Hart RamseyHart Ramsey: Charge It To My Heart

(N-Coded Music; Oct. 26, 2010)

"From my early years of playing keyboards in R&B bands through my years of producing gospel artists, I've always loved the sound & feel of Contemporary Jazz. While contemplating my next musical direction I walked into the studio intending to create therapeutic melodies that would speak to the listener's heart. The result was a pleasant blend of songs that I call Charge It To My Heart. Listen closely because melodies don't lie!"



Sought after producer, keyboardist, engineer, and songwriter Hart Ramsey takes his talents to center stage with the release of his debut album Charge It to My Heart via N-Coded Music. The album is co-produced by bassist Sean Michael Ray (Maxwell, John Waite, Alex Bugnon, Dionne Farris) and features Eric Essix, Phil Davis,Kelley O'Neal, and Rick Watford.

Charge It to My Heart is a Contemporary Jazz offering that blends unconventional harmonies and beautiful melodies making for a memorable musical journey reminiscent of greats such as Kirk Whalum and Jonathan Butler. Hart Ramsey will release "Centerpiece" as the lead single which according to The Urban Music Scene, "features more aggressive and distinct production work" and shows "just how fresh and creative Ramsey is as a musician and producer."
