Chilling is a CD expressing some of my lifeās ups and downs, which iād like to take you on a journey through.
I left the plantations of Mississippi at thirteen years of age and headed up north on highway 49 to the bright lights and big city of Memphis Tennessee. I couldnāt believe my eyes looking out of the greyhound as we approached the city. I had never seen paved streets and street lights before. It felt like a different world. Inspired by the Memphis music scene, it didnāt take long before I began singing with my first gospel group āThe Marvellous Fiveā. However, singing the Blues and having some big ass fun finally came about in December of ā89 when I moved in with my uncle John Lee, the Boogieman himself. Surrounded by great musicians day in and day out I felt the need to start writing my own music to share my lifeās experiences with others. The songs Iāve got reasons and 90 days talk about a darker period of my life which ended with the packing of my blues shoes and embarking on a life changing move to France where I joined Carl Wyatt & the Delta Voodoo Kings to tour Europe.
