I am an original artist with substance. I play guitar, piano, bass, drums, and produce music. I like jazz and the freedom that jazz brings to the table. I don't have a specific gender of music I cater towards and I do a little bit of them all. But, I defintely prefer live over studio music. But, I enjoy new technology of computer music simply because it has evolved and you can now produce great music at home with ease. My jazz is 60's style cool jazz that is easy to swallow in today;s market. I hope you like it!
Why this name?
My friend and partner calls me big Lu
Do you play live?
I am building my whole vibe on live performances. Right now,I'm doing alot of sampling over live stuff.I know you have to evolve with technology.Hard disk is the tremendous advantage for the modern day Producer.Tracks can be produced, like 10 a day and everything is kosher.
Even on a live set a hot sample can make the difference in a performance.
