Global Goon's Johnny Hawk is a former shepherd from Liverpool who earned a recording contract with Rephlex Records before moving to London and being Richard D. James' (aka Aphex Twin) roommate for a time. He had been making electronic music using soundedit 16 while supporting himself with various programming jobs. After moving into a shared house with James, he released his first untitled album (known as Goon) on Rephlex in 1995. Rumors that Goon actually was an alias for Aphex Twin persisted even after the release of Junior Glue nine years later.
