Biography

Warne was born in Carshalton in 1993 at St Helier Hospital and grew up in Wimbledon, London. She lived for three years in north London whilst undergoing an undergraduate course in BA Popular Music studies at Middlesex University between 2011 and 2014. [3] [7] 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. [8] She now lives in Hoxton, London and works as an engineer at Old Street Studios. [3]

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

Warne came out as a trans woman in 2021. [9] [10]

Audio engineering and Old Street Studios

After parting ways with recording label, Giant Electric Pea in 2015, Warne and the rest of the members of Kyros took the decision to independently produce and release the album, 'Vox Humana' after forming their independent management company, Kyros Media Group. [11] [12] Leaving behind the production efforts of Michael Holmes and Rob Aubrey at Giant Electric Pea, Warne took over mixing and production duties at her then home studio in Wimbledon. Mixing was completed in early 2016. [13] [14] After years of mixing practice and working on future Kyros material, Warne took the decision to bring her mixes forward as a showreel. She eventually landed a position at the Hoxton-based, Old Street Studios where she now works as one of the recording engineers and the main mixing engineer. [4]

Warne works primarily with a combination of 'in the box' mixing and analogue outboard, and analogue summing on a SSL Matrix 2 console. [15]

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. [16] Warne had begun her experimentation with songwriting whilst undergoing her studies at The BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology. [17]

In 2010, Warne began writing towards what would eventually become Kyros' debut album under the then name of Synaesthesia. In 2012, she 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, Warne 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. [18] 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 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. [17]

Once the recording of the album had finished, Warne began the process of completing the band line-up for future albums and live purposes. She welcomed second guitarist, Samuel Higgins whom she had also met through university, along with drummer, Robin Johnson via an online forum [19] and bassist, Peter Episcopo via recording engineer, Rob Aubrey, into the band with Warne 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. [20]

The band performed their debut concert at The Cultuurpodium Boerderij in Zoetermeer supporting IQ. [21]

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.

The band signed on White Star Records to release their third album, Celexa Dreams in June 2020.

Warne has stated a number of influences ranging from progressive rock staples to mainstream pop music producers as well as many notable acts such as Trevor Horn, Genesis, Phil Collins, Tony Banks, Muse, Matt Bellamy, Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, Neal Morse, Rush, Flying Colors, Mike Portnoy, IQ, Haken, Keane, Kevin Gilbert, Frost*, Transatlantic, Poppy, Cardiacs, Tim Smith, Savant/Aleksander Vinter, Simon Godfrey, Marillion, Chvrches, HAIM and Tears for Fears.
