I am essentially a vocalist with an extensive range and can harmonize in both higher and lower octaves and can / do harmonize with/over my own vocals when recording. I have sung in many bands as well as in duo's and Trio's etc.. Bands like Man Friday, a 9 piece band in the 80's,.doing original material ( Afro-Latin, Reggae, R&B, Soul and Funk) and a band called Now and Zen as its lead singer for almost 10 years.One of the 3 singers in a band called 'In 2 Groove' and Heaps of smaller outfits, in the way of Duos and Trios. To my way of thinking, Vocals is what any band is and should be about !.. The band revolves around Vocals!
