Oakland California , USA

Internet record label True Vibe Records, based in Oakland, California, was founded by owner Bill Jackson, who has had a burning passion to offer a new genre of music to the listening public. This music, called Jazz Funk Hip HoPoetry, consists of inspirational and conscious-raising spoken word, hip hop lyrics, and singing over upbeat jazz, funk, R & B, Caribbean, Latin, and hip hop instrumental music. According to Jackson, the music is a potpourri of musical elements and influences designed to entertain, enlighten, and inspire people. True Vibe Records was an outgrowth of his background as a musician, educator for more than 20 years, and other life experiences. Jackson’s first musical training started at the early age of 7 when he took piano lessons, after which he played trumpet in public school concert bands and jazz bands. He later learned how to play bass guitar and also played with a number of R & B and funk bands. Go to www.trueviberecords.com
