Musician, singer and songwriter Billy Mayfield formed R&B, Soul and Funk
band "The Soul Truth with Billy Mayfield" more than seven years ago. In
that time, the band has grown from local act to one that has performed
at nationally televised events. The South Truth has performed at
nationally televised NBA and WNBA games. The Band is also comfortable
performing in more intimate settings, including
Madam's Organ and larger events
like Hoop Dreams Scholarship Fund Winter Gala and their annual three on
three basketball tournament. The Soul Truth is best known for its
renditions of Rhythm and Blues and Funk classics.

Before singing lead vocals and playing guitar and keyboards with
his band The Soul Truth, Mayfield sang in church since the age
of four years old and all through Elementary and High school.
Since moving to the DC area in 1987 Billy Mayfield has performed
with The Capitol Centre Quintet. The Cappella group was a
featured half time act at NBA games in Washington, DC. Mayfield
also sang the Star Spangled Banner at countless NBA basketball
games. He also had a blues band back in the early 90's called
"The Chosen Few."
"I've had a very blessed musical life I've shared the stage
with some great players. The best is yet to come."

His fans agree - "Mayfield doesn't just make eye contact, he
wants to take you away from it all work, home and just enjoy some good
music."

When Mayfield isn't performing with The Soul Truth, he can often
be seen Performing with other bands. In October 2001, Mayfield
traveled to Tono, Japan for the American Music Festival
www.TonoArts.org as the
bass guitarist with gospel group and composer Minister Melvin
Bryant and Agape. He's also performed in Melbourne and Port Sea,
Australia in the year 2000. Mayfield can also be seen at times
performing with friends for local and national Charity events
such as the Daniel Pearl memorial fund raiser.
It's because of his versatility that Mayfield is a "man for all
occasions." His passion for the stage and performance electrifies any
bar, nightclub or restaurant. Even a shift in venue doesn't stop the
accolades. Wherever he sings -- corporate functions, festivals or
openings for recording artists -- guests keep begging for more. Mayfield
is working on his first solo CD project, "It's not the world it's the
people." Which should be available in mid September 2004 Until then …. |
