Biography

Warne was born in Carshalton in 1993 at St Helier Hospital and grew up and continues to live in Wimbledon, London after living in north London for three years whilst undergoing an undergraduate course in BA Popular Music studies at Middlesex University between 2011 and 2014.[1][4] Prior to this, Warne attended The BRIT School of Performing Arts and Technology under the Music strand and graduated with a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma In Music in 2011.[5]

Raised by an English father and Thai mother, Warne is a native English speaker and fluent in the Thai language.

Formation of KYROS

Having gone through a number of incarnations, Kyros dates back to 2009 as a solo music project under the working title of Chromology.[6] Adam had begun his experimentation with songwriting whilst undergoing his studies at The BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology.[7]

In 2010, Adam began writing towards what would eventually become Kyros' debut album under the then name of Synaesthesia. In 2012, he joined in collaboration with fellow Middlesex University student Nikolas Jon Aarland, who helped record guitar parts. Nikolas was involved in the recording process of the early demos but left the project in 2013 soon after his parts were re-recorded at Aubitt Studios for the GEP release of the album. This was due to his ongoing work with a number of other projects. He was replaced with guitarist, Ollie Hannifan who helped record a number of the remaining guitar parts for the album as well as contributions from IQ guitarist, Michael Holmes.

Under the band name of Synaesthesia, Adam signed a recording deal with Giant Electric Pea in February 2012 and promptly started the recording process at Aubitt Studios in Southampton for the debut album with IQ guitarist and Giant Electric Pea CEO, Michael Holmes as record producer and Rob Aubrey as recording engineer.[8] The album was recorded through the process of multi-track recording and overdubbing as all the instruments with the exception of bass guitar and electric guitar were performed by Adam Warne. Guitar duties were taken care of by Ollie Hannifan, Nikolas Jon Aarland and minor edits and re-recordings by Michael Holmes. Bass duties were taken care of by Michael Holmes with the exception of Nikolas on the track, Technology Killed The Kids.[7]

Once the recording of the album had finished, Adam began the process of completing the band lineup for future albums and live purposes. He welcomed second guitarist, Samuel Higgins whom he had also met through university, along with drummer, Robin Johnson via an online forum[9] and bassist, Peter Episcopo via recording engineer, Rob Aubrey, into the band with Adam taking care of vocals, synths and keyboard duties from then on.

Kyros's debut album was released originally a self-titled work as the band was under the name of Synaesthesia at the time. The album was released 20 January 2014.[10]

The band performed their debut concert at The Cultuurpodium Boerderij in Zoetermeer supporting IQ.[11]

Kyros went onto welcoming American guitarist Joey Frevola into the band replacing Ollie Hannifan in 2014 and have since parted ways from GEP and independently release their second album, 'Vox Humana' in November 2016.
