A new r&b/pop artist is blazing his own unique path into the industry, trying to accomplish something new and groundbreaking.
An up-and-coming r&b/pop artist and his co-producer are working on their first album and need your help!
My goal as an artist is not to be another flame-out mainstream performer. My producer and I are attempting something very unique that we feel has never been accomplished in the industry. This industry has so many perceptions of what it means to be an artist and who can do what type of music. Musicians in the industry have one look, image, music style, and specific fan-base. What I want to do is plant the seeds for something larger-a mainstream artist with a duality in his style that he would wear right on his sleeve in terms of image and music style. Two distinct images, two different music styles, and the ability to bridge the gab between the younger music audience and a more mature crowd. The album would be split into two halves. One side would be the produced, mainstream sound that would be the radio-quality product that the mainstream industry expects. The other half of the album would be the identical songs done in a stripped down, simple, un-produced, almost singer-songwriter vibe.
My team and I believe this could be the forefront of something huge, something that has never been done before, and we want for you to join us. I want to be someone who makes a lasting impact on the industry, an artist who stands for something more than himself. It's not only time for another mainstream Caucasian r&b artist, but it's also time for someone who can begin to bridge the gap between genres and age-groups, and show people that perceptions can, and should, be broken. Please help us make this happen and be a part of this with us!
