I've always been around music!!! It’s in my DNA. My family is full of singers, musicians, producers, and songwriters, and it was my destiny to be in music. My father and mother made sure that my siblings and I had a very healthy balance of different styles of music ranging from Gospel, Classical, Soul, R&B, Jazz, Funk and Neo-Soul(I got into Hip-Hop by hearing OutKast’s Jazzy Bells lol). After hearing Stevie Wonder’s Songs In The Key Of Life, my love for music grew into a marriage!!!! I started to play piano at 15, played the trombone from middle school thru high school, and has sung in choirs at church and background work. I’m with the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD, Be On It. I'm a keyboardist, producer, arranger, and composer. I’ve had the honor and privilege to work and share the stage with some awesome artists such as PJ Morton, Jeremih, Chantae Cann, Bashiri Asad, Kenny Garmon, L. LeBron Wilson, Demetrius West, Le’Andria Johnson, and Phil Carroll. I’ve also been honored to open up for Moonchild, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Jonathan Nelson, and Fred Hammond. Some of my favorite artists that are my biggest inspirations and influences are Stevie Wonder, Robert Glasper, Daniel Moore II, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Earth Wind and Fire, Mint Condition, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Tye Tribbett, Donald Lawrence, D’Angelo, Cory Henry, OutKast, The Beatles, Kevin Bond, Jesse Thompson, The Doobie Brothers, Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, John Legend amongst countless others.

Bashiri Asad, a soul & jazz singer/songwriter, is our special guest in this week's podcast episode. Bashiri, who has released seven albums independently, discusses how 11 years ago he jumped into a full time career in music without a plan but with much heart and passion. He explains how with his wife's recommendation and strong support, he took a leap of faith only to find quickly the many hardships and challenges of being an independent artist; however, the silver lining was the significant amount of growth, lessons and new skills he gained as a result of learning from mistakes. Our conversation explores the importance of artists marketing themselves, building "super fans", remaining consistent and authentic plus many more gems. Through Bashiri's honesty and transparency, listeners will gain important information about building a brand, remaining true to your art form and being motivated to stay the course even when confronted with significant challenges.

… and so we kick over into a new year, 2015. I keep a black moleskin with all of my various projects, initiatives, goals, and hair-brained schemes in it. I'd say we got through quite a few last year, from a revamped website to some new equipment, and finally to building a makeshift stage and video studio down in the secret underground bunker we call "Indy In-Tune Studio B." This year, the goals are fewer, and possibly less-ambitious. Put simply, my goal this year is to be as busy as humanly possile. Specifically, I want to be at 250 podcasts, 50 mini concerts, and as much archived on-air fun as I can accumulate under the belt by this time next year. Why? Because it has not escape my attention that after 9 years, I should be coming up on episode #450, and in the past two years that veritable conucopia of weelkly shows that have popped up (Free Beer Express, Brother Brother, Chris Brake Show, DoIt Indy, et al.), and some of them are already approaching their 100th episode. That part of my brain that's ruled by numbers tells me that this is unacceptable. I am the longest-standing podcaster in Central Indiana, I should have an episode count that inspires awe. So if anything, as I've always said, I love the fact that shows like those come along, since they make me step up my game. 2015 kicks off with our third visit from the great Bashiri Asad, this time in support of his brand new release, "Bashiri Asad Presents the Gil Suite: A Toast to Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson." This is an amazing album he has put together as part of his "Year of Tributes" (more on that during the interview) and features some top-notch talent from around our scene including, but not limited to, Brandon Meeks, Devon Ashley, Justin Brewer, Rob Dixon, Nick Gerlach, Max Allen, Phil Geyer, and Ashton Kleeman. He joined us in the studio with guitarist John Fell where he gave an impromptu acoustic set of numbers spaning all of his releases. How's that for kicking the year off with a bang? Links referenced in the show: Bashiri Asad can be found here: | | The first three tracks were recorded live on the air in the studio and are presented in their original raw format, just they way they aired -- mostly because I'm not a producer.  Bashiri is accompanied by on guitar for these tracks.  Apologies for the webcam blips, beer bottle clanks, and awe-inspired whispering in the background.

Let this be a lesson to all of my musician friends, and anybody who asks me for an opinion about music.  I am mostly-incapable of doing reviews, critiques, or criticisms of music.  I wish I could, but in case you haven't noticed by now, I love music and cant for the of me offer a negative opinion about anybody's songs, or say anything disparaging about anybody that puts their heart and soul into a composition -- therefore I wouldn't begin to call anything I write a "review."  Now, I am perfectly capable of offering a deconstructive or comparative analysis of your music (have to do something with all those music theory and appreciation courses I took in college), or I can give you a nice promotional write up in the blog (courtesy of five years working for a marketing company), but that's about all the credibility you're going to get from me.  I don't pretend to be a critic, or an expert of any kind on this show.  I aspire to be nothing more than a geeky fanboy with a microphone and very amateur production values who obsesses over local, independent music.  Case in point, my old friend, Bashiri Asad  emailed me a couple of weeks ago and asked if I would do a review of his new album (which I had already heard and loved, by the way).  Of course I told him I'd write up a nice blog post to promote it, but wouldn't it be much more fun if we got together for drinks, played some tracks, and talked about it for an hour or so?  Thankfully, he agreed. You'll probably remember Bashiri from Show #065, when I referred to him as an up-and-coming talent in the local scene.  Since then he's cut two albums, broken out regionally, toured the east coast, and played with some big names in the hip hop, soul, and R&B circles ... so for once I was right.  While the Heart Spoken project we promoted on that show was more of a hip hop/soul hybrid, his latest album, I am One, is more of the classic crooner meets modern sounds variety.  Six simple tracks (plus a bonus tune) do a great job of showcasing the diversity in both his voice and composition, going a long way towards explaining why he has no trouble recruiting some of the best talent in the business to back him up.  Whether you're catching him in a jazzier setting with Xenobia Green, in a studio setting doing something a bit more contemporary or electronic, or branching out by incororating a little spoken word or hip hop in his songs, you're sure to hear a treat from this unique talent. Links referenced in the show:  Bashiri Asad can be found here: | | | .  He was last heard on back in 2009  He currently has a residency at the on the last Wednesday of the month, where he and his promotions and managment outfit and host a showcase that has, in the past, featured such artists as , , , , , and others.

​Marion Lombardi and I are really onto something special. Each day we communicate and talk about the multitude of talent we have come across. Sometimes, we run out of time because the music has given way to new ideas and of course, more "work" to do. LOL How about this for discovering new talent? Check out the sounds of Bashiri Asad. Bashiri is currently working on his debut LP which will drop in July 2010. He was kind enough to send us a few tracks and we are going to honor his music by sharing "Beautiful You" with the world today. Do us a favor and reach out to him online. You can find our more about the man and his gift by reading the interview on Marion's blog titled "The Wonderful World of Carminelitta".  If this track finds you wanting more, then spoil yourself with some Hip-Hop Soul featuring Bashiri and Pariah da Poetic on Soundclick.  We are going to continue to spoil you with wonderful music and passionate writings. Thanks for reading, downloading, and sharing our vibes. Together, we are all ONE.DJ Come of Age@djcomeofageMarion Lombardi@carminelitta

Obviously, the main goal of what we do here is to expose artists (particularly up-and-coming ones) to a broader audience. Secondary to that, however, is the idea of introducing audiences to styles of music that they may not be overly familiar with. Granted the majority of our guests are rock bands or singer/songwriters -- just by the nature of their prominence around the city -- but, once in a while, we get the chance to diverge into the realms of jazz, R&B, and in the case of this week's guest, soul. Now, of course we're all familiar with at least the core of soul music, however I was shocked to find, when doing a bit of research of the interview, there are no less than a dozen different varieties of soul music. The more modern forms, particularly those that incorporate contemporary influences like hip hop, are not something I was familiar with all. I've mentioned several times before, as a middle-aged white suburban male, I don't listen to much hip hop, beyond the mainstream stuff, since much of it doesn't speak to me personally. I suspect many of you out there are in a similar position. I think we all, however, have a great respect for "good music" played by "great players," and there are obviously many examples of the genre that I do appreciate, particularly those that address universal themes and emotions -- the way Bashiri Asad's does. Like most forms of music, soul has absorbed elements of many different styles over the decades: funk, jazz, and most recently hip hop. Bashiri skillfully embraces all of these influences, occasionally mixing them; other times keeping them separated. The core of his music, and the element that really helped me to identify with him, however, was what he offhandedly termed, "music that is pleasing to the soul." Sure, I enjoy rocking out with a good metal band, or quietly studying a jazz or classical piece, but there was something very fulfilling about just kicking back with a couple glasses of wine that night and just letting Bashiri's voice (and the work of some of Indy's finest players) wash over me. I suggest all of you get out and experience this as well. Links referenced in the show: Bashiri Asad can be found here: | | | . His "Heart Spoken" project (where all of tonight's tracks are taken) was produced by who also acts as MC on the album.

His band, Xenobia Green, has an EP coming out soon and combines musicians from many fine local bands. Bass player Brandon Meeks is also known for fronting his own Drummer , plays with many great artists around town. Most significantly to listeners of Indy In-Tune, he is the drummer for former guests Finer (). Guitarist Pancho Benton has played with many of the great artists from (among others). Chicago-born keyboardist is known throughout the gospel, R&B, and jazz circles in Indy. Reggie Bishop is one of the great treasures in Indianapolis' jazz, hip hop, R&B, and electronica circles, where he is a sought-after producer and keyboard player. He occasionally sits in with Xenobia Green, including the night this interview was recorded. Bashiri counts the in Lousivlle, KY as his favorite venue to play thus far. Bashiri has also worked with and Fighting Words Poetry ( | ), who (among other places) can be found regularly at at 38th and Central. He is also worked on a musical called "The Birth of Soul" with .
