It's Cool: Lord Echo and "Just Do You"

New Zealand native Lord Echo, who also goes by the name of Mike Fabulous (real name Mike August), brings us today's random tune called Just Do You. Exposed to music by his mom early in life, August learned to play ukulele and guitar at age 10, and currently his main instruments are guitar and bass with dabblings in percussion, keys and drums. He had a short stint studying music composition at Victoria University in Wellington before getting interested in reggae and performing with The Black Seeds. After 15 years with them, he moved on to do his own solo work. You can find Just Do You, a song that manages to be both funky and chill, on Lord Echo's 2017 album Harmonies. The song features Mara TK, another New Zealand musician, on vocals.
