I never know what to say when it comes to talking about myself but for the sake of giving ya..ll a flavour of who I am here it goes. My name is Renell Shaw, I..m a multi-instrumentalist but to complete the sound of my band (Descendants of a Quest) I play bass; I compose and conduct as well as write music for film, theatre, bands and orchestras. Songwriting is the other half of what I do; I..m a poet and a Lyricist, . . . ..What..s the difference you ask.. . . . I write lyrics for you but I write poetry for me . . . My influences range from Quincy Jones to what I had for breakfast, (a bit to ambiguous?). . . Orphy Robinson, Benet Mclean, Cleaveland Watkiss, Yao Ado, Michael Antoniou, Samson Jatto, Carlos Jobim, Bobby McFerrin, Danny Elfman, John Williams, Faure, Bach, Stravinsky, Mozart, Wyclef Jean, Earth Wind and Fire, Take 6, Lauryn Hill, Guns ..n.. Roses, Common, Mos Def, Michael Jackson, Carlos Santana, S.R.V, Jimmy Hendrix, Winton Marsalis, Stevie Wonder, Dr Dre, Timbaland . . .I absorb anything musical and as a result my style ranges from eastern to western both musically and vocally (If there..s a style I can..t do just give me some C.D..s and a moth). I believe that education (or the lack of it) plays a big part in choosing the paths that young people go down, this is why I chose to work in education, I..M NOT A TEACHER! (Not that there..s anything wrong with being a teacher) But I do help others to see the possibilities that are out there for them.As a performer or composer I give no less than 100% every time, I don..t HAVE time for those who don..t have TIME for themselves. (Renell Shaw . . . in a few . . .words) Your results:You are The Flash The Flash
