Story Behind The Song

I never met Mr. James Dewitt Yancey, but I have been moved by his music over the years. "Mr. Dilla" is a tribute to J Dilla, pointing to the broader reach of his music, crossing boundaries continuously through time and space.

Song Description

James Dewitt Yancey (February 7, 1974 - February 10, 2006), better known by the stage names J Dilla and Jay Dee, was an American record producer and huge inspiration to me. I was most impacted when I watched and listened as an orchestra played his music. That experience gave me chills.
