Ok so I am gonna make it short !
I was a part of a school called the Music Academy International in Nancy, France.

We had the chance to have Dean Bowman (The singer of Screaming Headless Torsoes) coming for a week and do a scat singing masterclass.

Richard Paul Morellini aka MOMO, one of the director of the school points out that Dean Bowman sings like Leon Thomas.
He gave me that day "The Creator has a Masterplan" to listen to , with Pharaoah Sanders, and I was blown away by the music, but more importantly by the quality of the scat of Leon Thomas.

Dean Bowman became a friend of mine, and a mentor, we actually worked on a song together called "My Soul is a drug" and smoked so much weed that day :P, the song never got released though haha.

Leon Thomas had a major influence in my scat. When I met Al Jarreau and sang with him, we actually had a long conversation about Leon Thomas, how amazing he was and the influence that he had on so many singers like me and Mr Jarreau

For my 1000 followers mark I will share my duo with Al Jarreau live from french TV :)

Dude, merci for sharing ! 15 years of my own musical experience just slapped me in the face
