My folks have played everything from rock, disco, pop, funk, and blues. My dad has always brought and played different genres like jazz, classical, and Latin. With all this in my pocket, I feel I have a taste of everything for my influences. ↗

I'm trying to change the root of funk, trying to make it more progressive, more melodic and more lyrically structured. ↗
