This was us, back in 2001! When Roland and I met in 1998, we collaborated on a studio R&B project together, but were getting nowhere fast. It was actually 9/11 that changed the way we lived our lives, and how we made music...
After that tragic event, Roland and I walked around in a daze, like everybody. The only way we knew how to cope with our grief, anger and frustration, was to make music.
Roland grabbed a guitar that had been gathering dust in the corner of the living room (despite being a multi-instrumentalist, it was the only instrument he'd never played before). We wrote and recorded this song the very next day...
"Don't Let People Walk Away"
It's been exactly ten years, and we've been through some serious highs and lows since then. I remember how good it felt, that we found a way to communicate through heart and soul, which has always been our goal as musicians, and as a family.
Rediscovering our musical past has been a journey back in time - I've been reminiscing about the people we touched, the awesome venues and tours we played and, of course, the music we made.
We've come a long way, and our musical past is very much a part of who we are now - I can't wait for you to hear it.
