Biography
This site is showcasing composition and arranging by Brian L. (B5) of Airika Productions. All music is copyrighted (all rights reserved)
Airika Productions is the umbrella for the band Airika; a group of songwriters, musicians, singers, and composers begun by bassist/keyboardist Brian L.
The music posted here represents some of B5's ideas in a variety of styles (except for God Is Alive where Brian was on Bass). B5 is selecting the right mix of compositions and styles to include in a CD collection (are we still gonna buy CD's?) to be released later in 2008.
God Is Alive comes from a special LP project, recorded and produced by Terrence K. Grimes, Leon Wilkinson, and Keith Leak of the G.M.W.A. They had the foresight to include some future greats, besides Brian on bass: Keith Leak & Michael Cunningham composers/pianists, Tonya Baker, Chantell Jones(Burrell), Alice Kirksey, and Carlynn Watson on vocals. All of these artists have released outstanding gospel music in their own right. It has become a rare and collectible LP already. Myrna Summers and James Bignon also performed at that live event.
B5 can currently be seen playing bass regularly in the Denver, Boulder, Breckenridge Colorado area with several groups.
My musical prayer is that the sounds and songs I share, whether in jazz, gospel soul, or blues ... will help inspire God's goodness in you, and His reassurance for victory in the trials of your life. We hurt each other enough y'all ... Bless Somebody! Peace & Luv!"
