Asid e from being a Grammy-nominated R&B singer, he's also a painter, a vid eographer, a DJ and a bit of a pool shark. His most recent obsession? Biking. While on tour in Australia last year, Dwele was having trouble sleeping, and found himself perusing the Internet in the middle of th e night. He saw a bicycle he liked, remembered he hadn't ridden one si nce he was a kid and ordered it to be shipped to his Corktown loft. By the time he got home, it still hadn't arrived, so he went and bought one. Then he bought another one, and another one. He now owns six bike s. So go ahead and add avid biker to his resume. \"I keep a lot on my plate,\" says Dwele, relaxing last week in the lobby of the Westin Boo k Cadillac in downtown Detroit. He laughs. \"Maybe I've got ADHD.\"\nB ut he can still buckle down and focus his attention when he needs to. Earlier this year, he holed up in a Greektown studio and recorded his fifth album, \"Greater Than One.\" The set will be released on Tuesday .\nThe album finds Dwele — born Andwele Gardner on Valentine's Day, 1978, on Detroit's west side — in a 1980s space. He noticed the '80s influence seeping in around four songs into the album, and decided to keep it going. He describes the album, which was originally titled \" Greater Than One, Less Than Three,\" as \"where I'm at right now.\"\n\ "I'm 34, and I definitely feel comfortable right now,\" says Dwele. He 's sporting a salmon colored shirt with the sleeves rolled up, jeans a nd a pair of black Air Jordan retro 3s. He's sipping on a glass of Det roit tap water he describes glowingly as \"flavorful.\"\n\"I feel like I'm coming into my name with this album,\" he says, a tiny patch of g ray hair peeking through the front of his 'do. \"I feel comfortable, I feel cool, I feel grown. I think that's what this album is: It's cool , it's grown, it's comfy.\"\nWhat it's not is trendy or desperate. Dwe le's smooth R&B with a hip-hop edge helped pave the way for current ar tists like Frank Ocean and the Weeknd, who comfortably straddle the R& B and hip-hop landscapes. But Dwele isn't reacting to the world around him or trying to keep up with the kids — he refuses to dye that pat ch of gray hair, even though it's given his management team a few gray hairs of their own — and instead stays locked into his own groove.\ n- The Detroit News, August 23, 2012\n\nFor more information visit htt p://trueskool.com/events/dwele DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20120921T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20120923T210000 CATEGORIES:"bay area", oakland, "san francisco" LOCATION:Yoshi's, Oakland WEBSITE:http://yoshis.inticketing.com/evlist.php?events=search&searchs tr=dwele&smonth=0&sday=0&syear=0&vstate=0 URL:http://yoshis.inticketing.com/evlist.php?events=search&searchstr=d wele&smonth=0&sday=0&syear=0&vstate=0 CONTACT:510.238.9200 ORGANIZER;CN="Editor's Pick":http://trueskool.com/profile/RentheVinylA rchaeologist ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2247931598?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN=asatahj:h ttp://trueskool.com/profile/asatahj ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Randy La u":http://trueskool.com/profile/RandyLau ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Eric Tar ter":http://trueskool.com/profile/EricTarter ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Angela N ":http://trueskool.com/profile/AngelaN ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Brian Fr ancisco":http://trueskool.com/profile/BrianFrancisco ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN=Krystle:h ttp://trueskool.com/profile/Krystle ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Annias B ernstine":http://trueskool.com/profile/AnniasBernstine ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN=Bethrie:h ttp://trueskool.com/profile/Bethrie ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Editor's Pick":http://trueskool.com/profile/RentheVinylArchaeologist ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="PRESIDE NTIAL SUITE RECORDS":http://trueskool.com/profile/PRESIDENTIALSUITEREC ORDS END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
