He is also the creator and host of the Friday Favecast (www.fridayfavecast.com) - a weekly music podcast dedicated to soul, progressive hip hop, fitness and social commentary.
Fave started playing the piano at 18 while attending Ball State University. Two years later, he became the musical director of his university gospel choir and spent most of the mid to late-90s writing gospel songs and playing piano in local churches. He is also self-taught on organ, trombone, trumpet, lead and bass guitar.
In 2000, Fave moved to Atlanta and studied production under many renowned and underground R&B / pop producers. In 2002, Fave joined indie label, Lightsout Entertainment and co-founded GrooveSpeak, a weekly open mic showcase in Southwest Georgia. His love for the βneo soulβ movement expanded while promoting this event and recording new material.
Fave produced two albums while at LOE, the spoken word / soul LP, Lovers Interlude and Barry Ousleyβs R&B debut, Emotional Progression. Both albums demonstrated Faveβs versatile style of production, songwriting and vocal arrangements. Fave founded the βGrown + Sexy (G&S) Band" where he played keys and sang throughout the Southeast. During this time, he was known as βTrelblazaβ for starting these new cultural movements. He left LOE amicably in 2004 in order to relocate from Georgia and further his career as a marketing executive in the beverage industry.
In 2006, Fave began working on a music podcast celebrating underexposed indie artists in addition to his own selections. The Friday Favecast has evolved to a weekly podcast highlighting artists such as Eric Roberson, Sy Smith, Dwele, Foreign Exchange, Little Brother, S1, Choklate and others.
He currently produces the The Friday Favecast in Houston in addition to contributing keys and vocals as 1/3 of the Cross Country Collective with electronica producer, Todd Kelley (Big La), and gospel-jazz guitarist Doug Ramsay (Fresh).
Fave recently co-produced the Men Love Mary: A Tribute to "My Life" mixtape project hosted by Chucky Thompson, and featuring Eric Roberson, Jesse Boykins III, Nino Moschella, et al.
