This is an artist I feel compelled to offer out for you to hear. You would be doing yourself a disservice not to give him a listen. Gary is a guy I can say I’m lucky enough to have worked with and has approached his music career with a worldly approach instead of painting himself as guy from Pittsburgh, looking to take on the world. You’ll be able to see some of this from his video, Gary has made a point to travel the world, take in the cultures from everywhere he’s been, use it as inspiration and make it a part of his music. The music he incorporates has jazz and blues roots from the old speakeasy/jazz/big band club days but also expands itself into and past the realms of experimental and dubstep beats and sounds. Hip hop and rap artist may eventually venture into this world encased, cultured vibe, but doesn’t often start from the ground up like that. So often the stigma is from the street to the world and not the other way around. This is a breath of fresh air to me for this genre. Proud to say this was created by a friend of mine.
