1.Growing Up
I grew up in the church. I was originally groomed for the gospel industry, and then later for the mainstream pop world, until ultimately I chose to be independent. I had hard times but remarkable learning experiences.
2. Inspirations
Prince, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Burt Bacharach, Sly & The Family Stone, Stevie Wonder, J Dilla, motown, disco, life, my soul, to name a few.
3. Your Crew
This is a hard question. I have affiliations with everything from the underground to the mainstream, hip hop to house. I have close associations with celebs that I don’t talk about. I like to think I’m an international member of many crews.
4. The Music You Make And Play
I make underground soul but produce in other genres. I don’t discriminate genres or tempos, so I can play anything. At my Australian shows, I’ll be playing music from my new sophomore album Live From The Other Side along with house and disco.
5. Music, Right Here, Right Now
With the recent passing of so many great musical legends the world is writing a new music history and I’m thankful to be a part of that.
