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!

B. Bravo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
서울 전체를 무대 삼아 누비지
Nod your head, I don't want to be locked up
무리 지어 무리 지어 함께 깨트려 금기
We need to spread out 허수아비 될라
공터도 명당으로 만들어 난
지금이 피크야 꽁무니 빼지마
좌우지 장 지지지 rock all night
동그라미 주위로 모여 쭈뼛대는 사람은 못 껴
음악은 키고 신경 꺼
Y'all just vibe with me, baby
저기 쟤가 마음에 들어
Pop it up, burn it up 점점점
Hey, you guys 같이 놀래 구경 그만하고 조인해
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Hola, hola, holala, woo, ye, ye, ye (aye)
왼발 그리고 Zig-zag'n
멋있는 척 말고 힘 빼기
사방에서 힐끔힐끔 대지
이미 정신이 다 팔려 매진
손을 머리 위에 태양도 가리게
모두 놔버린 채 흐트러져 버리게
볼륨 올리고 자릴 지켜
음 애들은 다 비켜라 비켜
동그라미 주위로 모여 쭈뼛대는 사람은 못 껴
음악은 키고 신경 꺼
Y'all just vibe with me, baby
저기 쟤가 마음에 들어
Pop it up, burn it up 점점점
Hey, you guys 같이 놀래 구경 그만하고 조인해
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
한 곡 땡기러 흔쾌히 따러
One, two, three, four, five, six, yeah 나 feel 받으면 못 멈춰
대형 전부 무시해 마음 가는 대로 스텝 밟어
One, two, three, four, five, six, yeah 자, 누가 제일 잘 노는지
Hola, hola, holala, woo, ye, ye, ye
아침이 되고 하나둘씩 지쳐
아직 시작인데 party is not over
그만 노심초사해 밀착해 come closer
오늘 하루만 살기로
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance (shall we)?
Let me see you move
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
한 곡 땡기러 흔쾌히 따러 yeah
One, two, three, four, five, six, yeah 나 feel 받으면 못 멈춰
대형 전부 무시해 마음 가는 대로 스텝 밟어
One, two, three, four, five, six, yeah 자, 누가 제일 잘 노는지
Hola, hola, holala, woo, ye, ye, ye
