vibrant new chasm, brilliantly contrasting its predecessor in the process.

This record was a little different, explains the Houston, Texas native. I didnt want to mae the

same record twice. I wanted to mae a conscious effort to eep the vibe and the spirit of the first one

without it sounding the same. !onsidering his own rich musical "ourney, this sonic shifting

approach toBlack Radio 2seems to be a long time coming. #eared in a household where $otown,

#%&, and gospel were constant companions, his mother sang and played piano in church whileindulging in her love for "a'' and blues by performing at local clubs. &y the age of twelve, hed

begun to fully follow his mothers lead by playing piano in church and accompanying her on club

in those respective worlds. (uided by his mothers example, (lasper simultaneously performed "a''

while taing gigs as a touring musician and musical director for artists such as $axwell, yasiin bey,3Tip, and &ilal.

an artist in his own right. That same year, he released his debut albumMood on 5resh )ound
