About 7 Day Visa
7 Day Visa (7DV) is the brainchild of artist/producer Jamahl Richardson (Natural Fact). It is the result of a lifelong passion for music, travel and excitement. For Jamahl, the three always seemed to go hand in hand. This began back in 2000 on an extended visit to the city of Guadalajara, Mexico. He was unexpectedly called on stage without warning. Although completely unprepared, his pride as an artist helped him rise to the occasion. He rocked the crowd using broken Spanish and English freestyles over the pulsating rhythms of the resident Samba band. The stage was nothing new, but the challenge of being in a completely foreign place was. Returning from the trip, he found that his musical creativity went through an explosive transformation. As is the case with most people who travel, the sights, sounds and experiences had changed him forever. Tokyo, the first of the 7DV series, transforms the sights, sounds, people and experiences of Jamahl's first trip to Japan’s capital into an exciting, emotion filled, electro-acoustic adrenaline ride. Traveling to Tokyo for the first time as a performer with "The Shanghai Restoration Project," Jamahl found himself awestruck by the high-tech, highly evolved hustle and bustle of the city, the all night, underground mega-clubs, contrasted with the tranquility of the sacred Shinto and Buddhist traditions. This project tastefully fuses pulsating rhythms and the simple, yet refreshing melodies of the subways and vending machines, into trance inducing soundscapes that allow the mind to wonder, such as the inebriated party goers who exit clubs early mornings in Shibuya and Roppongi. The result is Tokyo, 7 Day Visa, an audio time capsule forever connecting the people, places and memories of 7 days in a megatropolis called Tokyo.
