BLACK HISTORY MONTH SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW: PETER OKEAFOR

I started making music in the late 1980s and early 1990s.  For various reasons, I drifted away from music and started to write Science Fiction and Fantasy.  I have written two novels.  My novels can be found on amazon.com and are called “What Burns Below,” and “Journey Through The Earths.”

Recently, I started to make music again.  My musical influences are many and include Prince, George Clinton/P-Funk/Bootsy Collins, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Beatles, Madonna, James Brown, Kiss, Aerosmith, Public Enemy, Sly Stone, Teddy Pendergrass, Isaac Hayes, Fela Kuti, Miles Davis and others.
