About yourself
Once in a while an artist comes along whose voice reaches down so deep that you can't help but feel every note vibrate in your soul. Experience such a vocalist with the control of Luther Vandross, the energy and range of Prince and the sheer sensitivity and emotion of Michael Jackson (circa Off the Wall and Thriller). Growing up in Baltimore, MD listening to the sound of 70s R&B/soul music prepared JG for his inevitable love affair with music. The Commodores, the Spinners, Heatwave, Stevie Wonder, the Jacksons, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Dionne Warwick, Earth, Wind & Fire were all his initial mentors in song. Eventually, JG found himself in NYC, emerging to critical acclaim and an ever-widening fan-base. "I've been compared to many artists: Maxwell, Rahsaan Patterson, Luther, Michael, even Stevie. But that only makes me work harder at being different and developing my own signature style. Of course, I'm influenced by all of those artists, and you'll hear them nuanced throughout a song. But the voice, that's gotta be ALL ME. Just when you think you know where I'm going, I'm gonna go in a completely new direction." Never intent with one style, JG slinks between jazz, pop, R&B, rock, latin and even dance music. "I can't stick to one thing. I have too many ideas, too many influences, too many moods." If variety is the spice of life, then JG is cayenne pepper. Expect every note to set your soul on fire. What kind of music can you expect from a live JG performance? With songs like Hot Like Church, Red Eye, U Coulda Had Me, Until You, Sunshine, expect funked up R&B, jazzy latin blends and deep-wrenching, soulful ballads that will turn your heart inside out. "Ultimately, its all about love and thats what I write about. Love yearned for, love won, love lost, love that makes you want to act like a fool in public", says JG. And you'll see and feel it in every live performance he gives. "My first love has always been live performance. Me, a full live band or a jazz trio and an audience. It gives me the chance to bring something real, fresh and different every time. No song is ever performed the same way, but believe its gonna sizzle in a way that cant be captured on tape." If you've seen him at venues like The Shrine, Opia, Nells, The Triad Theatre, The Pyramid, the legendary CBGB's or even in that OK Cable commercial from a few years ago then you KNOW. Slow and steady wins the race. JG plans on filling up your airwaves and iPods with soul music for many years to come. So sit backor stand up, and let The Voice take over. R&B is back. email: deaconoffunk@yahoo.com
