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
