Quicksand Kerry - biog
Quicksand Kerry is a singer, songwriter, musician,
misfit, attention seeker, people watcher, multi-fetishist and general
extrovert from Leeds, England, given to fits of whatever seems fun at
the time and writing bizarre biographies of himself in the third person.
Real name Mike Jackson, he was born in Kendal in 1977,
completing his first work, the timeless "Every time I die I get
buried" aged five. He didn't understand the concept of mortality at
that age, it just sort of swung as a phrase. Rumoured tapes of this
early performance continue to elude collectors.
Moving to warmer climes (the Isle of Wight) aged seven,
he started lessons on piano and violin, failed spectacularly on the
latter instrument and took up saxophone instead. Later on he gave that
up too, but not before becoming infected by jazz, with which he
maintains an on-and-off battle to this day.
