Luther Vandross, Roberta Flack, Stevie Wonder, Nancy Wilson, Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, Carmen McCray and several of the classic singers.

What do you want fans to take from your music?

I want them to come away entertained and more informed about the roots of Rock and Roll and its origin in Rhythm and Blues.

How’s the music scene in your locale?

The music scene in Las Vegas is not like it used to be in old Vegas. However the Las Vegas Strip has lots of mainstream artist performing and keeping it live.

What is the best concert you have been to? What do you like most about playing live?

One of the best concerts I have attended was a Gladys Knight concert. She sang a lot of her classic hits, brought back a lot of memories and created a warm and loving atmosphere. The packed crowd loved her and I will always have the memory of the joy she created in the room. This is what I love about playing live, the ability to touch people and uplift the soul. Being in touch with the human spirit is so fulfilling and inspires my creativity.

Is there a song on your latest CD release here that stands out as your personal favorite, and why?

On my newest CD Soul of Rock n Roll, KEEP BELIEVING , is my favorite also because of the message. But I also love Thankful because of the message. Get Smooth, the dance number is another favorite.

How have you evolved as an artist over the last year?

I’ve become a better writer, singer, and more humble as a result.

If you could meet, play a gig, co-write a song, have dinner, have a drink with any band or artist (dead or alive) who would it be?

I would have to have a round table of guests with so many great artist. Artist like Luther Vandross, Charlie Wilson, Barry White, Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, would make a great performance Royster.
