The emotional outburst of HUMAN BROTHER is a multi-layered, multi-faceted musical soup, sent to warm the chill in humanity right down to the bone. A mindful melodic sound palette has been laid down by multi instrumentalist/producer/songwriter and vocalist JD Shultz, who is soon to be known throughout the human world by his chosen tribal name HUMAN BROTHER. This rhythmic canvas is expertly crafted ear candy that leaves nothing to chance. Each blip, beep, beat, bang, rhythm, twang, ping, echo, tone, harmony, melody, and lyric, has been sculpted from scratch into songs laden with rock, soul, funk, and electronica influence. More appropriately this is the new genre Hu-Man-Electro, which is a melting pot of classic, electro, and midi instruments. JD first introduced Hu-Manilectro to the world through the debut album of award winning artist Girl Without Fear. After co-writing the songs, producing, and performing all musical instruments recorded on GWF's "Mix Messages", JD sharpened a production technique that is the "now sound" being burned into the universal pods of modern music listeners all over the world. This is the key to the artistic mission of Human Brother: A progressive artist here to make a universal statement through a loudspeaker plugged not only into the human mindwire, but connected to an inter-planetary soul satellite. JD's musical resume reads like a scroll to the history of rock and funk. At 18 he played to crowds of thousands with a now legendary supergroup well known throughout the pacific northwest as Trulio Disgracias, the all-star funk group started by Norwood Fisher of the legendary band Fishbone. The characters that made up this musical theateresque outfit have included George Clinton, better known as the father of funk and founding member of the legendary Parliament Funkadelic, members of Fishbone, and the equally legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers. Trulio's members were slaves to the jam, often playing for hours in front of a mesmerized audience. JD's music skills were quickly honed by playing with some of the most talented professional musicians and composers in the world. Soon, he began creating projects of his own, co-writing and producing for up and coming artists like Bronx Style Bob, and Demetria a.k.a Girl Without Fear.
