Naked Soul (5)

NAKED SOUL is the brainchild of Brian Hudson, a Bucks County, PA native who grew up listening to a potpourri of musical styles, such as jazz greats Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett, and classical composers Beethoven, Mozart and Stravinsky. As his musical tastes matured, he expanded his melodic stylings to include classic rock artists such as Todd Rundgren, Talking Heads, David Bowie, and the Beatles. When Brian assembled what he felt was a powerful mix of music and art through his compositions, he decided to record his demos at Vortex Sound Studios in Lindenwold, NJ. It was here he met Chief Engineer and Studio Owner James D. Forbes, known for his work with such bands as Immolation (Metal Blade Records), Fear Of God (Warner Bros. Records) and Heavens Edge (CBS/Columbia Records). In the summer of 1999, Brian was introduced to Jayar Mack, South Philly's own singer/songwriter/arranger/producer. Jayar, who originates from Chicago, IL.
