Ausura Akhi Amen was born in (Happy Hill) Mobile, Al. Raised in Dallas, Tx. Became a man in Chicago, Il He has lived life soulfully, while trying to maintain some balance in life... He began singing at a very young age. Like many African Americans kids back in the day. This was a very small tight knit community back then. However in this small area, at one time there was four different churches. " I’ve sang  at'em all. I sung at the Fellowship, Macedonia, Salvation, Greater , 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Baptist, AME, CME, Zion Church.

Back in the day, if he was not singing in the church, the street lights was his spotlight. In my first quartet group, we sung on a Easter Sundays, i might have been 6 or 7. We got a great response. From that performance I knew I wanted to do something music. So when I got to grade school i joined the string section. I choose the violin. For some reason most of that experience is vague in memory.

My musical influences included the classic soul singers like Jackie Wilson, Sam Cook, and Otis Redding. And gospel luminaries like the late-great Rev. James Cleveland, Joe Ligon, and Audrey Crouch.

"TAKING SOUL BACK TO THE FUTURE" 

Over the past seven years, European boogiemeisters COOL MILLION have delivered consistently remarkable R&B gems for the dance floor featuring cream-of-the-crop vocalists in fresh melodic settings. 

The German-Danish production duo has reminded listeners around the world that even in a marketplace saturated by artificially grown hits, it’s still possible to create authentic and meaningful recordings that make bodies move.           

Cool Million have become a solid rock in today's tumultuous barren musical desert. 

These guys KNOW about SOUL music. They are not following trends, jumping on bandwagons or even trying to create a trend. 

COOL MILLION are simply creating real music with real feeling and doing so with all the knowledge, love and respect for what we can affectionately call the groove.

Having written and produced for some of the greats, Beverley Knight,Damage,Tina Turner,Rod Stewart,Artful Dodger & Liberty X, Michelle Escoffery is finally offering her own material under the artist name "Maya Blu".

Hailing from the "Escoffery's" hall of fame, Michelle is the youngest of the sisters who were signed to Atlantic Records in 1991 with their album "Opinions".

She started singing at the tender age of 7 under direction of her father "George Escoffery" who taught all four sisters to sing in 4 part harmony.

Michelle was principle songwriter of the RnB girl group "Truce"  signed to Big Life Records 1993-98. 

She then signed to EMI music publishing in 2000 and in 2002 wrote No1 hit Just A Little - Liberty X. This song won her the prestigious Ivor Novello award for PRS most performed work of 2002 and was recently acknowledged by PRS as one of the top 100 songs of the century.Growing up in a Jamaican household with parents of the "Windrush Era", Michelle's influences are richly rooted in reggae, gospel and soul with hints of jazz. Single "Slow Dance" is a throwback of "Ska Music" meets soul vocals, celebrating "Women and Womanhood" with substance & panache.
