About JD PRIEST
Dynamic Singer/Songwriter/Musician JD PRIEST expresses himself with a unique contemporary flare and eloquent style. Taking a variety of musical influences from Rhythm & Blues, Soulful Rock, Jazz and Country, he blends them into a sound uniquely identifiable. His impassioned vocal stylings have earned him outstanding reviews from Music Connection Magazine, Global Muse, Press-Enterprise and LAâs Crown Magazine. Dana Point Herald calls JD PRIEST âone of Southern Californiaâs most promising actsâ. In 2007 JD PRIEST releases CD âFalling Forwardâ as the follow up to his debut EP âSum Of Soulâ and is the second time JD has worked with Engineer/Producer Kelly McGuire (Bucksworth, Oso-Rey, Shoppy,). âAll these tracks have a special magic that reflect our comfort working together and what started out to be just a few songs has now become a ten-song, musical biography giving testimony to the emotional struggle of a love-tormented soul,â says JD. He uses catchy melodies and hooks to communicate the depth of his writing. Concerts scheduled to promote the CD release include the 2007 Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival.
