O'Jive Faction is a trio of multi-instrumentalists proficient on keyboards, bass, percussion and vocals. Musical influences and inspirations include Gospel, Jazz, Fusion and Latin greats the likes of Milton Brunson, Fred Hammond, Douglas Miller, Russ Taff, Walter and Edwin Hawkins, Michael W. Smith, Koinonia, David Sanborn, Chick Corea, Jaco Pastorius, John Patitucci, Victor Wooten, Tom Scott, Arturo Sandoval, Ricky Peterson and many others. Our vocal dynamics and stylings are influences by Russ Taff, Larnelle Harris, Fred Hammond, Bob Carlisle and many others. We've recently ministered and performed in several Christian venues, and have been guest percussionists for the California Desert Chorale. We merge our love for Jazz, Soul, Fusion, and Latin music into our passion for worshiping God through these influences as gracefully or aggressively as possible. O'Jive Faction is lead by Eddie Gonzalez, who produced his first CD titled, " I Won't Let Go " in his home studio in 2004.
