About

Born to Panamanian parents in Los Angeles in 1979, E. Nathaniel Dawkins (aka Aloe Blacc) first began playing trumpet in elementary school, an instrument he continued throughout high school. There he also independently released Imaginary Friends, produced by DJ Exile, with whom he would go on to form the hip-hop group Emanon. While at college at USC, though his artistic endeavors were placed behind his scholastic goals, Aloe still managed to learn how to play the guitar and the piano, and after graduating and spending some time in the corporate world, he decided to return to his first love, music. In 2005 Emanon's full-length debut, The Waiting Room, came out on Shaman Works, and the next year his first solo album, Shine Through, a combination of neo-soul and Latin music, was released on Stones Throw. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi

    Aloe Blacc an Extra Special entertainer

    by MNichols on 5/26/14Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    I knew a few songs from the radio. Not knowing anything else about Aloe Blacc, my daughter and I decided to go to the show on Friday night. It started out slowly, with everyone seated, listening to his amazingly soulful voice. Then it kicked into a higher gear with the first few notes of "I'm the Man" followed by "Wake Me Up." The crowd was on their feet dancing. He followed with a few more upbeat songs from his older album, and the encore was unbelievable! His version of California Dreamin' (that reminds he and his band of home), followed by a bluesy "Billie Jean" tore the house down. After two hours we were so upbeat, the hour drive home seemed like no time at all. Talented musicians and an amazing performer, who laid it all out there for us.

    Aloe Blacc is the man

    by Musicl0ve on 5/26/14Emerald Queen Casino - Tacoma

    It's so refreshing to find a musician that has soul and passion and just spreads the love for what he does. He doesn't need to use swear words or provocative things he just has soul. I absolutely loved this performance. It was a great night of amazing music and talent that I would recommend anyone to see!

    Aloe Blacc is AWESOME!

    by DeejDeej on 8/10/12Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    Great live performer. His voice is wonderful, his dance moves were great, he had the crowd split into a soul train line (and was successful!), he had a great set list, and he also played a LOT of songs. His band was sick too--sax, trumpet, keys, guitar and bass, and of course the drums! The opening act was a local group, which I thought was really cool, and I knew nothing about them but they were also great live.

    Aloe killed it. His voice live is just as good as it is on his album. Awesome performer, kept the crowd going.

    Good

    by Blackcat3 on 8/10/12Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    The concert was great. especially the music was just what I thought, smooth, funky ,soulful, Groovy. I love his voice and his performance. I hope to see more artist from Stones Throw Records, such as Dam-funk, DOOM,Madlib. It's not all about hiphop music or black music, for me it is about music that gives you the feeling, the emotion, and everything you deserve.

    Aloe Blacc Performs an Unforgettable Show!

    by FabMack on 7/30/12Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    Excellent performance, superb voice, and great stage presence. His show promotes good feelings and a positive vibe. He performs with a live band which is equally talented. Solid R&B music with a jazzy vibe and strong voice. I'll see him again next time he's in town. If you don't go you'll miss out.

    Soul Man Remastered!

    by Lex21 on 10/29/11El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles

    Aloe Blacc was the consummate performer last Saturday night. His voice is enough to leave a person in awe alone, but he also has a great stage presence and energy!

    Amazing performer

    by Gdeeaz on 10/28/11El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles

    My best friend and I saw Aloe Blacc at the El Rey is Los Angeles and it was a fabulous show. His opening act was Joel Van Dijk and Special Force. I had never heard of them before but I really enjoyed them and will be listening to them from now on. Aloe Blacc is great. He puts on a great show and just has a ton of energy. I really like how he interacts with his band and how they all have their moments to shine. He also had a special guest with him. I believe her name was Myra. They performed new song they worked on together. Aloe Blacc is someone who I would go see over and over again. I highly recommend you go see his show. Even if you aren't a fan of his, you will become one.

    Aloe Blacc rocked!

    by ggordon77 on 10/27/11El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles

    Great live music. Aloe's voice was silky smooth Soul R&B and his band sounded great and laid down grooving music. Aloe is really talented, a great performer and is a professional when it comes to his craft of entertaining the audience.

    Aloe Blacc Dance Party!!

    by BSlo on 10/26/11El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles

    This was my first time seeing Aloe Blacc & with tickets that cheap along with loving his album- I had to see him! Aloe had the whole theater dancing, whether alone or with your friends or partner. He is an amazingly talented vocalist and the bands good vibes 'n funk added to the good feelings all night! The dance party he encouraged in the center of the theater was entertaining to watch as well. Definitely my favorite interactive show seen this year!!

    Smokin'

    by fishsauceboy on 9/10/11Brighton Music Hall - Boston

    I went to this show unfamaliar with Aloe Blacc. My two girls with me already knew his music. The band came out started a quick jam that got the place movin' Soon Aloe Blacc got on stage and took over. The man can sing and dance. He and his band were smokin' . His smooth R&B sound mixed with a bit of hip hop got me. The band backing up were tight. Through out the show all the members got a solo and every one hit it. By the end of the show I was sweaty and tired from groovin to the music. I will make it a point to add Aloe Blacc to listening rotation.

    aloe blacc new soul sensation

    by rumcity on 9/10/11Brighton Music Hall - Boston

    aloe black put on a great performance that had the crowd dancing, clapping, and singing along. It was a short show, since he only has one album out, but it was great from start to finish.

    Simply Incredible

    by LadyExcel on 9/8/11Brighton Music Hall - Boston

    Aloe Blacc is the best performer I've seen in a long time! The energy he and his band brought to the stage was incredible. It didn't feel like a concert, it felt like a party. The venue was the prefect size, intimate but big enough to sing and dance along, and believe me, everyone one was singing and dancing to his songs! His voice was incredible! There was no way you couldn't enjoy yourself in that atmosphere!

    He's gonna be big.

    by BigFan07 on 9/7/11The Club at Stage AE - Pittsburgh

    One of the most gratifying concerts I've ever been to. Reminiscent of Marvin Gaye and Al Green with a modern feel.

    Great entertainer!

    by TheSpanishGhost on 5/25/11The Music Box - Hollywood

    Didn't get a chance to check out the earlier acts but what I did see was great. Aloe Blacc in concert is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. The crowd was great and into the show. Aloe is an amazing entertainer and would feed of the energy. The entire band was on point as well as Aloe. One of the better shows i have seen in a long time!

    Modern day Marvin Gaye

    by musicfolife on 5/24/11The Music Box - Hollywood

    My first time seeing him in concert. Definitely not my last! Me and my friends thought he danced and sounded smooth. When he sung 'You make me smile' it really touched me. He's an awesome singer and overall entertainer. The band ...The Grand Scheme...was very talented too!!
