So sad to hear of Alfred "P*e Wee" Ellis passing. A true legend and gentle soul who's influence changed music forever. As 's bandleader P*e Wee Ellis co-wrote over 20 songs incl “Cold Sweat” and “Say It Loud - I’m Black and I’m Proud.

Born out of our shared passions for music, photography and film, we created 'The Influence Project' 4 years ago. Over this time, we have been privileged to capture the portraits of over 100 artists.. both 'still' and 'moving' including; George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Bill Withers, Roy Ayers, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Public Enemy, The Roots, Anderson .Paak, Robert Glasper and many others.
Working together with these Legends has been a huge honour. All have participated without fees, but with a belief that our project is something important and something that has not been done before.
The exhibition tells stories through music, portraiture and film at the same time as documenting musical history. The experience is visually stunning, educational and uplifting with live music events programmed each week. It has had glowing reviews from both press and visitors so far!
We are now hoping to find like minded Patrons with vision to help support 'The Influence Project' so we can continue including more artists such as; Chaka Khan, Mary J Blige, Smokey Robinson, Sly Stone, Stevie Wonder, D'Angelo, Aretha Franklin, Sade... Our list is so long!! We also want to publish a book to accompany the next exhibition and ultimately tour, bringing the exhibition to major cities in Europe, America and Worldwide.
The last 4 years have been extraordinary! and humbling... They have also been full of music, hard work and relentless dedication to get to this point. We have many ideas and stories we would love to share with you if you decide to get involved and join our creative journey.
