THIS IS THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE
I am a vocalist, writer, composer, guitarist, percussionist, producer, touring musician, recording artist and owner of Easy Bake Records. Dropped my first CD in Florida state in '96 during the Honeyspot days. Toured my Northwest vibe all over the globe - Europe, Australia, down South, out East - always up for an international concert. Dropped indie discs and mixtapes all the way, and my new album "Global Baby" is available in the US and will be released in Canada in October 2007.

GreenTaRA acoustic show in Seattle

Influences: Funk - James Brown, George Clinton / Reggae & Calypso - Bob Marley & the Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, the Mighty Sparrow / Jazz - Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Nat King Cole / Soul - Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye / Hip Hop - Grandmaster Flash, KRS, Arrested Development / All the greats!

Sounds Like: Good music - Timeless flows in the vein of Arrested Development meets Jamiroquoi for a double date with Jill Scott & N'Dea Davenport of the Brand New Heavies, then throw in some Phoebe Snow, Joan Armatrading and Four Non-Blondes for good measure (so they say).
Record Label: Easy Bake Records / GreenTaRA Music
