"Funk is the name of my musical game. As of late, it's been a nice little combo of Earth, Wind and Fire, the Brothers Johnson, Al Green, James Brown, Bill Withers and Gil Scott-Heron. For me, there is no other genre that can take me from zero to 60 in no time flat. The tight, on-point horn licks and grooves are so inspiring to my soul that, in my opinion, the only way to start the day off right is with some funk-soul. I guess that's why one of my favorite current bands would have to be Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band out of Asheville, North Carolina. They do the funk up right."
