Details:
SSP Recordings Percussionist/Songwriter Felix Langford,began his musical journey at the age of eleven,taking violin lessons.At that time,the violin was not considered to be a "cool" instrument,he was teased constantly.So, Felix turned his violin case around and carried it like it was a saxophone.A few years,he fell in love with percussion.His older brother,nicknamed,"Dr.John",had taught him a few beats and Felix took off.He studied music theory and voice at the Wisc.Conservatory of Music and piano labs at M.A.T.C.and also attended UW-Milw;studying psychology and linguistics.Having played with several bands over the years in many genres of music;reggae,r&b,blues,rock and jazz,just to name a few;Felix has opened for r&b legend,"Smokey Robinson" and ol'school crooners,"The Dramatics" also jazz greats;saxophonists-"Najee" and "Mindi Abair". Performing with jazz great;guitarist- "Nick Colionne" was the turning point for Felix....When asked why he chose to start writing his own music Felix says,"The percussionist is always the first to go when a band needs to cut costs.I just got tired of being cut,just when you feel like you belong.So,I was pushed ,more or less,into the direction of writing music.Thank the Almighty for technology,because with the creation of music workstations and digital recorders,I can do all the parts I hear in my head!" Now the world can experience the joy Felix brings in his music with the release of his first cd intitled,"Rebirth",12 songs(72min. & 49sec.) of love. Felix says,"It's not so much about me ,It's all about the music!"(Enjoy!).....
