Flying Man is the stage name of Dunedin based Irish-born live-looping guitarist and singer/songwriter Alan Ned Gray. Flying Man’s song-writings sit in the electroacoustic realm - playing programmed beats, live looping and layered harmonies. Haunting melodies and infectious rhythms are coupled with lyrics which tell stories from snapshots in time. Alan has been writing music since he was 14 and was a member of Irish band Lucas who had a top 40 single in the Irish charts as well as successful tours of the US East Coast where they also recorded their debut album with famed multi grammy nominated Rob Fraboni. Flying Man has released three singles reaching over 90 thousand streams on Spotify and has garnered rave reviews from live performances around New Zealand. |
