Band Website: In progress...
Band Members: One man band... Yeah that's right I'm a vocal producer too!
Influences: A yo my biggest influence to this day in R&B is JODECI and my nigga DEVANTE'S production skills. JODECI let everybody know that you could sing emotionally about love without sounding like a punk. I am all about music that you can feel in your soul and that's what they brought to the R&B game. That's why the music I make is definitely gonna make you feel something!Another one of my biggest influences is the NEPTUNES. CHAD and PHARELL really do come with that off the wall heat. I especially love their N.E.R.D. album with SPY MOB as the band. That was one the most underrated albums of all time! The way they infused rock, jazz, hip-hop and R&B was incredible. Not too many producers can switch up their game like that. That's why to me they are the best at what they do.
On the gospel tip I am all about the TYE TRIBBET & G.A. His group inspires me musically in a way no one ever has... especially in Gospel. And their band (SOUNDCHECK) yo when they go forth they literally touch the sky! I haven't seen or heard anyone else perform the way they do. Absolutely incredible!!!As far as other live band stuff I am definitely influenced by MINT CONDITION. Being that I play Jazz/R&B soul piano I really love to hear live instrumentation. They might not be tearin' up soundscan or Billboard but these cats are on a whole 'notha level that can't be measured in record sales.FAVORITE ARTISTS/BANDS:
Michael Jackson, Prince, Steely Dan, Return to Forever, Sound Check(Parris u my nigga on them keys man), N.E.R.D., Shai, Silk, Blackstreet, Roger Troutman, Gwen Stefani, B.E.P., Sam Cooke, Clark Sisters, Tonex, 112... and on and on and on.FAVORTIE PRODUCERS:
Neptunes all the way and too many others to name!
