Well, only a firsthand experience will convey effectively what Errol does, but an inadequate synopsis might shed some light: Imagine a crowed, and for the sake of example, let’s say a crowed of high school students, perched on a set of bleachers in a gym.

You can’t call them an audience, however, because Errol doesn’t have an audience. He has partners. Errol engages. Errol interact. Errol adapts.

He knows, you have to practice what you preach. But what truly sets Errol apart from contemporaries is his message. Errol believes positivity is for people what water and sunshine are to flowers. It nurtures, it enrich, it feeds, and it generates growth.And, sadly, it’s lacking in our society.Let’s face it: With rare exceptions, popular culture is on a bad track. It’s a climate of drugs, sex and violence where gunshot wounds suggest credibility, ripped abdominals mean integrity.Well, this attitude ends with Errol.In Lee you’ll find a stark countermeasure’ a cure for complacence’ an antidote to apathy.Errol sings about values we all come to cherish as our paths guide us to understanding. Errol crosses borders and challenges the norms of contemporary culture.Errol defies convention.But as a result, he’s difficult to define- and that’s a good thing.Think Duke Ellington, Bob Marlye, Louis Armstrong or Bob Dylan. Like the groundbreaking artists of our past, Errol goes against the grain.This pioneer is not readily classifiable because the world has yet to generate a term to describe his art.But, it’s only a matter of time before we start trying.
