K-Gi has been writing for over 30 years.
He resides in Canada.
He has been encouraged and urged by friends and fellow musicians to
share his creations. Hence, a debut album!
'If It Were Not So...I Would Have Told You!' speaks to all music lovers
of various genres. A Journey from sandy beaches to salmon-filled rivers;
from uplifting parties to candle-light dinners. Love Ballads, jazzy Latin guitar instrumentals, classical themes, R&B and Rap, African dance and drum music, Pop, Rock and Reggae.
A diversity of genres is also reflected in K-Gi's lyrics, which paint
a wide array of different pictures.
From excursions in 'Paradise' to bouncy fun-filled party scenes, from social critical
issues to father-daughter relationships.
At present K-Gi is working on his second album, which will include
several Reggae and crossover songs.
He has recently written a Cumbia instrumental for a documentary about
travelling a long forgotten pole-post road in Mexico.
K-Gi also works with a well known dancer in France and provides
the music for her African Dance show and dance classes.
He feels that a good marriage between words and music (prosody) can if
only briefly, uplift the human spirit and give it wings to fly.
Yet, as important as music is to him, he envisions it as ‘just a slice
of bread on the table of life’.
Though somewhat of an introvert, K-Gi’s altruistic nature immediately
surfaces when engaged in lively discussions.
He asserts that no one will truly be safe, well-off and at peace until we ALL are!
He believes that we are all connected to each other whether we know it
or not; like it or not. In particular, he mentions how quickly we forget
where we have come from once we become successful; forget what it is like to
be hungry once we are full; or what it means to be cold while we are
warm. However, once we are loved we never forget. It is therefore
incumbent upon us all to do all that we can to spread love, peace, joy
and compassionand to contribute towards the reduction of tragedies and
sorrows globally.
It is K-Gi’s ambition that music will afford him the opportunity to make
a differenceno matter how small. Drop by drop is the bucket filled.
Though many are called, few are chosen.
“If it were not so he would have told you!”
K-Gi Kage
Lyrics
FANS AGAINST DOPING
INTRO
Wah Woogah Woogah, Woo Gah, Wah Woogah Woogah, Woo Gah,
Wah Woogah Woogah, Woo Gah, Wah Woogah, FANS AGAINST DOPING
1.
You are the champions worldwide your achievements span
You should only win by training – not with stuff out of a can
We are all your fans and we all speak and have a voice
We all want for you to win but by making the right choice.
2.
You cycle, you ski, you jump, you play, you run and swim
Everyone is telling you that all that matters is to win
Yet what may happen to your health and life, we have seen
Time for us to ask you for your sake, to stand up and stay clean.
CHORUS
Presence instead of boycott, a blue banana in our hand
Fans against doping – cheering all along the road we stand
3.
We don’t want to finger-point or speculate your name
But cheer proudly and to put your picture in a golden frame
Why not stand for fairness, sportsmanship and not just fame
A role model an example for all, not just for the game
4.
Your code of ethics is essential to our Youth
and your anti-doping stance will in the long run be the truth
Ordinary Fans and athletes just like you and me
Come and join us at FANS (dash)GEGEN(dash)DOPING dot D-E
CHORUS
Presence instead of boycott, a blue banana in our hand
Fans against doping – cheering all along the road we stand
BRIDGE
We hate so to see you when you fall from grace
Always wondering if you’ll ever be in the next race
Every allegation brings a cloud of doubt.
It is time, now’s the time, it is time, now’s the time to stomp it out.

1.
Ihr seid die Champions, Eure Leistungen reichen weltweit
Ihr solltet nur mit Training gewinnen – nicht mit Mittel aus einer Dose
Wir sind Eure Fans, Wir alle haben etwas zu sagen und haben eine Stimme
Wir alle wollen dass Ihr gewinnt, allerdings indem Ihr die richtige Wahl trefft.
2.
Ihr fahrt Fahrrad, Ihr fahrt Ski, Ihr Springt, Ihr Spielt,
Ihr lauft und schwimmt.
Jeder sagt Euch dass das einzige das zählt ist zu gewinnen.
Jedoch was vielleicht mit Eurer Gesundheit und Leben passiert, das haben wir gesehen.
Zeit für uns, Euch um Euretwillen zu fragen, dass Ihr Stellung bezieht und sauber bleibt.
CHORUS
Präsenz statt Boykott, mit einer blauen Banane in unserer Hand
FANS GEGEN DOPING – anfeuernd stehen wir alle entlang am Straßenrand.
3.
Wir möchten nicht den Finger erheben oder über Eure Namen spekulieren
sondern Euch stolz Anfeuern und Eure Bild in einen goldnen Ramen hängen.
Warum nicht ein Symbol für Fairness, Sportlichkeit und nicht nur Ruhm
Ein Vorbild und Beispiel für alle, nicht nur im Spiel
4.
Euer Ethischer Kodex ist notwendig für unser aller Jugend
und Eure Anti-Doping Haltung wird am Ende die Wahrheit sein
Einfache Fans und Athleten wie Du und Ich
Komm und mach mit bei FANS (Bindestrich)GEGEN(Bindestrich)DOPING punkt D-E
CHORUS
Präsenz statt Boykott, mit einer blauen Banane in unserer Hand
FANS GEGEN DOPING – anfeuernd stehen wir alle entlang am Straßenrand
BRIDGE
Wir hassen es so, wenn Ihr in Ungnade fallt.
Immer fragend, ob Ihr wohl beim nächsten Rennen dabei sein werdet.
Jede Verdächtigung bringt eine Wolke des Mißtrauens.
Es ist Zeit, jetzt ist die Zeit, Es ist Zeit, jetzt ist die Zeit der Ausrottung.
