Picture
Turn the Horns On is the powerful, poignant, and gripping life story of Steven " Akili " Walker a young African American drummer and his quest in the 1970’s to conquer his dream to become a successful recording engineer in a industry dominated by white males. This up-close and personal account of sex, drugs, and redemption takes you on a revealing tour behind the scenes in New York City studios and on the road with some of America's greatest music legends; James Brown, Prince, Eddie Kendricks, George Clinton, Humble Pie, Cameo, LL Cool J, Ahmad Jamal, Kurtis Blow, Rev Run (Run DMC) and Russell Simmons, amid a long list of hit making producers and commercial music masters while enduring a twenty year long battle with cocaine, unrequited love, damaged relationships, and the impact of notoriety as one of the pioneering contributors who helped structure and paved the way for Hip Hop.
