About Me

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/12/2007
Influences: 'Whats Going On', Probably the biggest musical influence from any album I have ever come across, An album that has drifted in and out of my life since I was a little young blood, and continues to inspire me as much now as it did at the time of its creation!! I was blessed recently with the privelage of working alongside Grammy nominee 'Jason Miles' at the first Casablanca Jazz festival when he asked me to perform my vocals on a rework of the 'Whats going on Album. The show concluded with an unrehearsed encore of 'Mercy Mercy Me'.. Man!!.. what a feeling that was.. Included in the line up was Maysa, Guida De Palma, Sherrod Barnes, DJ Logic and Christian Scott.............. I have to mention Stevie too!, yes, 'Inner visions', the work of a genius, songs that are forever. Other influences include, Take Six, Brian Mcknight, Donny Hathaway, Isley Brothers, The late Luther Van Dross, BeBe Winan and my very own protigee, Mark Menzies, my son, blessed with so much talent and good nature, I love you... I try to write with the same uncompromising passion of my past masters and hope to touch some people with my own musical contribution.....Steve Menzies.
