Deep, Soulful, Jazzy, Funky House tunes have dominated the soundtrack that has played in the background of my friendships, relationships, family, travel, work, growth, social circles and culture throughout my life.  The past 20 years I have  Dj'd it, Promoted it, Produced it, Performed it Live and I would not trade a single moment of it. A Michael John dj set or a live show with Soul System compile so many amazing memories and friendships.  Even now in my mid thirties with my wife and 3 kids in tow I am a house head still and will be forever.  Perhaps we will see eachother again on a dance floor or in a DJ Booth.... you never know! 

Everything about picard is somewhat bipolar. It was never intended to be, but is. The music is serious and heartfelt, their attitudes are not. The band is known for being sarcastic, easy going and constantly joking. Somehow out of that group comes something serious and gripping. It has been said that the members of picard have inner adults trying to escape.
