I'll never forget almost coming off of a plane from Bahia Brazil to an Omar concert in Philly, and seeing a lot of people in the house but specifically James Poyser. The whole time I was in Brazil we were pumping World Wide Underground and I knew that he was on it. I basically ran down on James and said, " Yo man y'all killed it, you killed it! Everyone I played the album for is loving it man y'all really did work. It's reminiscent of the type of collaboration that the Sade band has,..yadda yadda yadda..." James was very polite and said thank you. And then I thought to myself "Well I've praised him enough, I better leave him alone."😊 And later on that night from across the room I saw James looking at me like," Who the hell was that dude?"🤣😂🤣😂 Btw, wasn't it Cut Master Vic?🤔
Very interesting to hear Poyser's journey. He seems to be extremely down to earth. I can relate to the church upbringing as I'm a church musician myself. I will say that the overplaying gets old quick for me. Less is more (so I'd love Quest as a drummer to play with 😁) and we're not there to be showmen because our gifts become pretty vain at that point. Anyway, good interview guys👌🏾
James Poyser is the Daryl Simmons of The Soulquarians. Remember how L.A. Reid and Babyface referred to Daryl as the Silent Partner due to his heavy involvement in writing, production and being a session musician for them? That's James in a nutshell. Dude has done quite a bit, yet his name is rarely mentioned - even inside the music industry.
As a music nerd who read the album linear notes. A touch of jazz productions is where I became familiar with him. I remember Tye Tribbett’s first album James EP it.
I can relate to James because I was brought up the very same way. Those church times he’s reflecting on produced some amazing musicians. Some of us didn’t get paid until years down the line. Some others never got paid (left the church, got married, became preachers, no longer with us) but boy did we have a blast. Great interview so far.
I love this guy. He’s always been ahead of the game. His talents are immeasurable. A true G.
AGREED

Great take
Astute observation. Wow.
