When I saw this video a few weeks back when he posted it on Facebook, I didn't realize it was a Human League cover, until SUNDAY when I checked out Human League's... after I revisited an old NWF post: http://prince.org/msg/8/237744

He just came out of nowhere I say a year or two ago. He is a musical compser who specialises in '80's Funk' so to speak. He released a double album last year called "Toeachizown" wich is OUTSTANDING I should say. Influences defenitly include Rick James, Zapp and Prince.

He is currently producing Steve Arrington's next album and have been working with Jody Watley.

Not quite. You can see he came to the org to clear the air about a "top 5 essential funk lps" list that Dam compiled and I re-posted. It was sort of a rough introduction to "the ambassador of boogie funk". cool

I was a bit disappointed by his album.

His funk is a lot more spaced out than I prefer.

I still have a gang of respect 4 his vision and it would be fun 2 sit back and talk about music with the guy.

my favorite dam joint^^^

You're so glam, every time I see you I wanna slam!

Dude LOVES Prince lol You can hear it in his music

Although I gotta admit, his biggest pet peeve (the Prince/MJ comparison) is hella dated lol
