Cornflower - Sacred Vocal World Funk
About Me:
Cornflower's music emerges intuitively through an 'accapella scat' that is very familiar and tribalistic. He uses 'vocal-percussion' aka Beat-boxing that is not meant for spectacle but to serve as a foundation to his soaring melodies and atmospheric sound effects that bring a depth and richness to the sound wanting to be birthed. Last, but not least, he uses a Loop station that allows him to layer these many vocal-instrumentations into a symphony that if your eyes were closed, you wouldn't believe it was being created solely using his mouth.
Cornflower has collaborated and appeared with many artists, musicians & luminaries including: Bobby McFerrin, Victor Wooten, Kenny Loggins, Jeff Pevar, Chris Deckker, Wisdom, Dubconscious, Freebo, Scott Huckabay, Bohemian Soul, The Rogue Suspects, James Twyman, Elemental Harmonics, Phillip Daniel, Amy Steinberg, +Elijah- & the Band of Light, K.J. and Quetzatl.
Cornflower has studied with ten-time Grammy Winner, Bobby McFerrin and was a guest leader at the annual 12-hour Circlesinging event called Singing for your Life 2005 with members of SoVoSo.
Cornflower creates memorable musical grooves and inspirational mantras that lift you up while getting down!
