After three studio albums, a #1 hit with Street Life in 2007, several years of touring and performing famous Jazz venues and festivals around the world such as the Dubai Jazz Festival, the Capital Jazz Festival, Catalina Jazz Trax, etc., U-Nam has not only won the hearts of Jazz audiences, but has acquired great respect and credibility as a performer and virtuoso guitarist. In the words of none other than George Benson, "The man known as U-Nam, is destined to become one of the most controversial musicians. In the few recordings that I have heard, there is conviction, making himself felt by
the general public, and the critics alike. It's great to have a new voice on the guitar scene; one that is loaded with energy and excitement."
