ARTIST STATEMENT "I venture with the sound because there is freedom with the music, beyond the place and genre, my goal is of inspiring and drawing inspiration from originality with a vision and question, 'how was the scientific method assistive in not exploiting but documenting and expressing the abstract, with precise vision, but also the individual experience and the temporal moment?'...in essence, I'm guided by my culture and am doing my best to journal our story and our dream."

- A L Grady, Jazz, Pop, R&B, Reggae, Funk, House, Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Drum&Bass, Indie Electro, Ableton Live Remix Artist/Serato DJ/Freestyle Vocalist/MC/Live House PA AND Session Vocalist

My first live performance of A K A episode 3 for Swagger Thursdays @ the Loft

These folks did the damn thing:) I'm looking forward to saturday when i might perform the whole set live:)

It was th… Continue
