Gene Lake embodies the contradictions of modern music. His resume reflects his passion for the great funk icons of the 1970s and 1980s such as Parliament/Funkadelic, Prince and The Time, as well as his longstanding ties to the jazz world. Gene has been playing for almost 10 years with a stunningly diverse range of artists: from r&b group Surface in the 1980s to the "new wave" of r&b acts such as Me'shell NdegeOcello, Maxwell, and D'Angelo in the 1990s; from jazz innovators Steve Coleman and Henry Threadgill, to fusion legends Joe Zawinul and Marcus Miller; from jazz/rap group Opus Akoben to acts that defy categorization, such as the wildly original rock/funk/jazz fusion group Screaming Headless Torsos.
Gene Lake's early childhood exposure to creative institutions as the Black Artists Group(BAG) in St.Louis is reflected in his constant desire to seek out the musically innovative and adventurous, even as he remains grounded in the basics of funk. Gene Lake credits various drummers with influencing his musical style, from Diamond (of the Ohio Players) to Omar Hakim (of Weather Report). In future he plans to spend more time writing music that synthesizes and transforms the many influences from which he emerged.

BRASERO - "BACKSIDE", LE CLIP ! Clip réalisé dans différents spots dont le Bowl de Marseille, le vieux port et le Prado. John Petit (BMX) et Seb Daurel (skate) deux champions des sports extrêmes font partie intégrante du film au travers de figures. Enfants du bitume, ces deux riders ont fait de l'urbain leur terrain de jeu et se jouent de ses aspérités. Un mélange explosif entre le nu metal de Brasero et l'univers de la glisse ! Réalisateur : Jérémy Marc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7mgyFbIm5Y
