Influences
incognito, stevie wonder, hall and oates, toto, journey, genesis, FM, brand new heavies and similar genres - mostly anything with a good groove and melody. Dont like indie and brit pop and done the heavy metal/rock scene many times in the past so not interested in that anymore. Soul, jazz, disco, funk, R&B, Pop, would be ideal, or a polished cabaret/tribute act. Would love to play with a brass section if available.
