Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Fi5efuta Music Group
Is a sister company to Str8 Check N Records both being independent labels that are based in Aurora, CO right outside of Denver. With a couple of years in the making the sister company Str8 Check N has a total of 10 Rap/Hip Hop albums and can account for over 30,000 units sold.
With a new year here there has been a new agenda put into place. Without neglecting any of the current projects on the table. The label has a chance to explore the other side of music. For a long time the soulful sound of R&B has been around the camp. Weather on hooks/choruses or just laying the pallet under the verses. People have been listening to the harmonies and catchy writings of Dae Dai. Colorado's lone Bad boy of R&B and Soul. This album is titled, "Just Dae by Dai" and is graced with 16 banging tracks.
It shouldn't go un-noticed that,
Dae Dai is doing the damn thing on the jam band circuit. With a little more than 2 years under his belt. Dae Dai was the lead singer of a band called FJP. Short for Future Jazz Project. With the help of his song writing, a great voice and wonderful stage presence. Future Jazz Project was voted and won Colorado's 2004 & 2005 Westword Music Showcase best Jazz & Soul band. Early 2006 Dae Dai was offered a publishing deal to write for up-coming artist in the music industry with an undisclosed publisher out of L.A. Having a lot on his agenda he had to make a choice. That decision was a tuff one. So the relationship with the band FJP had to end.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
The city of Denver has seen so much of Dae Dai live. I always play downtown and around the city at several Jazz/R&B clubs. Appaloosa Bar & Grill is one of my favorite ones to perform at.
I love it when a couple is walking down the mall. They hear me singing a love song and they come into the place and they fall in love again.
Your musical influences
I love the sounds of Donnie Hathaway, Pebo Bryson, Richard Moore, Luther Vandrose just to name a few.
What equipment do you use?
I have a six piece band. Everything from a Bass player to a Organ player. Six pieces all together.
