Magic is the leader, producer and recording engineer for Unified Tribe. Unified Tribe is based in Las Vegas with New York and L.A. roots.
With 12 principle members, they are a throwback in both size and sound to the days of big bands like Earth Wind & Fire and Sly & The Family Stone. Though they are big, their lyrics, and energy has a decidedly personal nature.
It's the true musicality of their records that first draws in most fans.
It's an element that is missing from so many industry formulated artists these days. The Tribe is anything but industry formulated, with a core that's been together for almost 24 years, they've grow up together and it's on top of their strong relationships that they build strong music.
Their parent production company, Magic Muzik Productions, Inc., which is comprised entirely of band members, has produced and/or worked with such R&B and Jazz veterans as Maurice White (Earth Wind & Fire), The Whispers, The Manhattans, Phil Perry, Russ Freeman & The Rippingstons, Gerald Albright, George Duke, Nia Peeples, Miki Howard, Howard Hewett and others.
Thought the group has received some of their biggest musical breaks through production, it's in concert where they really shine. Fans and industry aficionados alike, often comment on the live show far surpassing any expectations (however high) set by the albums. Their shows are as visual as they are auditory, with dancing, great inter-member interaction, audience participation, and musicians constantly switching instruments. Audience members have to see it three or four times just to integrate it all.
Driven by personal tragedy (the loss of Magic and Starr's son to Leukemia in the early nineties) and an overwhelming air of social consciousness within the group, Unified Tribe takes every opportunity for involvement in charitable and philanthropic causes.
