Paul David (Guitar, Vocals, Keyboard)

Paul has been studying and performing live music in Toronto Canada for over 15 years. He plays a variety of instruments in a variety of different styles: Guitar, Drums/Percussion, Vocals & Piano.
 
Latin, Jazz, R&B & Reggae are the four primary genres he performs in. Paul’s primary instrument is the guitar. His approach to his ‘pick & fingers combination technique’ allows his instrument to comp voicings like a Piano and connect chords like the Bass (as well as draw out interesting rhythmic melodies). He plays and scats his high and low speed lines simultaneously, and especially enjoys amalgomating the inflections of other instruments via the guitar such as: Sax, Drums, Keyboard pitch-wheel, Slap Bass & Violin.
 
Paul's approach to singing originally comes from a heavy Jazz, Latin & Fusion influence. His note-choice originates from an melodic approach to Jazz & Fusion. However, his rhythmic 'feel' comes from the world of Latin & R&B.  
 
Paul is a lyricist and composes his own work. His music is organized in almost every musical genre. He enjoys blending these genres on stage at any unrehearsed moment. He enjoys developing every aspect of live performance and production. From facilitating rehearsals & live performances with fellow musicians, to entertaining and hosting onstage for audiences in any formal or informal setting.

Gerald  ( Bass)

G’s ‘Feel’ is like no other. Armed with an ear like Navy Sonar, he instantly navigates through every piece, enhancing every moment, whenever he picks up his instrument. Combining chords and rhythms along with his lines, G transforms any song into a work of audio-art.

 
 

 

 

 

           

Raffaelle Stanghi (Supporting Drums, Backing Vocals, Percussion)

Raffaelle has been a student of percussion all of his life.  Now an accomplished instructor, this Humber College-Trained practitioner has been grooving for more than 12 years.  His attention to technique intertwined with a natural sense of stable rhythm has made him the dynamic and confident drummer he is today. 

Raff's main influences come from Jazz and Latin.  However, his level of sophistication diversifies from as high as African Rhythms in odd time-signatures, to the grooving and 'jump-up' simplicities of Funk and Soca.

 

 

      

Tom McGill (Keyboard)

Tom began the keys at the early age of 5 from the cookie lady next door. Initially honing his craft in the classics, Tom has branched out into the R&B, Reggae, Jazz and rock genres. Recently he was transplanted to Toronto from Ottawa where he enjoyed playing  with bands such as Street Level, the Black and Blues Brother with Roddy Elias,  and Tommy & the Flippin Photons starring the fabulous Bill Pulcine   ... still can't get enough the music never stops.
