The music is just a natural part of
me. My recordings occur like this. I write a piece of music, put the
headphones on, turn on the mic and see what the song has to say. When I get
to the end of a song, that’s the recording. No re-recording. I mix it and
that’s that. It’s natural. When I write music, it’s a feeling. After I’ve
completed a song, if I do want to re-record a part I have to listen to it
and learn it because I have no idea of what I played. My lyrics I never
write down and I never forget. I think that that’s odd myself but if I were
to try and plan and think a song, nothing will happen. As far as my playing
skills go, I write music and that’s it. I am in no way a musician. I taught
myself to play by writing.
Who is R&B Urban Soul internet Icon, "Chivalry"
The Motown Era! Detroit, MI Born June 27, 1961, David J. Bembry
“I was fortunate in that I remember a lot of the Motown originals because they
were right there in the neighborhood. I always appreciated the diversity and
quality of the artists from that era.”
Being a single parent and dealing with teenagers and young adults takes its toll
along with trying to deal with my Bembry Entertainment Group and of course my
full-time job at LMU. I wouldn't have it any other way! There's never enough
time and trying to balance everything is a trick at best. I guess it's just that
I love people in general and my life affords me constant contact with heartfelt
relationships with many people, most of all my children. As a parent you're
always monitoring where your children are at in life and how they can at least
become stable adults with some level of security in life. In these times?!!!! It
turns out that all that I can do is really keep them strong and motivated. Two
of my five children are let's say; a bit off track at the moment but the thing
that I give them all credit for is that they are good of heart. They are decent
people. I’m very proud of them all. I’ve learned from them that they feel secure
because they believe in me and know that I'll always act with integrity and
total support to ensure their security. They've seen Pops pull a rabbit out of a
hat on several occasions during their lifetimes.
I'm a bit of a "What's Honorable" fanatic and my children's faith in knowing
this about me is where I gain all of the strength that I'll ever need in this
life and the next. Believe it or not, now I have 5 grandchildren! Thank God that
no one would ever look at me and believe it! “Although I struggle through this
life like most, I know that even through the worst of times; I've been blessed
by it all. After having lived a bit, spent 20 years in a marriage and 7 years as
a single parent, I find that I haven’t changed much. I still find hope in the
idea of true love.” I've always been girl crazy but it's not always about sex. I
just love the opposite sex. In truth women are different from men in the way
that they're wired and I haven't figured them out either but I find so much
pleasure in trying! I like making blunt statements as I am extremely straight
forward about everything and it's always a joy when a woman looks at you with
the biggest smile and tells you, "You're a fool!" lol
