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.

Hi Mr Grant, how have you been?
This is a beautiful composition. I agree with a lot of people who have commented about this track, you have a brilliant signature sound to your music, which is very unique (great job).
I just personally like the whole "feel good" vibe to it! The guitar and bass stand out of course. You're very skilled my friend.
I've just finally released my album "Make a wish" FREE download so if you get a spare second, you might like it.
Thanks for your time and well done with this amazing track. Take care

Nice groove here again Arlen... I agree with what Phigroa says about this embodying your signature style. I could have picked this out listening to a random radio station in Iceland. Flawless mix and sweet bass lines at 1:17 and a funky lead synth. Lovin' it!

Funky… melodic… acoustic guitar lead with attitude and style that has come to symbolize the wonderful smooth jazz music compositions from an exceptional composer. You never fail to impress!

Nice and tight with cool vocooder-like synth-theme.
A happy and uplifting spring-tune!
