Song:I Wanna Make Love
Album:Studio Confessions
It's pretty clear that if Peven Everett wanted to sign with a major label, he could be a dominant force in R & B and hip hop. But he seems to be satisfied with producing his own music on his own Studio Confessions label and he has become a major player in the Chicago House music scene. His roots are in jazz. He was born June 2, 1975 in Harvey, IL. He learned to play various instruments. At age 17, he earned a scholarship at the Berklee School Of Music but instead moved to New York and worked for legendary singer Betty Carter for four years. He also toured with Branford Marsalis' Buckshot LeFonque. He moved back to Chicago in 1996 and has worked mostly behind the scenes with producers like Roy Davis Jr. Everett works on so many projects it's impossible to make sense of it. Studio Confessions is a rare solo release that is clearly a strong R & B groove. I suspect that if Peven Everett chose to be more focused on his solo work, he could become a household name. He doesn't seem to want to do that but he is very talented and R & B fans should check him out. Here's Peven Everett performing at the Raw Club in London 2008.
