Tedashii Identity Crisis CD

Recording as MARCEL, he arrived on the scene in 1998 with his debut CD titled, The Diary of Marcel. His follow up release was Spice : The Alternative Hip-Hop Experience (2001), which helped him to establish a loyal independent following in Japan and Europe. With the releases of his third and fourth CD's Uptown : 2025 A.D. (2003) and Uptown : 2025 E.P. The Remixes (2004), he developed a true sense of artistry and a vision of being dedicated to his musicianship. These releases also gained him radio airplay on the "Upper Room with Joe Kelley," a radio station in Connecticut that was featured on pop icon PRINCE website, and gained him attention on MTV Germany. Uptown : 2025 A.D. was a self-awakening and now he is aware of who he is and where he's going! On "Secret Weapon Volumes 1 & 2," his fifth and final release recording as MARCEL, he displays funk in a way that makes you think of bands like Parliament/Funkadelic. "Secret Weapon Volumes 1 & 2" also gained him distribution, radio airplay, and exposure in Australia. "Supernova," his first cyber jazz release, is filled with elements of futuristic sounds combining funk and fusion while maintaining a sense of an R&B feel. Some of the new material on "Supernova" includes the title track "Supernova," "2704 Shane Drive," "Orbiting The Universe," "Starwalkin'," which features Timescape recording artist Jon O'Bergh on piano, and "Pearl," a tribute to Ajamu's grandmother. There are nine gems including an extended version of the title track. Every song was produced, arranged, composed, and performed by Ajamu Akinyele. Ajamu Akinyele states "I don't know where this new adventure is going to take me, but it sure feels right! Exploring is how we grow, never stop exploring. Experience Cyber Jazz!" ~Ajamu AkinyeleGemini Soul feat. Ajamu Akinyele Upcoming Shows:Sunday - May 10, 2009 @ 1 PMEON Coffee24970 Hesperian Blvd.
