You don't need those wankers. You are going to do your own thing with friends and studio musicians. You record your solo album in six months. Its a sweet airy combination of jazz and soul. You name it Riding the make believe. You employ a drummer, a string bass player, three trumpet players, a excellent piano man, a sax player and a trio of lady back up singers, some of the best studio musicians play alongside personal friends of yours who are not signed to any label. The album is a cross over success! On the urban radio charts it is number one album, and on the over all album charts it hits number twelve!. That's the same number the last Quick Nods album Lets capsize the whole world . That's a great start!
