Bobby McFerrin’s MOTION

MOTION, a collective of masterful vocalists and facilitators dedicated to the transformational potential of improvised sound. In 2021, Bobby McFerrin asked David Worm to bring together singers to play and improvise together. Bryan Dyer, David Worm, and Destani Wolf have joined Bobby on stage and in the studio, creating songs in the moment, facilitating Circlesinging, harmonizing and connecting their intuitive voices weekly for 4 years as the band MOTION. They continue to perform and create vocal community space to honor healing and peace, every Monday at The Freight in Berkeley.

The Bay Area has been washed in the powerful and heart felt vocals of each member of acapella band MOTION since they started their musical journeys in their hometowns of Berkeley, Oakland, and Los Altos Hills. Bryan Dyer, David Worm, and Destani Wolf’s individual paths have taken them around the globe, recording and performing with the best. From Quincy Jones, Michael McDonald, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, The Pharcyde, John Cale, on Grammy nominated albums to vocal collaborations with multidisciplinary arts such as Cirque du Soleil, Robert Moses Kin, Bandaloop, Tandy Beal and Axis Dance. Besides their voices and compositions being including in TV and film (Disney’s “The Descendants”, HBO’s “Momentum Generation”, “Set up” Benjamin Bratt’s “The Mission”, Kevin Harts: “Laugh at my Pain”, FOX’s “SYTYCD” and more) they are veteran acapella vocalists dedicated to using their voices to empower and inspire hope and create positive change in their communities and worldwide.
