Georgie B interview on Colourful Radio 13-December-2020
After leaving Second Image in the late 80’s, Georgie B continued to work tirelessly within the music industry, sharing the stage with many distinguished artists such as Womack & Womack, Bobby Womack, Jean Carn, MAZE (ft. Frankie Beverly), Reel 2 Reel, Phil Fearon, Rod Temperton (writer of ‘Thriller’ & ‘Rock With You’), Paul Weller and many more. Plus a plethora of live and studio session performances around the globe.
In April 2011, Georgie B was invited to sing (with Second Image) at the 02 Theatre in London, as part of the 30 YEAR CELEBRATION OF BRIT FUNK. This sold out concert was a ‘must attend’ event for the soul family placing Georgie alongside other great British soul / jazz funk acts such as Incognito, Imagination, Beggar & Co/Light Of The World, Junior Giscombe, David Joseph and Central Line.
As an accomplished singer / songwriter / producer and with the resurgence of the British ‘Jazz Funk’ scene, Georgie felt the time was right to go solo. So In 2011 he put together his GROOVE ASSOCIATION project and ‘Let’s Break The Ice‘ was his first release, this was soon followed by ‘Old Skool Magic’. Georgie B released his debut album in April 2012 entitled ‘LET’S BREAK THE ICE’. This critically acclaimed album hit number 3 in the UK Soul Chart and paved the way for 3 more album releases, ‘3AM’. ‘Soul Family Affair’ and ‘More And More’.
On 28th November 2020 Georgie B released ‘IT’S BEEN SO LONG’ his 5th studio album to date, featuring 12 tracks of classic soul / jazz fusion and RnB flavas! (With a sprinkling of Lovers Rock too), the perfect way to showcase his song writing production talents. This new album looks set to be another #1 with massive interest from not only UK and Europe, but USA and Japan too!
