In just two years, Dr. dFunkt has released two albums, Nuerotik (Nov 2004) and Running Hot (Sept 2006). The title track from Running Hot was nominated for Urban Single of the Year at the 2007 East Coast Music Awards. Where Nuerotik was a loop-based eloctro-funk treat, Running Hot delivered a live-off-the-floor funk-rock masterpiece. Still the common thread is the tastefully catchy musicianship of Kamran Abdi. Dark and funky grooves with soulfully melodic vocals are his trademark. A prolific songwriter, Abdi has written almost all of the material for the next Dr. dFunkt album, which he describes as “perfectly funky pop-rock.” Born in Pakistan, raised in Saudi Arabia, and educated in North America, Kamran Abdi uses the principles of funk music to incorporate his diverse influences. He's found his soul-mates with his brand new line-up: Doug Cameron (drums), Paul Harris (keys), Seth Fraser (guitar), and Chuk Warren (bass). Their live performances are described as Prince-meets- Guns N' Roses. Some of their live covers include funked out versions of Could You Be Loved (Bob Marley), Heart Shaped Box (Nirvana), and Black Sabbath (Black Sabbath). Their tough rhythms and killer riffs have been rocking shows throughout Atlantic Canada.
