...With a combination of midnight soul, a hint of smooth R&B and velvet-laced vocals woven in harmony Deke Walker’s unique sound will seduce your senses by demanding your full-undivided attention.
22-year-old north Londoner Singer/Songwriter started his journey at the mere age 8 impersonating the likes of Michael Jackson and singing at his local gospel church, which highly motivated and influenced him to become his own artist. By his teenage years his musical talent began to mature which was ignited by artists such as Brian McKnight, Jodeci, H-Town and Ginuwine. This all lead to a discovery of writing poetry, which then transformed into song writing.
The music of his R&B forefathers-Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gay have not only influenced Deke, but have informed his music in a way that makes him a sure bet for the future of R&B/Soul music in the UK.• 13/04/08, Soul Lab @ The Tree House
