About Me |
|
Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer, known affectionately as "Mo Pleasure", began playing acoustic piano at the age of four and by his early teens, Mo mastered several instruments including bass, trumpet, guitar, drums and violin. Upon receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from University of Connecticut, Mo began his professional music career, playing bass with Ray Charles. He then began working as a session musician and backing various performers crossing Jazz and R&B, such as, George Duke, Natalie Cole, Dianne Reeves, Jonathan Butler, Rachelle Ferrell, Michael McDonald, Oleta Adams, Roberta Flack, Marcus Miller and Frankie Beverly and Maze, to name a few. From 1989 through 1992, Mo was both keyboardist and musical director with saxophonist Najee, pianist Alex Bugnon, and vocalists Philip Bailey, Patti Austin and Jon Lucien. In 1993, he became a member of the legendary group Earth, Wind & Fire, and the band's musical director in 1994. Mo was featured playing keyboards, trumpet and guitar with Janet Jackson's 2001 "All For You" tour and also playing keyboards and trumpet with Boney James' 2004 "Pure" tour. Mo's first offering as a solo artist is, Elements of Pleasure, which demonstrates his versatility as a multi-instrumentalist. The lyrical movement of the piano, the soulful sounds of the trumpet and flugelhorn and the funky rhythm of the bass are the elements that touch the heart, mind and soul. The music is a combined collaboration of instrumental funk and soulful vocals, reminiscent of his many musical influences. The CD features Philip Bailey on "Lover's Groove" and Michael McDonald, Oleta Adams and Peabo Bryson on "We Are One". Read more and Buy this great CD at PLGMEDIA.COM ! Mo with Janet Jackson...
