JINRAL TAO - R&B Core with Gospel Roots and Tight Harmonies.
My real name is Mark, but I go by the moniker, "Jinral Tao". I was born in Jamaica and came to Canada many years ago with my immediate family. I fell in love with this country which I now call home (minus the wintery cold).
I got bitten by the musical bug at childhood and haven't been able to shake the venom from my veins. Because of it, I've picked up playing bass and was a part of an all guys band for some time with dreams of doing music as a career. Circumstances led me to leave the band and I ended up working a 9-5. However, I kept doing music as a side interest.
Not long ago, I decided to put together and release an album from some of the songs I've written. The album is entitled, "Jinral Tao - Don't Get Too Close To Me",
which is mostly a solo effort that I am producing in my spare time. My music style could be described as having an R&B core with gospel roots and tight harmonies (but really, I try anything).
Originally, the release time frame was scheduled around spring 2012. However, due to some unforseen circumstances I had to push the date back to the fall of 2012.
I am working hard at meeting this new deadline and sincerely hope that you will enjoy listening to my songs as much as I enjoy making them. I've uploaded the title track of my album for you to get sort of a feel for where I'm headed with the project.
Feel free to comment on what you hear. Doesn't matter your comment... be it good, bad or indifferent. I'd love to hear from you.
