| Introduction | Felix is basically a self-taught musician...Learning by ear!!! Felix says, "It's really all about how the music makes you feel!!! I know classically trained musicians who can play the hell out of Bach,Beethovan and Mozart, but,when asked to write an original composition ,they are truly lost.....That's strange to me!!! I do envy those Classically trained musicians,having studied some music theory,It's very difficult! Music is truly a personal thing...when it comes to writing and even listening!!! It's all about what you feel as a person! Just as the great composers wrote their symphonies.That's what they themselves were feeling at the time they wrote them,It's a personal,individual thing! So,it is with my music!" Now the world can experience the Joy that Felix brings in his music with the release of his first self-produced CD titled,“Rebirth”, 13 songs(over 75min.) of love. Felix says, “It’s not so much about me , you see,It’s all about the music!”(Enjoy!) Be on the LOOK-OUT for his 2nd CD titled ,"Can We Dance?" Available NOW 2013!! (C) 2013 Feeldatcat Music(BMI)* |
| Favorite movies | Born in The State of Wisconsin (USA)* and raised in The City of Milwaukee....Home of The Milwaukee Braves/Brewers/Bucks, The Green Bay Packers *(Go Pack Go!!)*, The Miller Brewing Co. and Harley-Davidson Motorcycles on October 29th,1955....SSP Recordings featured ~ Recording Artist...Percussionist/Vocalist/Composer/Producer ~ Felix Langford, began his musical journey at the age of 11, taking violin lessons in Jr.High. At that time, the violin was not a “Cool” instrument in his neighborhood and he was teased constantly....(and those "black-rimmed nerdy glasses", didn't help the situation at all!!)* So..........Felix turned his violin case around......carrying it like it was a saxophone.......He didn't fool anyone, but himself. As far as music was concerned......Felix always loved to sing songs about love and learned a lot while listening to his older sisters, Frances,(who sang like "Diana Ross")(RIP)* and Delois,(who dreamed of being an opera singer)*, singing around the house!!!....Also, each and every Sunday Morning, while getting ready for church, his father, Fred(RIP)* would always play the local radio stations gospel show!!! Felix even did a stint in the Youth's Gospel Choir at the neighborhood Baptist Church on 35th St.!!! *(Stevie Wonder's,"I WISH", brings back lots of memories!!!)* |
