"Wai"

Instruments: Vocals, Piano/Keyboards, Trumpet, Composition/Songwriting details
Been playing piano since I was 11, first studied classical, so there's quite a bit of classical in my style, technique, and proficiency. My piano influences range from Beethoven to Billy Joel. My voice is inspired from soul artists such as James Brown, Arethra Franklin, Etta James, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, all the old school stuff. I'm getting into songwriting and I like to incorporate a lot of my poetry into the music. I've also played jazz trumpet for two years.
