"The Diversity Project" began as two separate cd's written and recorded over the same period of time. The blues cd, "Standin at the Station" was inspired by my first appearance on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise as part of the Mel Waiters Band. The thrill of jamming with Tommy Castro, Michael Burks, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Preston Shannon, Susan Tedeschi, and many other respected musicians planted the seed to pursue my blues career. My early gospel background is evident in the song "Mississippi Po' Boy". The soul cd, "Soul Sessions", is a compilation of my works in Mississippi as a southern soul artist. I never want to give up my southern soul family and fans. My diversity in music includes my bonus track- "Born and Raised", a hip hop collaboration with G. Cavino. My love for blues, soul, hip hop, gospel, and everything else is defined in this project. ~Stevie J
