J-Funk - Meant to Be OUT NOW!

Dear friends I need to start off by making a sincere apology. It was my intention to always keep you regularly updated about what’s happening with the release of the new album. Unfortunately there have been complications and delays, but I can assure you that it’s coming! I can happily inform you that 11 tracks are recorded, mixed, mastered and ready to go! The first single will be revealed very soon – but we would like your help in deciding! READ MORE.

The main news for Feb is that we have had to postpone the gig planned for 26 February. Unfortunately, there were a few issues with the gig's promotors, so the best solution for everyone was to postpone the show - we are looking at a new date in April or May. On the upside, I am almost certain that the new album "Meant To Be" will be ready for the gig. It also gives myself & my brilliant musicians more time to prepare for the big show! In the meantime, please check out my latest blog entry by clicking on the "J-Blog" tab to find out where the album is at. READ MORE

Hello friends! Thanks for your support in 2009, and thanks especially for your patience in hanging out for the new album! It is well on the way to being finished - we will hopefully be ready to release in March at the very latest. I can also tell you that the title of the album will be "Meant To Be", with the 1st single to be released shortly before the release of the album. READ MORE

You may remember the title track from my album "Breakthru" being featured on the "Soul Unsigned Volume 2" compilation album - this album was created by the excellent DJ & founder of Soul Unsigned Records, Mr Phil Driver. Phil has been recently interviewed by DJ Soulswede on "soulinterviews.com" website/station, where he reveals some background about his label & his compilation releases. And I am very grateful in the fact that "Breakthru" has been selected as one of the tracks to feature in Phil's interview - a noteworthy selection considering the amount of music that Phil receives on a regular basis. So please have a listen, you can find it at http://www.soulinterviews.com Right now Phil's interview is on the home page, so you can simply click the direct link, or you can click on the "Interviews Archive" tab - you will also find it there. You will here "Breakthru" played at about 17min into the interview!! Enjoy! Thanks for your support. J

These guys interviewed me at The Bullet Bar, Camden Town. Check out some great footage of J-FUNK's performance on this night right here below! 

You might remember from last year when J-FUNK received some radio airplay on DJ Phil Driver's "Soul Unsigned" show in Sweden, Teneriffe, New York and London. Soul Unsigned also runs its own record label, and they have just released their 2nd "Soul Unsigned" compilation album, featuring a number of great artists. J-FUNK's track "Breakthru" has been selected to feature on this fantastic compilation of excellent songs. The album is available for purchase from CD Baby - please click on the CD cover below! Also check out the J-Press section to read some great reviews from various critics around the world...

Well 2008 was quite a year. First and foremost, I'd like to sincerely and gratefully thank you all for your support in 2008 - albums were sold, new fans jumped on board. But I think the most pleasing aspect was being able to perform live for you, with my fantastic band - whom I'd also like to thank sincerely. We had great shows at The Watershed, Babalou, The Old Explorer (Sunshine Party!), The Pigalle Club & The Bullet Bar. We certainly came a long way from solo gigs in 2007, to a 9 piece live band in 2008!! There will be more live shows in the 2nd half of 2009 - looking forward to seeing you all then!! Once again - THANK YOU. Peace & blessings to you all.
