His trademark instrument is a green composite acoustic guitar, and he is known for having rock-solid rhythm and you've-got-to-see-it-to-believe-it stage presence. What do you get when you mix a little bit of heartache, a touch of Jameson and a healthy dose of soul? Symone French, born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. Symone's earliest memories are of her parent's eclectic tastes in music. Her father, a collector of vinyl records, encouraged her musical exploration early on by introducing her to acts such as Steely Dan, Hall & Oats and Bonnie Raitt. Her mother, a product of the 70s, helped develop French's love of soul by adding Teena Marie, Donna Summer and Prince to the mix. Those influences cultivated the sound that audiences across the Gulf Coast have come to identify with French's diverse stage show.
