Alson Levere Farley Jr., is a Harlem, New York born musician, singer, producer, teacher, speaker and soon to be author. From an early age, Alson found himself drawn to anything musical. He owes his affinity for music to his mother, who planted the seed.  She would take him to see the New York philharmonic weekly. The first instrument Alson started playing was the drums, like his father.  By the age of five, he gravitated towards the guitar and finally learned how to play the piano by 10. Playing the piano seemed to come naturally to Alson, and the ironic thing was, he did not have a piano to practice on at home. He would jump on the organ after church services on Sunday and begin to play. The congregants were amazed at his musicality, but the church organist admonished him about playing the organ one day.  Alson was crushed and disheartened to know he could no longer play on the organ, so he decided to ask his dad for a keyboard.  His dad agreed and bought him a little Casio keyboard, and the rest is history. For the next 30+ years, Alson served in various capacities in the music field. Having much experience as a Church music director, he found ways to weave multiple music genres, like music from around the world, Broadway musicals, jazz, and classical music, into "his" form of gospel music. It's an eclectic mixture and a sound to behold, especially when done on a Hammond organ.
