'There is something almost superhuman about the range and technique of
Bobby McFerrin,' says Newsweek. 'He sounds, by turns, like a blackbird, a
Martian, an operatic soprano, a small child, and a bebop trumpet.' But
despite the undeniable uniqueness of his gift, Bobby’s music is always
accessible and inviting. When he invites his fans to sing along, as he
almost always does, few can resist. Inclusiveness, play, and the
universality of voices raised together in song are at the heart of
Bobby’s art.
Bobby McFerrin was exposed to a multitude of musical genres
during his youth–classical, R&B, jazz, pop and world musics. 'When
you grow up with that hodgepodge of music, it just comes out. It was
like growing up in a multilingual house,' he says. Bobby McFerrin
continues to explore the musical universe, known and unknown. Drawing on
all genres, demonstrating matchless improvisational skills, he never
fails to dazzle.
He never seems to run out of new ideas, and he loves
having no clue what’s going to happen next. Ask him where he went to
school, and he just might tell you that he is a graduate of MSU: Making
Stuff Up. 'Music for me,' McFerrin says, 'is like a spiritual journey
down into the depths of my soul. And I like to think we’re all on a
journey into our souls. What’s down there? That’s why I do what I do.'
