The World According to FUNKGHOST

Alot of people dont know this but, In the early 1990's Edwin Birdsong served as one of my first mentors in the studio.I was able to soak music production and song composition. It's funny cause at the time Edwin's star had long since faded in the industry and I really didn't fully appreciate the jewels bieng dropped on me until i got much older. I knew he had collaborated wth Roy Ayers and was a bit awe struck at the time especially finding out he wrote and co-produced the classic Roy Ayers Disco era hit "Runing Away" sampled by Tribe Called Quest on "Peoples Instictive Travels and the paths of rhythm" but bieng young and bullheaded we soon parted ways and i have not seen him in person since.

FUNKGHOST: Using Influences From The Past To Create Music For The Future by Cyrus Webb The man called the “Morris Day of Hip Hop” is relishing in the acclaim his single “The Way I Rock My Clothes” is getting, but remains focused on the goal of just giving the world good music. Known in the business as Funkghost, the Tampa, FL native has always been around beats. His father was a part-time dj, and Funkghost was a fan of the 8 tracks around him and was drawn to music made by artists like Run DMC. Throughout the years he has always tried to show his support for any creative endeavor, looking for ways to build on his personal brand. As he began to build his reputation, Funkghost knew it was just as important to sell who you are as a person as it is to get your music out to the masses. Over the years he has been asked for his advice by new artists who are trying to break into the business or that are looking for staying power. What does he tell them? “Don’t sign anything with anyone un...

Now you might know him for another reason entirely: The former Soundcheck Artist of the Day just made the Deal Divas' list of the 10 Best Dressed People in Tampa Bay. No surprise, given the man's penchant for fine threads, as outlined in his video for The Way I Rock My Clothes. Funkghost calls his style "dirty but sophisticated." “You might wear a button-up shirt with a corduroy blazer and some distressed jeans with a fresh Gucci belt and some Supra sneakers," he told Deal Diva Nicole Hutcheson. But Even though Funkghost drops designer names like Oscar de la Renta and Salvatore Ferragamo in The Way I Rock My Clothes, he’s an equal opportunity shopper: True style is “when you can go out and put something together that’s not necessarily expensive but looks like a million bucks,” said Funkghost, who will...
