Artist: Love Rhino

Profile

Jonathan O'Riordan (aka Love Rhino) began his musical career in 1995, when he performed as a singer/songwriter for the first time supporting The Mellow Drops in The Funnel (Dublin). It was his first public performance since beginning learning the guitar at age 7.

Since that time, he has performed music in various cities worldwide as a songer/songwriter: Galway, Edinburgh, London, Paris, and even had a regular weekly slot in a bar called "The Philosopher's Club" just outside San Francisco during the summer of 1997. Later that same year he formed an improvisation-based guitar trio called Phned cZensic with two close friends. It was through this trio that Jonathan first began working with electronic music.

His first live electronic performance, where he was billed as "Vibrotronics", was for the DEAF 2002 fringe festival with The Alphabet Set in Molloy's Tavern on the October Bank Holiday weekend 2002. He's has played two Invisible Agent Records launch parties and currently resides in New Zealand.
