Hello!

I just posted this over in this thread (http://www.mjjcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76691) and I thought I'd also bring it over here:

There is a lot of amazing music out there right now - you just have to know where to look. (i.e. not the radio or mtv, haha).

I think you guys might enjoy this guy.
He draws a lot of inspiration from Al Green, Michael Jackson, Otis Redding, etc. but mixes that sound with "electronic" music (not what you normally think of as being "electronic music" though).

Billie-Jean homage anyone?

My favorite song of his. So soulful and AMAZING live.

Just funky as hell basically:

The first time I heard him I just assumed he was this soulful black man, but then I saw photos of him and turns out he is this suave skinny white english guy! But he's incredible. I saw him live and it was one of the best nights ever.

Anyway, I just wanted to share!

I like him, I was even going to see him live last summer but unfortunately something came up and I ended up selling my tickets...

My favourite song of his would be Multiply:

Aw, too bad you missed him.
Yes, Multiply is a great track.
