Kenny Dixon Jr.,[4] better known by his stage name Moodymann, is an American musician based in Detroit, Michigan.[5] He is the owner of the record labels Mahogani Music and KDJ Records.[6] He is a member of 3 Chairs.[7]
Career[edit]
In 1997, Moodymann released his debut album, Silentintroduction, on Planet E Communications.[8] It compiled the previously released tracks from his own KDJ Records.[9] He released Mahogany Brown in 1998,[10]Forevernevermore in 2000,[11] and Silence in the Secret Garden in 2003.[12]
In 2012, he released Picture This as a free download.[13] It was followed by ABCD in 2013.[14] In 2014, he released the self-titled album, Moodymann.[15]
Style and influences[edit]
Moodymann is considered to have 'developed hybrid modes of recording and performance incorporating analog and digital media—the playing of 'real' instruments with 'pushing buttons live'.'[16]
Personal life[edit]
In January 2019, Moodymann released a video on Instagram, which he later removed, showing the Highland Park police holding him at gunpoint in his parked car, on his property.[17] The Highland Park police department released a statement saying that during the incident, Moodymann did not show proof of ownership of the property or even an ID, which led to the arrest.[18] Moodymann was later released after an investigation showing that he was indeed the owner of the property.[18]
