CHOCOLATE MUSIC
Bio
Is the code word for the musical vibrations manifesting themselves in project form of songwriter/producer Stevie Martin a.k.a Roofa G. Stevie is a native of Los Angeles, California and had his first measure of success as a founding member of the funk band the Electric Booty Mob. The band signed a deal with Sontown Records, a small independent label in the early 1990''s. The Booty Mob developed a reputation as a powerful live unit, and garnered critical acclaim throughout the West Coast. The band took an uncompromisingly funky stance, playing organic music featuring both singing and rapping which was uncommon in the era of sampling and New Jack Swing. Shortly after an opening slot for the legendary Pointer Sisters, the band parted ways and Stevie began to search his soul and develop a new musical vision. Chocolate Music is the synthesis of that vision. The Chocolate Music Co. was officially launched in January 2000 as a production and marketing entity for Stevie. He recorded an EP featuring the song "Get Into You". The EP was to be released in early 2000 under the name Roofa G. on Groovalotic Rhythm Records. Stevie decided not to release the single but to return to the studio, refine his vision and reemerge with a fully realized album. As Stevie was in the process of writing and recording for the album, he wrote and played on two albums with the independent R&B band RioSoul. The band toured the country and played shows with the likes of legendary funk bands Cameo and Slave. Stevie also played bass with the band Lakeside of "Fantastic Voyage" fame and wrote and recorded with Mallia Franklin of the George Clinton produced Parlet. Chocolate Music is produced by Stevie Martin and G. Roofa Stone and features Stevie as the primary musical source complemented by a diverse cast of talents which includes singers, guitarists, keyboardists, poets, horns and rappers. The bands'' debut limited edition release features classic Soul, Jazz, Funk and Hip-Hop flavors.
