Contributors Al. Keith Al. Keith found his inner peace thru music at a young age while growing up on the streets of Cleveland, Ohio. He did not put his hands on it yet but his heart was in it. Music touched him before he touched it. Eventually Al. was playing percussion, singing and recording with Southern California based bands and musicians such as, I.R.A., New York Jazz Connection, Wozani, Native Sun, Liberation, Colorblind and US & International tours with Dave Wakeling of General Public, Michael Rose of Black Uhuru, the Bonedaddys & Victor Essiett in Nigeria. He took the knowledge bestowed on him and developed his own band, Al.’s Peace, aptly named after his continuing quest of being as close to the type of Peace that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King embraced. These days Al. can be seen filling in on the percussions for Sugar Ray and Rian Basilio & The Roosters when he is not with Al.’s Peace. The artist in Al. has always been his saving grace. His life is artistic. He sees everything artistic, be it his music, his photography, his visual art, his stories… and it was his stories that landed him as one of the top music reviewers for the Beverly Hills Outlook. To Al. it is all art that he wants to share with everyone.
