A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible!
Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song.
Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart.
The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

The acoustic guitar work here is stunning Arlen, I mean really stunning. The groove is smooth, so delectable. Love your synth lines in the track. Indeed a lot sweet musical bits creating a wonderful soundscape for the lead. The entire track flows so well as each instrument and elements blends seamlessly to create something wonderful. 10+ stars Mr. Grant.
Very cool listening to your 'fretwork' on keys that can be a bit tricky on a guitar.Some of the runs you take can't be done on a guitar.. Very autentic sounding. Killer backer/groove! Nice work my friend!
