This pan-cultural music has a way of making people "feel" something wherever on the earth they're from. AO music is a complete hybrid of universal expression, unlike anything ever produced, and appeals to all ages in all genres of preference. Gannaway & Oliver grew up in St. Louis, MO. They met in 1988 & moved to the Los Angeles area in 1989... They began working on the AO project in 1996...
