When it really comes down to it, I'm just a fan of the music we all love. This love for music made me give up a well-paid job to dedicate my time end energy to the enhancement of Soul music. Since I never had the patience and skills to learn how to play an instrument properly, I became a DJ, and later in life, a producer, agent, promoter and artist manager. I made it my mission to finally bring many forgotten Funk and Soul legends back into the spotlight so they can get the respect they deserve (and I get to see them perform as much as I want. We all have our own agenda, don't we?). To accomplish this, I have founded my Soulpower organisation (www.soulpower.info) in 2004. But in the more than 15 years I have spent in the business, I have worked or DJed with artists like James Brown, Marva Whitney, Lyn Collins, Bobby Byrd, Mandrill, Vicki Anderson, War, RAMP, Roy Ayers, Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley, Sweet Charles Sherrell, Pee Wee Ellis, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Ann Sexton, Martha High, the Soul Generals, Maceo Parker and many more. I am currently managing James Brown's Soulsister Number One, Marva Whitney, and I am working with the Japanese Funk group Osaka Monaurail. I have also DJed pretty much all over the world, in more than 50 cities in 25 countries, mostly Europe, the United States, Japan and Hong Kong. I constantly travel to do my thing. Bottom line, I'm a Funknut, and you better believe it!
