From Heatwave to Lakeside and The Ohio Players, Byron Byrd shares his admiration of Dayton Ohio's esteemed musical history and how it made him into the funky and innovative musician he went on to be throughout his career in a 2017 chat with The Funk Center.

Since the release of his band's 1976 LP "Wanna Make Love" which was sampled to make later classics by the likes of Pete Rock, Da Beatminerz and Large Professor, Byron has evolved from musician into much more which is likely to inspire anyone who is looking to break out of the box in their career and life. Watch and be inspired by this Funk pioneer who is still willing to Live On, Dream On.
