Dwele is a soul singer, songwriter and record producer from Detroit. He cites Stevie Wonder
, Donny Hathaway
, Roy Ayers
, Miles Davis
, and Freddie Hubbard
as favorite artists, and took inspiration from hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest
, becoming an MC, and working with Slum Village
when their world-renowned producer J Dilla
(RIP) invited him to sing the hook of the song "Tainted" for their album Trinity (Past, Present and Future).... It became an instant classic and led to more high profile work with female rapper Bahamadia,
the all-star group Lucy Pearl
and London's New Sector Movement
.
Dwele signed to Virgin Records in 2003, who released his debut album, Subject, which mixed neo soul and hip hop. In a 2005 review in The Independent, his style was summed up: "Dwele's rooted in vintage soul but isn't stuck in the past, overly reverential or an exercise in pastiche - there's a major hip-hop edge which betrays his original incarnation as a rapper." A second album, Some Kinda, followed in 2005.
In 2007 he was featured on the Kanye West hit "Flashing Lights" and later signed with RT Music Group and KOCH records in March, 2008 who released his fourth album titled, W.W.W. (W.ants. W.orld. W.omen) in June, 2010.
Doors open at 7pm, performance at 8:30pm!
