earlier in this post i said this:


by the way
the term neo soul was created by Kedar Massenburg the former manager of D'angelo and former prez of kedar/ motown .
this man signed me in 1995 after hearing baduism in its entireity minus the roots .
(i brought the roots on board after being given a budget.)
anyway this title NS was originally given to d and i to set us apart from music in REGULAR radio rotation since we were a little to the left of that time's sonic sound (1995).

keep in mind my music and d's music sound nothing alike .
Instead what we had in common was an exexcutive who had an ear for interesting underground talent.

neither d nor i had ever heard this term NS before, nor did we accept it as who or what we were.
THE NAME TOOK A LIFE OF ITS OWN.

im a theatrical soul singer with a mc background i sing soul music influenced by everthing.
d has a church backgroud with a heavy soul influence . i think hes a diamond who would just rather be coal.
