With more than 15 years of experience, Harada blends grooves from today???s rap and R&B stars???Common, Talib Kweli and Mary J. Blige???with those of such soul greats as Marvin Gaye and James Brown. ???It???s all about the tempo, figuring out which songs actually go together by matching the beats???like a drummer playing along to a band???s music,??? says Harada.
