His deep baritone vocals sit perfectly on multi-instrumental productions for beautifully soulful music.

The father of neo-soul has a career spanning over 3 decades, garnering wide respect within the worlds of soul, jazz, funk and R&B.Read more
Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story
written and presented by Dylan Kaeuper and William Grice In 1889 Texas, Cody and Beau have one goal: to become cowboys. From the safety of their shared bedroom, gunfights blaze and outlaw legends come alive. But when the boys plot an escape into the desert, the reality of the West proves far more complex than their magazine-fed fantasies. What begins as a wild ride toward freedom unfolds into a tender, searching exploration of masculinity, friendship, and the darker truths buried in Americas past. Fresh from an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh and Dundee Fringe, Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story returns for a limited London run with a bold reimagining of boyhood and the myths we inherit. Dylan and Will have been performing together since childhood. Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story was their debut production as collaborators. They set out to create something with an innocent and playful energy, before asking the audience to confront something darker the Wild West.
