PROMISE AND FRIENDS
-PEACE-
I am originally from Charlotte,NC and that's where I begain my musical trip. I started out playing the lead guitar(a gift from my brother Harold S. Simpson) until my Brother Michael C. Simpson decided that I needed some help. He came to me one day and said " Hey man, you playing that doggone thang like a bass". The following X-mas he came over to our Family Home with a BASS. Maaaan, that was Santa Claus to me. Now that was when I was 13 or 14. A few years later this same brother(1of5)allowed me to relocate to Oakland,CA in 1979. By 1994 I was introduced to the keyboard through a brother from KC, Mo. Gene Simmons...Thanx Bro. But my ear for music I owe to my brother Victor Simpson. He would have me in the basement in Harvey, Il. and make me listen to certain elements of a song. So naturally, I give Thanks to GOD for my ability to create and produce music.
I've traveled quite a bit within the USA. Currently I reside in S.A.,TX...thanks to my Brother-In-Law James "Boom Boom" Bowens(He GAVE me the money to relocate).
Here, I'm in search of fresh talent
to work with and hopefully assist in getting them launched into the big time...SPOT-LIGHT!!

Okay Folks, now you have some of the sounds that have been created and recorded by PROMISE AND FRIENDS. One of my main friends is Bro. Don Dickerson(Pinole,CA)... he assisted me in getting music on this site for listening, enjoying, judging and buying. Please give us some feedback on what you think. Note: this style music is not rated. However, I will tell you all that it is a smooth mixture of Jazz and Funk. THANX FOR LISTENING!!!
Respectfully:
PROMISE AND FRIENDS
PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR NOT HAVING ANY OF MY MUZIK AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. I MUST GET MYSELF HIPPED TO UPLOADING OPTIONS...I DON'T HAVE
AN MP3 OR ANY OF THOSE OTHER GADGETS TO ACHIEVE THIS TASK. PLEASE BARE WITH ME FOLKS, I WON'T LET YOU ALL DOWN-MUSICALLY!
THANX A MILL

Hey Folks, this is one of the most dynamic sites for Artist/Acts to
get themselves out there into the mainstream. What I'm saying is, if you or your Grandmother's cousin(once removed) has any musical talent... hip'em to this OURSTAGE.com thang. I personally stumbled
upon it and honestly feel as though it was a direct GIFT.(I don't have to say from whom because WE know that HE gives US what WE all need as opposed to what WE want) Thank You OURSTAGE.com for your efforts in supporting the Up & Coming Artist/Talent of the future.
Much Respect:
Mr. Audrey "PROMISE" Simpson
