GRAVITY    

GRAVITY is a trio of magnificently talented individuals; Clydene Jackson (vocals, Keyboards), Harold Payne (vocals, Guitar) and Oliver C. Brown (percussion). Their self titled debut album was released by a premier Japanese label garnered significant airplay and top 20 chart action while exposing the band to appreciative international audiences. They have subsequently released Love Comes Back and are the featured act on the new Power of Positive Music™ vol. 1, Just released on Affinity Records.

Clydene Jackson is a two time winner of the NARAS MVP Best Female Vocalist Award and has been heard coast to coast on network TV and radio commercials. She uses her powerhouse vocals in films like "The Lion King" and "Armageddon", and has sung on recordings by such artists as Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson & Michael McDonald. Harold Payne has had over 100 recordings of his songs, ranging from Patti LaBelle and Rod Stewart to long time collaborator, Bobby Womack and Snoop Dogg. He is especially known for his ability to make up songs on the spot. Internationally, Harold has participated in the "Music Bridges" projects in Russia, Bali & Cuba. Oliver Brown's driving force brings a unique energy, power and a vivid palette of sounds as he moves from chimes, bells, congas and cymbals. His pleasure in performing is contagious. Oliver began his career as an original member of KC and the Sunshine Band and has toured with many acts ranging from Al Jarreau to Fleetwood Mac.

GRAVITY has completed 3 successful tours to Japan and toured Hawaii for the release of Love Comes Back. They will be back in Maui for the "Taste of Lahaina" this September, with the new Power of Positive Music™ CD. Gravity’s new CD “Gravity 180” is scheduled for a fall 2007 release.

Gravity CD
The Press Recommends:
Don’t Mention My Heartache” and “California Blues” are sweet and soulful; the former is a Hot 100 hit waiting to be discovered. “Music Speaks Louder Than Words” is a feel-good anthem that sounds familiar at first listen.
        -John Berger, Star Bulletin, Honolulu, HI

“GRAVITY is a unique triangle. The attraction between pop & soul. Rhythm & melody. Silk and sandpaper. Feel their fresh and seductive force and they’ll pull you back for more.”
