The infamous dub-step musician Burial who was recently nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize, finally had revealed his real name. On August 5 he used his personal blog on MySpace to inform everybody that he is Will Bevan from the South London. Also, he had posted his photo for the first time. “I wanted to be unknown because I just want it to be all about the tunes. Over the last year the unknown thing became an issue so I’m no into it any more”, he wrote in the blog. At the same time he’d noticed that currently his mind is absolutely absorbed by work on the new album.
Burial (Will Bevan) became famous when he released the debut album in 2006. Due to certain personal reasons Will kept his identity secret by not making photographs and giving very few interviews. A pressure to reveal himself grew when his second album “Untrue” was nomited for the Mercury Prize two weeks ago. There was an idea or even rumours that the name Burial hides some famous musicians like Fatboy Slim or Aphex Twin. The Sun even began an investigation to open Burial’s secret.
The Mercury Prize winners shall become known in September.
