A son of music educators, Alan B started his musical career at the age of four when his father gave him his first set of drums. He made his first performance in a church play as the Little Drummer Boy. He played the trumpet by age seven, and began formal study of the trombone when he reached the sixth grade. He played the trombone throughout high school where he also developed his voice. He was member of the All State Chorus and won numerous awards for the next four years.
Traveling with the chorus, concert and marching bands ignited a fire in his soul that would never burn out. After his tour of duty in the United States Air Force he returned to South Carolina to pursue his musical career.
Along with his brother Greg, Alan B started his first band called H 2 0. He performed as a horn player, keyboardist, and sang lead and background vocals. Within two years he was sought by other bands to play keyboards in their shows.
In order to gain more knowledge about the business, he got a job as a roadie and understudy with the local band, Midnight Blue. This valuable experience enabled him to perform as a keyboardist and vocalist for The Precise Band.
After playing top 40 in venues from Atlanta, GA to Baltimore, MD for seven years, members of the band decided to branch out on their own.
Alan B settled in Maryland, opened his own production studio, "US SO PHATT PRODUCTIONS," now "WHAT DA WORD SAY RECORDS," and additionally he recently started a new label, “EYE C RECORDS” and continues to write, produce, and perform his own music.

Listeners will hear a complex artist, both musically and lyrically. Alan B takes it to that next level of perfection that many artists strive for but few ever reach! His songs take the listener through the initial intrigue, the inevitable ups and downs, funk infusion, classic urban ballads, and sensuous slow jams for married couples, all accomplished with laid-back smoothness, melodic gritty and intense grooves. "I've added a more personal flavor and depth to the music," says Alan B, whose strong and melodious falsetto is destined to become his trademark.

Alan B is a very progressive artist who knows who he is and what he is doing. Alan B exhibits a strong love and
