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.

Hey Mr Grant. Thanks for the kind words on "He's Alive". I really appreciate the feedback. There's certainly more to come from me. I really like your sound, man. I read in your bio where you said "my sound was either too "jazzy" or too avant-garde". Just do what you feel. You don't have to conform to what everybody else is doing. That's the attitude I've taken. I'm going to use my God-given talents and abilities to glorify Him and just be me, even if it means going "against the grain" of the industry. KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU FEEL! Maybe we can get a collab on in the near future.

What a gem, how did I miss this one! Man I love that panning keyboard, so saturated and smothered in jazz. I could listen to the keyboard by itself. Such a crisp, clear recording. I love the strings and the solo flute section as well, that was a nice addition. Did, I mention that I love the keyboard?
Whoa!!! What a cool intro...You know I love that Rhodes sound (nice panning and vibrato effects)...Smooth groove with warmth acoustic guitar work on top. NICE Arlen.
