LaVelle
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
An accomplished musician and producer LaVelle has been playing acoustic piano since the age of 6. Always having a love for music (especially Herbie Hancock, Bob James and Joe Sample), he eventually decided to pursue his dream. Since it was difficult for a young Jazz musician to maintain a stable income, he began writing and arranging R&B. He's had success as a Producer working with the likes of Jam & Lewis, Stevie Wonder, and Mariah Carey. After a career like that...he says, "Now It's TIME!...to do the jazz album of a lifetime!!!"
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?

Bob James, Joe Sample, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, George Duke.
