If you are familiar with THE ISLEY BROTHERS, then you have heard the music of CHRIS JASPER, Lifetime Grammy Award Winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer who is in the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.

Jasper was primarily responsible for writing, arranging and producing all of THE ISLEY BROTHERS music during this time, including such beautiful love songs as “For The Love of You” and “Between the Sheets” and uptempo funk such as “Fight the Power.”

His arrangements and instrumentation as a classically-trained musician, and his expertise on the keyboards and synthesizers, are the foundation of the legendary “Isley Brothers Sound.”

When the six members of THE ISLEY BROTHERS disbanded (1984), Marvin and Ernie Isley joined CHRIS JASPER and formed ISLEY-JASPER-ISLEY.

Without this crucial musical component, THE ISLEY BROTHERS were no longer a self-produced, self-contained group.

CHRIS JASPER brought his “unique sound” and musical talents to ISLEY-JASPER-ISLEY, and topped the charts singing lead vocals on “Caravan of Love” (1985) an international #1 pop hit.

When ISLEY-JASPER-ISLEY disbanded (1987), CHRIS JASPER brought his “unique sound” to his own solo projects, topping the charts with “SuperBad,” a song promoting the value of education. CHRIS JASPER has continued to write songs and produce his own R&B and Gospel music, as well as other artists, for his independent record label, Gold City Records.

CHRIS JASPER’s music has been covered and sampled by hundreds of new and established recording artists, including Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Fantasia, Will Smith, Alliyah, Queen Latifah, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Natalie Cole, Jaheim, Kendrick Lamar, and the list goes on and on.

His music has also been used in many movie and television soundtracks.

In this episode, Chris sits in with various members of The EntreMusician Community, answering their questions and providing advice on Composition, Production and opinions of AI and streaming platforms.

Consisting of Brother George on piano, Geoff on bass and John O’Reilly Jr. on drums, The Hazelrigg Brothers is an instrumental trio that melds jazz, rock, and classical music to create an experience that is engaging, entertaining and eminently listenable.

Critically acclaimed for both their musical approach and their recording techniques, Hazelrigg Brothers is a genre-defying group that is not to be underestimated.

Equally gifted in designing and creating high quality solutions for modern recording, George & Geoff operate Hazelrigg Industries which has now expanded into producing the VLC plugin.

In this episode, their second on the EM podcast, the brothers discuss their unique approach to writing, recording and performing and why building high end equipment fortifies their approach to music as much as it does their sound.

A classically trained violinist who began playing jazzprofessionally as a teenager, Jerald Daemyon transcended the boundaries of musical genres when he embarked on a solo career.

His debut album, Thinking About You, released in 1995, incorporated rhythm and blues, soul, hip-hop,funk, and world beat into contemporary and traditional jazz and symphonic music.

Daemyon was considered to be an important influence in the transformation of the violin from an instrument used predominately for classical music to one that made significant impact in contemporary jazz and popular music.

Raised in Detroit, Michigan, Daemyon was stronglyinfluenced by his mother. "My mother taught me that I should never give up on myself, and that I should always believe in myself…," he told the Philadelphia Tribune in 1996. "She always told me to keep my eyes on the prize, and don't let anyone take away my dreams." Daemyon put her advice to use at an early age.

He began studying violin at the age of eight, in thefourth grade in Detroit public schools under Connie Miner. Soon he was spending his weekends in a music program at Wayne State University. At age 13 Daemyon began playing be-bop jazz professionally with saxophonist Donald Walden and the Detroit Jazz Orchestra. Later he formed his own jazz band.

Daemyon also continued his formal classical training with Dr. Morris Hochberg of Royal Oak, Michigan, former principal violinist of the Cleveland Orchestra and assistant concertmaster of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Daemyon attended theInternational Music Camp at Michigan's Interlochen School of Performing Arts. At the age of 16 he was awarded a State of Michigan Certificate of Outstanding Achievement. Daemyon also studied with the acclaimed concert violinist Peter Michalica and took master classes with perhaps the most famous violinist of all—Isaac Stern.

The EntreMusician's Metadata Specialist and Jazz Violinist, Darrell Looney talks with Jerald about his storied career and perspective on jazz and the classics.

After years of creating great music and working with some of R&B’s well known names like Kindred and the Family Soul, Vivian Green, Carol Riddick, Lady Alma and Jasmine Sullivan, producer/writer/performer Fred David Kenney, Jr. is taking center stage as Founder and Artistic Director of Plays On Word Theater, a state-side nonprofit missionary. Performing an arsenal of one-man (one God) Biblical plays illuminating God’s truth throughout scripture, Fred adds an original musical score to his plays that illustrates (the unfurling of) a clear, preordained direction in Fred’s life. As Podcast Host of Plays On Word Radio, the latest addition to the Plays On Word Theater resources, Fred takes an in-depth look at the Word of God, the Plays On Word community and the Plays he performs, that are based on the Word of God.

Born and raised on the New Jersey shore and the oldest of three boys, Fred Kenney, Jr. began cultivating that relationship with the Lord when he was just a little boy. And he’s been fine-tuning those God-given skills ever since. “It all started in about the fourth grade when my parents purchased a trumpet so I could play in the grammar school band. Later, my Pop single-handedly lugged in a broken down piano and my two brothers and I started playing that as well.”

Fred continued to hone his love for music and theater over his parent's garage down the Jersey Shore and on the stage of Manasquan High school, where Fred was named “Best Thespian”. Years of perfecting his craft led him to several personal and professional accomplishments including:

Kindred & the Family Soul - Musical Director

Black Lillie/ The Roots Showcase-NYC, Philadelphia - Associate Musical Director

Words & Sounds Showcase- Philadelphia - Musical Director

Vivian Green- A Love Story (certified Gold) “Fanatic" + "Keep On Going” - Lyricist, Producer

EntreMusician & Associate Professor of Voice at Berklee School of Music, Professor Linda Balliro interviews Zakiyyah Sutton, currently Season Partner for the 2022-2023 Boston Children's Chorus 20th Anniversary Season.

Zakiyyah is an artist-activist who utilizes music and visual media to explore themes that centralize marginalized communities via her production company, Black and Bold Productions. As an actress and classically-trained singer who is well-versed in Opera, Hip-Hop, Jazz, and R&B, she employs her extremely versatile skill-set to reach a broad range of audiences and craft a sound that is uniquely her own--including her most well-known, "Hip-Hopera". She’s had the pleasure of bringing these sounds to numerous audiences from the House of Blues to more recently, the United Nations. After graduating from Wellesley College with a degree in Political Science and Sociology, she worked in politics for City Councilor Tito Jackson and later Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins. During her time there she created D.A.S.H. (Defensive Aids in Situations of Help); a women’s self-defense program that travels throughout Boston and neighboring cities. She also serves as a trustee for the Free for All Concert Fund, an organization charged with providing the necessary funding to make classical music accessible to the masses. She shares this honor with former Massachusetts Governor Mike Dukakis, Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz, and other dignitaries.

After departing from politics, Zakiyyah still remained civically engaged, serving as an elected delegate at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. She then spent a year pursuing her artistic and scholastic ambitions in the Czech Republic, Thailand, South Africa, and Colombia, hosting Black Lives Matter events in the latter two countries and even recording with Grammy-nominated group Explosión Negra. She also has a commitment to education, having worked as an administrator at Conservatory Lab Charter School, offering private voice training via Harvard’s Holden Voice Program and the Hamilton Garrett Music and Arts Academy, and even creating an arts-activism program for teens in 2020 entitled “Creative Revolution”. In addition to her artistic practice, Zakiyyah currently works as a racial equity consultant with Arts Connect International, helping arts organizations reassess their practices through the lens of equity and creative justice. These experiences, coupled with her artistic versatility, make her uniquely qualified to use her art as a catalyst for social change. Her upcoming album, African Import, provides a window into both the beauty and complexity of the black diaspora, and the significance of its consumption by mainstream society.

Robbie grew up in an eclectic musical environment, listening to everything from Jazz, R&B, classical and gospel.

A self taught musician, he spent his early days living in Washington DC and began playing drums in church; later joining a local band where he also developed as a singer.

"Church training" became the launching pad to his first recording as "Robbie Mychals" on the Alpha International label out of Philadelphia, landing a few R&B Billboard chart placements, but that would only be his initiation into the music business.

Working with top artists, musicians, songwriters and engineers, like Bob Baldwin, Patti LaBelle and others, Robbie started Zoé Music Group as a vehicle to create his brand of “Life music,” which comprises a blend of Jazz, R&B and Gospel.

Robbie also switches hats using the pseudonym “JazzimatronX” as a vehicle for his instrumental side.

He spends his time composing, producing and recording with a variety of artists and writing for sync. In this episode, Robbie shares his heart on authenticity as an artist, which has solidified his foundation for decades.

Songwriter and Author Jon Landers actually got into the music industry coming from the lawn & garden and hardware industry.

He says" I was a manufacturer's representative selling and servicing The Home Depots and big box home centers from Maine to Virginia. In 1999 I went through a divorce from a 29 year marriage. In the three years following my divorce, my mom was diagnosed with colon cancer, my dad attempted suicide because of my mom's condition and my brother was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. This led me into a deep depression.

In 2001 I changed careers and purchased a graphic design business called Creative Desktop; closed on the purchase on 9/7/01 not knowing what was about to happen on 9/11. I changed the name of the business to Creative Group LLC as I felt the original name was already outdated and did what I could to keep it going despite the fact that I was still dealing with my depression.

One day I happened to walk into a Circuit City, saw a keyboard, hit the demo keys that played the theme to the James Bond Movies for which I was a big fan of and, by impulse, purchased the keyboard, labeled the keys and used the built in loops to compose my music and write lyrics to go with it. If I had not gone to this Circuit City to buy this keyboard, I know for a fact you would never have seen the start of TBAIMS.

TBAIMS stands for The Best Artist Indie Music Series. Their showcases are called Connecting Through Music. Jon's company provides consulting services to Indie Artist globally and assists in providing performances in their locales.

In this episode, John discussed his beginnings and his heart for connecting Artists to key Industry Contacts around the country.

Josh Ritchie is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Ontario. Having grown up in the Canadian music scene with a family of music teachers, performers and songwriters, Ritchie has had music in his soul since day one.

From the moment he was able to stand Ritchie has been playing anything he can get his hands on. His love for music quickly became an addiction giving the up and coming 23-year-old musical chops and an artistic maturity beyond his age. Then came the voice, quickly developing in choirs and music classes, now having a seemingly endless range and power. Ritchie can go from an intimate whisper to a boisterous roar with unequalled effect.

In early 2019 Ritchie took to the studio to record his debut, self produced record "Louder." The album was released to a sold out crowd on August 24th, 2019. The title track Louder was voted on the top 100 list in the 2020 CBC Music Searchlight competition. In the September of 2020 Ritchie was named as one of the Toronto Blues Society's finalists for their annual Talent Search competition where he finished 2nd place.

Ritchie released his second studio album "Love at the End of the World" on Sept. 30 2021, with two sold out shows at Heartwood Concert Hall in Owen Sound Ontario and at the legendary Lee's Palace in Toronto. The album has gone on to be featured on the likes of Cashbox Radio, Roots Music Canada and CBC.

Ava has 9 albums/EPs and over 30 singles.

Ava's music has been considered for several Grammy Awards, has won or been nominated for many other awards for her music and as a live performer since she began releasing music independently in 2009.

A native of Southern California, Ava Lemert was submerged in music from birth having a Mother and two elder sisters who were active musicians in the household to influence her. So, it was no surprise that by age 7, Ava was producing her own “radio programs” including her own DJ personna “Kay Kay Dee Jay” on her own cassette tape recorder

At age 11 Ava was writing music notation, and submitting her compositions for voice, clarinet (her first school-taught instrument) and guitar to youth talent shows. In High School, Ava would record her keyboard parts, alto saxophone, drum machine, guitar and vocals into her make-shift ping-pong recording system, consisting of a boom box, 4 track cassette recorder and radio shack microphone.

A unique lady of many talents, Ms. Lemert is not only an award-winning songwriter, she is a versatile vocalist, producer and multi- instrumentalist. However, Ava, when asked about her love for performing live shows states “When I bring out my tenor sax, I hear 'wow, do you play that thing?' all the time, because I'm just over 5 feet tall and I look like Lisa Simpson!” What also comes across about Ava is that she has a warm, vivacious personality that draws people in and makes the listener feel as if she is singing and or playing just for them, personally.

Ava provides excellent advice for perseverance in this industry, especially for Young Women EntreMusicians just starting out.

Jawanza Kobie would simply like to be known as a composer in the truest sense of the word. Ever since he was young boy he idolized the music of Beethoven, George Gershwin, Aaron Copeland and began learning to notate his compositions at nine years of age. Born and raised in West Philadelphia, he started taking piano lessons in his neighborhood at age six after his mother discovered that he could replicate on his own what his older brother had been taught in his piano lessons right after his brother had finished practicing.

As a teenager, he continued his education in music at the famed Settlement Music School in Philadelphia where he was first introduced to structure and the rules of composition.

He has written music for the “Freedom Theatre” (in Philadelphia), the ‘Elma Lewis School for the Arts’ (Boston) plays and musicals and toured briefly with their productions.

Jawanza would later enroll and earn a Bachelors degree in music majoring in composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston Mass. There he would front a jazz/funk thirty-piece big band playing his original compositions that bore his name. This band would perform concerts and play in theatre productions in the Boston area.

After Berklee, Jawanza played and toured with singer Billy Paul. Then taught music in the public schools, worked as an electrician and later management for 33 years in Mass transit. During this time he also did session work for artist on Warner Brothers, and Philadelphia International records. It was around this time jazz drummer and vocalist Grady Tate took an interest in his talent and became a mentor to him and would come to all his recording sessions while in New York City. Later, Jawanza was signed to Alpha International Records as a songwriter and producer where he would work with some of the top writers and producers in the area like Nick Martinelli. Always wanting to score for film and television, he ultimately got the opportunity to hone his skills on many independent projects in Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles. He has had music aired in various venues on PBS, as well as television and radio stations in Philadelphia and Chicago.

Jawanza was awarded a Jazz Residency at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia and is , performed at the Annenberg Center as well as a Teaching Artist and also Teaching Artist in Residence at the Mann Performing Arts Center in Philadelphia Pa. He brings an ensemble of musicians and story tellers into schools and other facilities introducing a young audience to jazz music and the instruments performing original music and story. He and is band currently perform in concert at festivals, and other venues. Writing strong memorable themes and melodies is this composer ultimate objective.

Jawanza discusses jazz and the history of soul music. He encourages EntreMusicians to reach deep within and write first for themselves, while maintaining the discipline of translating their art into commerce that survives the trends of the music industry.

Andrei Poliakov is a professional musician, composer and producer, who received a fundamental classical music education as a pianist and an oboist in Russia, continued with the professional musical career performing with world-renowned orchestras, later diversifying his musical taste and capacity into jazz, rock, and pop genres, performing and recording with various bands and solo.

Since 2012 Andrei has been living in Switzerland, Geneva, engaging into various professional activities both in artistic and business domains.

The foundation of Andrei’s works is a well-educated classical, romantic soundscapes, but as soon as the music begins, it starts looking for cross-over opportunities to develop into an exciting house-party, jazz, pop, or electronic music, all these easily transforming to warm classical follow-ups – hence the eclectic style which helps Andrei tell better stories without words.

Andrei treats a musical genre as an additional color for the compositions, like seasoning in food; these colors help him get across the emotions and tell the stories to the listener with better precision and stronger impact.

Andrei Poliakov works with a Dutch sound producer Wouter Kronenberg, who shares the same passion for the fusion New Age music and helps create a sound palette that echoes Andrei’s ideas and brings the essence of the musical message forward.

Andrei’s previous works include albums: “RefleXions” (released in March 2019), “Four Seasons” (released in March 2020), and the current live album "Moonlight & Sunshine", started on 14.07.2020 with the first singles "Declaration of Love", "Lullaby", and "La Promenade in Paris" - each piece featured in solo piano ("in the Moonlight") version and in arranged ("in the Sunshine") variation of the same melody.

This Episode marks our second conversation together, and Andrei dives deeper his passion for the essence of music as a composer, what he is expecting from others and providing sage advice to EntreMusicians who are afraid to place their passion above profits.

This Episode Kicks off a Brand New Series entitled “Abolishing Fear” and provides insight and encouragement into why EntreMusicians can not suffer any room for the demon of fear to take root within their spirit. Fear distracts, stifles, controls, overwhelms and paralyses the person from moving forward in his or her career.

“Don’t Be Afraid to Say Yes Or No” tackles the Heads & Tails of a common fear that can cause an EntreMusician to either lose out on some of the advantageous opportunities which would otherwise advance their careers, because they have allowed their fear for taking a risk or not properly appropriating their priorities to gain the upper hand in their decision making.

Using segments of my personal story, I share clarity and truth to help you navigate yours.

I recorded this episode in honor of my beautiful wife, Lori and on the 26th Anniversary of our marriage, April 8th. As we have celebrated and reminiscence our relationship, I gleaned Five Important Principles which directly apply to EntreMusicianship and can be employed immediately to improve our Mindset, Discipline and Focus. I share these principles transparently, with my heart toward your incredible success!

I Wrote the Song “Marriage” in 2010 to celebrate God’s Original Design. It was played masterfully by Keith McKelley (Sax = Husband), Ragan Whiteside (Flute = Wife) and Cliff Barnes (Piano =Holy Spirit).

The Video highlights many wonderful marriages of the present and memories of those who remained until death separated them.

This Episode Features Part Two of a Conversation with Iconic Songwriter/Producer, Chris Jasper, most known for his work with the legendary Isley Brothers.

Any serious list of highly influential keyboardists in the soul/pop/funk field would have to include the Isley Brothers' Chris Jasper. Jasper can be heard laying down adept acoustic piano, organ, funky clavinet, and Moog/Arp synthesizer lines on such seminal '70s hits as "Who's That Lady," "Fight the Power," "For the Love of You" (covered by Whitney Houston on her multi-platinum Whitney album), and "Who Loves You Better" over a catalog that includes 11 gold and four platinum albums.

In January 1992, Jasper, along with the rest of the Isley Brothers, was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. At an early age, Jasper began tickling the ivories. At age eight, his mother encouraged him to take piano lessons after she heard him play Motown tunes by ear. After high school, he went to study to study at Julliard. The Isley Brothers and Jasper grew up on the same block in their native Cincinnati. In 1959, the group scored their first big hit, "Shout," later covered by the Beatles, and moved to New York. More hits followed, including "Twist and Shout" and "This Ol' Heart of Mine" on Motown.

There has been a flood of Isley Brothers covers. The lion's share of which is done by rappers. Hip-hop has been good to Jasper's song catalog. Rapper/Sony artist Da Brat had a Top Five Billboard Hot 100 hit with "Funkadafied," which includes a sample from the Isleys' "Between the Sheets" (from the album of the same name). Ice Cube used "Footsteps in ihe Dark" (from Go for Your Guns) as the basis for his hit "It's been a Good Day." Hornman Gene Dunlap covered "Groove With You" (from Showdown). R. Kelly (whose productions carry Jasper-influenced lead line and patches) produced a hit cover of "At Your Best You Are Love" (from Harvest for the World) by singer Aaliyah.

This Episode Highlights an Engaging Conversation between Jere B and Classically Trained Pianist Andrei Poliakov who mixes Funk, Hip Hop, Dance and Other Genres into Classical Music.

Andrei Poliakov is a professional musician and composer who received a fundamental classical music education as a pianist in Russia, continued with the professional musical carrier performing with several world-renowned orchestras, later diversifying his musical taste and capacity into jazz, rock, and pop genres.

Hence, the usual basis for Andrei’s music is a well-educated classical, romantic soundscape, but as soon as the music begins, it starts looking for cross-over opportunities to develop into an exciting house-party, jazz, pop, or electronic music, all these easily transforming to warm classical follow-ups.
