Hailing from California under the influence of west coast GFunk, Roy Ayers and Herbie Hancock, he's pioneering a new sound in electronic music connecting interstellar funk and R'n'B with contemporary dance, hip hop and 'bass' music. As a founding member of the Frite Nite label/crew based in San Francisco, he is also a driving force in the emerging worldwide Modern Funk Movement.
Bravo's massive tune 'Computa Love' gained international acclaim as one of London tastemaker Benji B's 'best of 2009' selections for his BBC 1xtra radio program, and as the lead track and 12" from Gilles Peterson's 2010 Brownswood Electr*c compilation. Red Bull Music Academy hand picked Bravo as a participant to attend their coveted program in London for 2010 and continue to support him as celebrated alumni.
As a DJ and live performer, complete with synths, vocoder and talkbox, Bravo has shared the stage with artists like Chromeo, Dam-Funk, Flying Lotus and in 2011 serenaded crowds across the world with his bass heavy outerspace boogie and dirty grinding synth grooves at festivals like SXSW, Detroit Electronic Music Festival, and Sonar in Barcelona.
2011 also saw the release of Bravo's third solo release, the highly praised Kiss 'n' Tell EP on the Earnest Endeavours imprint, and the formation of his seductive live band ''The Starship Connection' co-piloted by fellow SF funkster, Teeko. Their collaboration EP is due out early 2012 on Frite Nite records as well as an official Teeko & Bravo remix for Mark Ronson feat. D'Angelo. Also in the works for 2012 - Mr. Bravo's highly anticipated debut LP!

The lyrics to B. Bravo's song "Shook" describe the effects of a woman who has shaken the singer (presumably in a positive way) all night long. The repeated chorus emphasizes the impact that this woman had on the singer's life and relationships. However, towards the end of the song, there is a shift in the tone as the singer begins to question the consequences of this shaking, wondering what will happen to his wife and child and expressing a desire not to be hurt anymore.
The lyrics evoke a sense of passion and desire, highlighting the intense physical and emotional connection between the singer and the woman who has shaken him. The repeated use of the word "shook" in different tenses reinforces the idea that this experience was ongoing and life-changing for the singer. The use of weather imagery (hurricane, earthquake) adds to the intensity and power of the woman's effect on the singer.
The shift towards the end of the song signals a recognition that this shaking may have negative consequences and that the singer is no longer willing to let himself be hurt. The lyrics suggest that this relationship may have taken a toll on the singer's family life, leaving him questioning his choices and the impact of his actions.
