So many artists claim to be the 'next big thing', but very few up and coming artists offer the public anything original, new, or worth calling classic. MOJOE is the exception. In an industry filled with clones, MOJOE has created a sound that is unique and rare. Their music is jazzy and full of live instrumentation. Their lyrics are poetic yet worldly. Their delivery is sharp and confident. Their band is exceptional and their stage show is mind-blowing. Their dedication to expanding the boundaries of southern hip-hop and soul music is the type of ambition that legends are made of. MOJOE represents what hip-hop/soul will look like, sound like, and feel like for the next 20 years. Sure, that's a bold statement, considering the trendy nature of hip-hop and R&B these days, but MOJOE is on a mission to prove that good music doesn't only chart, it lives, and in the process attracts loyal and supportive fans. |

Michael Powers studied under composers Gil Evans and Sam Rivers, bassist Gary Peacock, pianist Art Lande, and trombonist Julian Priester. On stage, Michael has shared billings with piano giant Herbie Hancock, classic Jazz saxophonist Eddie "Clean Head" Vinson, the legendary Ray Charles, Afro-pop star King Sunny Ade, Grammy award-winning vocalist Diane Schuur, R&B greats Gladys Knight and the Pips and Atlantic Starr, contemporary Jazz artists Ronny Jordan, Tom Grant, David Benoit, the Yellowjackets, and the duo of Tuck & Patti.
"It's hard to categorize my music, although it usually ends up in the Jazz record bins," says Michael. "If I had to put a label on it, I would call it contemporary instrumental music. It's a sound rooted in the Jazz tradition that keeps pace stylistically with Pop, R&B, and Blues; with Blues being at the core of my inspiration." His powerful performances have regularly commanded standing ovations. |
