From Wikipedia:
Born to Panamanian parents in Los Angeles in 1979, E. Nathaniel Dawkins (aka Aloe Blacc) first began playing trumpet in elementary school, and continued with the instrument throughout high school.
He began his career in 1995 as an MC in an indie rap duo called Emanon. By the end of the 1990s, Blacc was a “stowaway” on a Lootpack tour in Europe.
His music contains elements of jazz, R&B, soul, and hip hop.
In 2010 Epic Records A&R Jo Charrington confirmed that Blacc had signed with Epic for the UK and Ireland.
He partnered with the Truth & Soul Productions crew for 2010′s more organic effort Good Things. The album featured the hit single I Need a Dollar along with a cover version of the Velvet Underground’s Femme Fatale.~ Marisa Brown, Rovi
