Decimal 5 is a 25 year old British music producer based in London. He established himself in the scene in 2018 with the release of his summer single 'Running Wild', kickstarting his career.
Born in Whitechapel, London: the first piece of music Decimal 5 wrote was a first movement to an orchestral symphony at the age of 6. He grew up in a diverse musical background as his father was a musician.
After insisting that he wished to give up his piano studies, both parents forced him to continue and ensured that practice was completed daily. By the age of 13, he had completed his ABRSM Grade 8 piano, clarinet and singing exams scoring high distinctions in all; and later continuing to perform to an audience at London’s Royal Festival Hall and HM Queen Elizabeth II.
Decimal 5 listened to classical, R&B and early dance pop music. His mother was into music ranging from Kylie Minogue to Glen Miller further influencing him. After hearing Iglu & Hartley’s “In This City”, he became obsessed with modern music, and expressed an interest into music production at the age of 14, and was bought a copy of Cubase.
Spring 2017 saw the release of his debut single “Running Wild” (released on Ninety9Lives), which gained the attention of Super YouTuber ‘CaptainSparklez’, and further being championed by BBC Introducing and receiving spot plays. Following the success of Running Wild, Decimal 5 was hand-selected to appear at multiple UK festivals.
