Early life
Mitchell Thomas Laddie was born on September 24, 1990 in Shotley Bridge, County Durham and grew up in Ebchester, County Durham. He is of Irish descent. Influenced by his Grandfather's love of music and his parents' record collection, which heavily included Blues and Prog Rock, Laddie was drawn to music from an early age. Growing up in a house full of guitars, he became fascinated with the instrument and often picked up and played with his Father's Stratocaster. At the age of 5, he discovered Motown music and was later influenced by artists such as Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder.
After a sporting injury at the age of 13, Laddie was hospitalised for several months. It was during this time he began playing guitar seriously, influenced by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry and Dave Gilmour. Upon discovering Stevie Ray Vaughan his love of Blues music was rekindled, leading to heavy influence from Albert King, BB King, Walter Trout and Vaughan. He formed his first band, Vanilla Moon at the age of 14 with school friends. During his mid-teens, Laddie's influences began to expand into Jazz, Soul, Funk and Fusion, from artists such as Kenny Burrell, Miles Davis, James Brown, Prince, D'Angelo, Eric Johnson & Robben Ford.
