I call my music Rhythm'n'Roll taking the name from the "rhythm" in rhythm and blues and the "roll" in rock'n'roll. Though Rhythm'n'Roll reflects my love of both R&B and Rock, each of my songs is often a mix of musical styles.
My musical styles range from rock-a-billy to crunk, so Rhythm'n'Roll serves as a popular musical history lesson for some and reminder to others, great for the whole family.
"Crunk Funk (Aw, Girl)" is the most urban contemporary sound of Rhythm'n'Roll. I rap about being rejected and underestimated by the object of my affections, but get my revenge in a "how do you like me now" manner. "Crunk Funk" is one of two rap songs.
The other rap song is the hip-hop / country / rock amalgamation "The Suburbs", about maintaining pride in my rural roots even though I now live just outside the big city.
I sing the remaining ten songs in a tenor voice that swoops high and reaches "Elvira" low notes on the modern country couch potato anthem "Happy Being Bored". Sometimes, what looks like a rut to others is exactly where you want to be.
Though my lead vocals are often laid back, the backing vocals, also all performed by me, are intense and add color and nuance to each song's message. Particularly unique are the odd interval backing vocals on "Vitamin U", the dance rock number that compares missing your significant other to a vitamin deficiency.
"Have To Love You" makes ef
