About me: My name is Willie Larry Griggs, also known as Jazzy LG. I have enjoyed making and playing music nearly my whole life. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, I grew up around the Motown sound(On father's day 2008 I found out that I am cousin to Motown founder Berry Gordy!!). At the age of 12, I started toying with a Casio keyboard, listening to songs on the radio, and beginning to understand how to play by ear. I later expanded my art, when I was taught the alto clarinet in concert band, while in middle school. This was very important for my future growth, as I learned how to read sheet music, and the importance of various notations and arrangements. Throughout high school, I focused mainly on improving my writing and vocal skills, and was already well schooled in improvisational music (playing by ear). In 1984, I entered the U.S. Army, where I studied to be an X-ray Technologist; I interacted with musicians and artists from all over the country. While stationed at Fort Sam Houston, I participated in many talent shows and produced songs for numerous military and civilian talents. Notably, in 1987 I had the honor of being a part of one of the premier rap groups in San Antonio, called Born Fresh Posse. It consisted of me as producer/keyboardist/back-up vocals, A. Jackson, Timothy Brown (deceased), and DJ Veno. We performed commercial, clean rap, laced with smooth r&b choruses, at high schools, the june-teenth festival (1988) , and the same year ,won the right to open up for these legends of hip hop : KRS-ONE, ICE-TEE , DOUG E. FRESH , KOOL MOE DEE , BIZ MARKIE, AND ERIK B& RAKIM! After the concert, the group didn’t stay together too long. We each had our own individual responsibilities to attend to. My primary responsibility was to my family, and my long term career. I continued doing music while working in radiology, and was discovered by a local independent record label, Belt Drive records (1992). I was part of a group called SPLIT IMAGE, signed for 1 year and recorded 2 songs with my two best friends Anthony Jackson and Julius Byrd. This was a great learning experience. The best lesson was to love music for what it is, and you will never be disappointed. While with Belt Drive, I joined ASCAP( The American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers) , of which I am a writer member ,and have access to a multitude of information for young writers, producers and composers who are interested in become more knowledgeable in their endeavors. I have produced music for at least 100 artists. Produced jingles for adolf’s furniture in 1992.I have posted songs on the internet between 2000 and 2002 on various websites and have received accolades from other nations, as far away as Australia. The music I create is universally accepted in its pure form ,and is unique in my approach to be different ,but simple. So in the 25 years I have been involved in music, I have done just that, been involved with the music not just contracts or spotlights. I have developed my own signature style, and am blessed with sharing my gifts to the Glory of My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In these days of tribulations
Perils and strife
We must put our faith in Christ and let him change the life
By renewing our minds and opening our eyes
To propaganda and lies
That ensure our demise
Politics and religion infected by mass deception
But read the words of christ and you'll be free from infection
Not the disease of the body but a sick soul
So behold the gospels and let the Word gain control
Too many people influenced by the evils of men
Turn off the television and protect ya soul from sin
Be sure to let love enter into your heart
If u racing for victory - love will get u a head start.
Peace- ya boy Kutter
