I started writing rhymes in August 2005 in the form of battle verses for an internet site. My nickname Perky is what I called myself for a start and my interest for rap and the occasional win kept me writing rhymes in the form of battles.

During October 2005 a friend of mine passed away and i turned to writing rhymes to channel my grief, my anger and overall discomfort of the situation.

My obsession for rapping grew and grew when I bought my first microphone the Samson Condenser USB microphone, the quality of it was crap....as crap as i was at that time.

However the slight elevation that i could hear kept me going, I got a job as kitchen porter in a local pub in order to be able to afford a Home Studio Setup....with the money I bought the Se 2200a Condenser Microphone and the Behringer Eurorack Ub801 Mixer, after raising the funds i soon got sacked for going to Spain with my football team for a week and not telling the boss....ah well.

Things where getting better in terms of my music, still under the name of Perky I thought I needed a new image a new start away from all the crap tracks i made...then emerged Synical, my new name.

In the summer of 2006 i made a 14 track mixtape called Scribbled Thoughts. It was reasonably successful, also did a song called Say No to Racism, did this for a teacher in my school who was running a black awareness project, the track was sold around the school for charity..
