Why this name?
The name Brainstorm Entertainment comes from actually sitting down brainstorming tracks, writing songs , and developing the aritsts. Once a brainstorm is complete you have a well put together finished product. And when lighting strikes my brain the perfect storm comes and changes people's mind in a way never thought possible. And thats how Brainstorm was developed.
Do you play live?
I do play live keyboards and drums "a lil bit" lol. I play for my home church Prayer Garden C.O.G.I.C in (Flint,MI). One of my most memorable moments was when I was playing for the church service and the whole church went in an uporar and started praising nad worshipping God.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has made a great advance on the music industry o the point where now we don't have to use he Post Office or the mail man as much to gete teh things done with music and paperwork as we used to have to do. Plus nstead of waiting days it has turned into minutes with email.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I believe we would be willing to do a distribution deal with a major label. Yes.
Your influences?
Well a vast variety of music influences Brainstorm. Music from everywhere from classical to R&B to jazz to rock, to hip hop to gospel. Some names that really stick out to me are The Clark Sisters, The Winans, and Commissioned, they are the pioneers to me. Kim Burrell, Dave Hollister, Joe, John Legend, Rodney Jerkins, R. Kelly. Warren Campbell, PAJAM family, Kelly Price, Destiny's Child, my cousins Kameela Williams (formerly of 702) & SISTERS (formerly known as the Jackson Sisters) to name a few.
Favorite spot?
My favorite city is Atlana, GA and my favorite spot is in my studio, Thats like my safe haven to escape the rest of the world and enter into the world of MUSIC!!
Equipment used:
I use Pro Tools M-Powered, Triton Rack, MOTIF, Planet Phat, REASON, Fruity Loops, Roland XP50, Yamaha S80, and an MPC2000. With the high quality MACKIE high powered Studio Monitors running on a MACOSX Tiger.
Anything else...?
I just wanna say thanks to all the supporters who have watched inspired and helped Brainstorm develop and mature into the entity it has become today but still the best is yet to come. Gotta go cop that "SImply Cherry" CD now available at your nearest Best Buy, Circuit City, FYE, Sam Goody's, Tower Records, and Target. Also you may order online at amazon.com or cdbaby.com as well.
