Biography
Kashif, a pioneering figure in post-disco R&B, blended commercial appeal with progressive soundscapes through the '80s, influencing a generation of producers. Born Michael Jones in Harlem in 1956, he overcame a turbulent childhood through music, honing his skills as a multi-instrumentalist before making a mark with B.T. Express and later as a solo artist. His synth-based productions for artists like Evelyn King and Melba Moore redefined R&B in the early '80s, earning him critical acclaim and Grammy nominations.
Transitioning from a successful solo career to music education and publishing, Kashif's impact continued beyond his '80s heyday. He left a lasting legacy in the industry through teaching, writing, and his final solo releases, solidifying his status as a trailblazer in R&B until his passing in 2016.
