Ray Robinson's Exclusive Interview on UrbanMusicBuzz

Tune in to an exclusive, "Don't Stop" interview with r&b artist Ray Robinson on Thursday, October 27th at 9PM (eastern time).

Ray Robs Birthday Celebration Poster

R'n'B music is blessed to have artists like Canadian singer Ray Robinson on their team. R'n'B remains the music we rely on to caress our souls, set the mood for love, and make us feel grown'n'sexy. Ray's voice, along with his song writing and production skills will be keeping us movin' and groovin' for many years to come.

Ray Robinson was born into a generation that is defined by music. He grew up humbly in Toronto, and discovered his ear for music at the tender age of five. Of Caribbean heritage, Ray shared the same musical upbringing of most who hail from the islands, with his fondest memories being those of listening to the soul and gospel records his Mom would play. Eventually learning to memorize the lyrics to one of his strongest influences - Micheal Jackson's Music and Me, Ray spent his childhood quietly developing his voice and feeding his growing appetite for music. When he got a little older, Ray relocated to New York where the story of turning dreams into reality began. As part of a group known as "DL" formed when Ray was just in high school, they took to the club circuit including the famous Apollo theatre in Harlem where the world would start to see the talent that permeated Ray and his group members. Discovered by Bob Waxman and Donald "Dee" Bowden (most known for his work with 90's R'n'B group SWV), the doors to a professional career in singing opened up.

In 90's, Ray decided to branch out on his own, and he moved back to his beloved Toronto, Canada where he juggled music and real life to make a living. Ray's independent approach to managing his music and business led him to create and compile the content of what became the "What It Is" album with support only from producer Kevin "Kid Kut" Keith (formerly of the Baby Blue Soundcrew, currently of X-Caliber Entourage). On his journey to self-promote the album, he met the woman who later became his manager, Gail E. Phillip of GNOTE MANAGEMENT. Armed with solid production, impeccable vocal delivery and excellent promotional support from his new management team, Ray Robinson's "What it Is" album went on to receive critical acclaim helping him to garner the 2004 (CUMA) Canadian Urban Music Award for R'n'B Recording Artist of the year. Ray Robinson along with Canadian hip-hop superstar Kardinal Offishall won 3 Much Music Videos Awards in 2006 for the single "Every Day Rude Bwoy". His past nominations include Best R'n'B Video (Much Music Video Awards 2004) for his first single Missed Your Chance, New Artist (CUMA 2004), and Favourite Urban Artist (Canadian Music Week Independent Awards 2005). His album "What It Is", received a Juno Nomination in 2004 for R&B Album of the Year.

Ray boasts a collection of tracks that have wet our palette for his unique blend of soul, gospel and straight up R'n'B with songs like : Good Times, Missed Ur Chance, Be the One, My Heart, Because of You, Girl friend, Be Alone, Summer Star, Gotta Move It, and Waiting for You. But there is much more to this multi-faceted artist whose musical influences also include Donnie Hathaway and Sam Cooke. Ray, who has a strong connection to the church and humanitarian efforts, didn't always want to be an entertainer. Having found his passion in both music and giving back to the community, look out for Ray's involvement in projects with kids in group homes and helping to keep kids off the streets.

The stage is set, and Ray is ready to open up a new musical chapter in his life, having spent a lot of time back in the studio preparing to drop new gems on us. He is poised and ready to inject new life into the R'n'B scene, so don't close your eyes for a minute. In his own words, "Nothing can stop you, but YOU". Looks like Ray's not going to let anything stop him now.

Duane Howard Interview Launched this Sunday 9 PM (Eastern Time).

R&b artist Duane Howard releases his very HOT single, "Gimme Your Body" from his upcoming EP entitled "Blue Light" about year after he won a HOT 97 Monse's Sunday night showcase.

Recently, this soulful artist was interviewed on UrbanMusicBuzz and Duane's interview will be aired on Sunday night (eastern time) at 9 pm.

You wouldn't want to miss an exciting interview with Duane Howard.

R&B Artist Duane Howard To Release EP “Blue Light”

Pop/R&B Recording Artist Duane Howard To Release EP “Blue Light”

Sep 09, 2011 - New York, NY -Almost one year after winning Hot 97 Monse's Sunday Night Showcase, Duane Howard is set to independently release his first EP October 11, 2011 entitled “Blue Light” and 1st single “Gimme Your Body” in late September which deemed Duane as the new artist to look out for.

The Hot 97 Monse's Sunday Night Showcase held November 21, 2010, was set-up similar to the very popular American Idol television series where several live performance competitions would end up with a runner up followed by one winner. The winner was to receive a meeting with E1 Records, a free music submission to Digiwax, and the opportunity to have your song professionally mixed and mastered by Tainted Blue Studios. Though E1 Records was impressed with Duane, both Duane's management and E1 agreed that Duane would need more development. “Gimme Your Body,” the song that ultimately helped Duane to win the showcase, was played several times post Duane's win and several DJ's requested the mastered material. Duane's management decided to hold off on releasing the actual song.

After quickly seeking out a powerhouse development team, the 22-year-old singer who wrote and co-produced several songs from his EP “Blue Light” is now fully ready to embark on a full fledge campaign to R&B/Pop stardom. “Blue Light” is a personal journey of melodic memoirs that signify Duane’s journey to musical success. As many relate to red as stop, green to go, and yellow to slow down, a blue light represents the luminous energy and path in which only Duane follows. Though most of the songs on Duane's EP reflect a more playful and seductive Duane Howard, the title track “Blue Light” optimally reflects that in which it is titled, while vocally expressing the passion in which only true talent can possess.

Versatile as he is talented, Duane has the ability to hypnotize people of all ages and backgrounds. His music is to be viewed as a coalescence of various experiences, times, emotions, and moods. Duane is currently in talks to sign with production and imprint label Tastemaker Music, founded by multi-platinum producer Chad Beatz. No stranger to producing hit records; Chad Beatz has produced records, singles, and remixes for: Jim Jones, Ashanti, 50 Cent, Robin Thicke, Twista, Talib Kweli, Mobb Deep, Olivia, Cassie Ventura, Tiffany Evans, Teddy Riley, Fergie, Dawn Richard, and is currently producing for and collaborating with Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, Nelly, and Lupe Fiasco.

Duane Howard's single “Gimme Your Body” is set for its official release September 20, 2011 and will be available on Itunes. For additional information on Duane Howard visit www.duanehowardmusic.com.

R&b/Pop Latin Sensation Lili Rocha releases, "Gold in Your Soul" Remix Single...

Artist Lili Rocha Releases Summer Single Remix

New York, August 16, 2011 – Recently completing her U.S. Mini-Tour, international artist, Lili Rocha, is set to release her summer remix single, “Gold In Your Soul”, which is from her first English album, Lili Rocha Rocks!. The single is apart of her soon to be released remix album, which will include originals from her English debut.

For the remix single, Rocha collaborated with world-renown remixer, Steven Wolf, who has worked with artists such as Ke$ha, Celine Dion, P!nk, and many more. Wolf’s background in Jazz, Pop, and R&B influenced the unique sound of Rocha’s remix, as the song steps beyond Rocha’s genre of melodic rock into a fusion of soul, rock, and dance.

“Gold In Your Soul” is an empowering song that advocates self-worth and challenges listeners to find the confidence within. Such premise of the song, combined with the style of music, generates an exceptionally passionate and powerful remix single.

As described by the song’s producer/writer, Matthias Oertle, “ ‘Gold in Your Soul’ comes straight from my heart and the remix version by Steven Wolf catches the essence of what I want to express in this song: in these uncertain times it's a strong positive message for all of us”.

Rocha’s summer remix release will be available for free download on August 17th through her Facebook Fan Page. You can also listen to “Gold In Your Soul” on www.jango.com or through download from the iTunes store.
