biographies:
Unlimited formed in December 1999 originally as a collection of musicians
and singers for a private function. Once they played that first time they realized
they had caught lightning in a bottle! One week later they made their debut at
Billy's Place and lightning continued to strike again and again. And the rest,
as they say, is history. The skills honed in the club setting quickly translated
into electrifying stage shows featured on several festivals including
Lexington's Roots and Heritage Festival and Waterfront Soul and Funk Fest.
Some Artists they have shared the stage with include Frankie Beverly and
Maze, Average White Band, SOS Band, Midnight Star, Dennis Edwards, The
Emotions, KC and the Sunshine Band, Kim Waters, Nappy Roots, Lakeside,
Parliament Funkadellic and the legendary Al Green.

A member since inception, Don continues to sing with a
sultry golden tone that defies belief. If you were to place
Kem, Luther Vandross and Frankie Beverly's voice in one
person, you would have "Donto"! His percussive grooves
make you just want to dance.

As half of the original keyboard tandem in Unlimited,
Leronda continues to wow audiences with her accurate and
articulate keyboard style. Initially Classically trained, her
musical influences now also include Alex Bugnon and Joe
McBride.

Eliot is also an original member of Unlimited. He admires
Everard Thompson (his older brother), Victor Wooten (who
doesn't?), Deron Seals and Marcus Miller. The energy and
motion he brings to the stage show has often been
compared to Verdine White.

As an original member, Floyd's unprecedented drum roll
lead in was the first sound ever made by Unlimited, and he
continues to bring the funk to the stage like no other. His
solid rhythm laden sounds are the very pulse of the band.
You can hear the influence of Dave Weckle and Dennis
Chambers

Jacques is the latest addition to Unlimited, but the effects of
his presence can not be overlooked. His smooth cords and
amazing solos leave audiences speechless! He has
toured extensively and thankfully has settled here in
Louisville. His influences range from George Benson to
Jimi Hendrix.
