This monster musical genius blends Rock, Gospel, Funk, Jazz, Pop, R&B, and many other styles together and adds a little spice of his own to produce his sound................... the O-ZONE sound.
I have everything I need. The only thing I would need is electricity.
Just electricity, I have everything else I need.
I provide all of the audio and sound equipment. I do not provide lighting as it is not needed.
Yes, I always play music between my sets if I play 4 hours or more. If I play 3 hours, I usually play it straight through.
The Long Beach Jazz festival in 2022 and 2023
I don't have a favorite type but the more people the better.
I have played all over the country and also in 3 other countries. Mexico, Canada and Jamaica.
I have been influenced by just about every artist on the scene in one way shape or form. Prince was and still is my favorite artist followed by John Legend.
My favorite song is called "Beautiful In My Eyes" by Joshua Kadison
I normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up and sound check. I normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. I am happy to play a bit longer or shorter but I’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best."
"I am happy to play outside but I ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area."
For the most part I have a set list but with advance notice I can add some fan favorites or special requests.
Pending the type of performance I do, I get a variety of different responses. Background music or a high energy concert with lots of crowd participation and interaction.
