Aaron Wright North is a world famous guitarist and celebrates his birthday today in the month of color- March. He is the guitarist of the famous "Punk" band, The Icarus Line. Not only does his interest lies in the field of guitaring, he is also proficient in the field of vocals, as he also renders his talent to the band "Jubilee" as a vocalist and a guitarist. Being a guitarist and a vocalist, all at the same time is a truly difficult job to do. Those in the music business say that the only thing that one needs to be proficient in a particular field is to be good at it, but irrespective of the fact, he is good at both, because performing in two bands needs serious talent, which Aaron North sure possesses.


Aaron North


His Horoscope may have pointed to a different direction when he was young, but he sure was born to be who he is known for today. Anybody from the guitaring fraternity, to say all the guitar fanatics, are in awe of this particular guitarist, mainly because of his style of playing the instrument. His style of flailing the guitar wildly while performing has made him a one of a kind guitarist in the music band scene. Not only he has an unconventional approach towards music, his thoughts and his feedback is soo out of league from the normal people that the fact that musicians are god sent, seem true. Aaron North is also a touring guitarist for the group "Industrial rock".  




Born in the month of March and coming from the Aries birth-sign, makes him uniquely blessed with qualities such as this. Though giving all the credit to his passion will be right, some part of the appreciation may be diverted to the fact that he was outspoken, both on stage and off the stage, like most musicians are. There is something about them, rough and raw which draws music out of them, the strumming of the chords set a different rate of blood flow in their veins and they are gripped in trance. That may be the reason why he was infamously involved in many grave legal trouble and that too not one or two times, but a numerous times, taking his black- Celebrity tag to a notch higher every time he made it to the headlines.




We know that even though in all the ages and in all the times there are people who not only like the out and out raw things, similarly Aaron had his share of fans who were fan of his ways. He was thus also the owner and the co-founder of "Buddyhead". "Buddyhead" is a music website to be precise, but it was the kind of outlet Aaron wanted. Aarons, opinionated writing and many praise worthy interviews that he conducted with famous personalities like Kevin shields and etc. The guitarist that he was, he made a niche for himself with his music.
