Feb 7th:

//// ROY DAVIS JR ////

Added on board the Chicago house production team "Phuture," as a

replacement for DJ Pierre, Roy Davis Jr. later followed his mentor

to New York and worked at Strictly Rhythm, recording his own singles

for Force Inc., Big Big Trax and Power Music.

Originally born in California, Davis moved to Chicago's south side

early in his childhood. After being turned on by legendary

acid-house pioneers like Phuture and Lil' Louis, he became a DJ

and began producing as well, with his first single, "20

Below," recorded for the Jack Trax label. Roy describes the music

that he makes as "soul electrica"; soul music mixed with

electronics. His style has changed and grown up through the

years as he has been going back to his spiritual roots in house

music, away from the sound that he once was associated with - Phuture's

"acid" and "wild pitch." The sound he is working on is

expanding more on the soulful side combining an unmistakable

deep funk sound of Chicago.

In 1991, Roy got together with Jay Juniel and Sheena Mahome and started

the group Umosia on Polydor/Big Beat. "We are Unity" was the first

single. Roy then went to Strictly Rhythm, where he brought his talent and

skills to develop into great forms of art with the Believers "Who Dares

To Believe In Me?", Underworld "Angels Calling", Phuture "Rise From Your

Grave", "Inside Out" and also the famous Roy Davis Projects 1-3.

In 1996 Roy and a 19 year-old producer, Peven Everett, recorded a song

titled "Gabrielle" that became an anthem in dance music. It was a tune

that would change Roy's musical direction as well as take him back to

his spiritual roots. The year 2000 also saw Roy diversify his production

work with critically acclaimed remixes for Gus Gus, Eric Benet & Faith

Evans, Terry Dexter, and Hip-Hop queen Mary J. Blige.
