In My Own Words

I am a vocalist who heads the band Claude Chaney & Friends. Our music is Smooth Jazz, R&B with bossa nova.

My Musical Influences

My greatest influence would have to be Sam Cooke, who was one of the first African-American artists to control his career, from writing, to producing to eventually owning his own record company. Other composers that I admire are Smokey Robinson, Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Edward Holland, Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Stevie Wonder and Jimmy Webb. I am inspired by Sade because she is a great talent that is over 50 and still going strong.
