Andwele Gardner (born February 14, 1978), better known by his stage name Dwele is an American soul singer, songwriter and record producer from Detroit, Michigan.
Biography
Gardner was raised on the west side of Detroit in a musical family. He played piano from the age of six, later taking up trumpet, bass and guitar. He was deeply affected by the fatal shooting of his father outside his home when he was age ten, later stating "I learned to put my emotions into music; it was my therapy." He cites Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Roy Ayers, Miles Davis, and Freddie Hubbard as favorite artists, and took inspiration from hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, becoming an MC, and working with Slum Village.
Gardner recorded a demo in his bedroom, called, The Rize, and sold it out of the trunk of his car. He had about 100 copies, which sold out within a week. He caught the ears of local heroes Slum Village and more specifically their world-renowned producer J Dilla.Slum Village invited Dwele to sing the hook of the song "Tainted" for their album Trinity (Past, Present and Future). It became an instant classic and led to more high profile work with female rapper Bahamadia, the all-star group Lucy Pearl and London's New Sector Movement. Dwele signed to Virgin Records in 2003, and the label released his debut album, Subject, which mixed neo soul and hip hop.

Static Expressions
by: Tilly & The WallIt's enough, by myself, I can't even hold it all together
Wanna run, let it out, but the conversation pulls me back
So I'm hanging on, to a pale medium
All the words are wrong
Out the air, coming too fast
I can remember
Through all the clashing voices
Just how it happened
And now it's static expressions
We can not stay this way forever
We can not stay this way forever
Come between, no routine
And the feeling that there's no desire
Wanna run, let it out, how we ever come to stand so still?
And I'm hanging on, pull the thread, hide the eye
All the words are wrong
Out the air, coming too fast
I can remember
Through all the clashing voices
Just how it happened
And now it's static expressions
We can not stay this way forever
We can not stay this way forever
We can not stay this way forever
We can not stay this way forever
We can not stay this way forever
We can not stay this way forever
We can not stay this way forever
We can not stay this way
I can remember
Through all the clashing voices
Just how it happened
And now it's static expressions
I can remember
Through all the clashing voices
Just how it happened
