ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Author, Attorney and Entrepreneur, A.J. Tavares is an award-winning writer of music history and reference books. The Washington D.C. native gained an eclectic appreciation for music via exposure to the diverse D.C. music scene of the 1980’s and 90’s which was filled with vibrant Hip-hop, Go-Go, Rock and Punk communities. He spent the latter part of the 1990’s travelling the U.S., soaking up the various musical styles and collecting stories about the popular songs and artists from each region. Twenty years later in the throngs of the 90’s R&B resurgence he decided to research and update the stories and publish them. That 90’s Vibe, Stories From the Last Great Decade of R&B is the first of his R&B book series.
