Andre Cymone - Funk is Alive - DJJamieDetroit & DJ JimmyV on Radio Cobra Detroit
Funk never left—it just needs artists who treat it like a living art form. We sit down with Andre Cymone to discuss his latest releases, Funk Is Alive, and the timeless groove that keeps funk thriving. Andre shares how his jazz-musician father, early bass playing, and influences from James Brown to Lou Rawls shaped his sound. We explore the Minneapolis sound, his journey through rock and other genres, and why funk will always be home. He explains why syncopation is the heartbeat of funk, takes us behind the scenes of his new Volume One and Two releases, and previews upcoming videos, live shows, and a deluxe collector's box set. Andre also offers an honest look at today's music business, explaining why supporting independent artists through Bandcamp matters. If you love authentic funk and great music stories, this episode is for you.
