Juul Contrae Release First Single – “Paradise” @juulcontrae

Music

Raised in Camarillo, CA, Juul Contráe is an artist and songwriter. He has just released his first song, “Paradise.”

Juul went to school with many famous and wealthy families such as Will Smith’s children, the Gretzky family and Frank Ocean’s family, however he never utilized those resources to break into the entertainment industry. Luckily, years later, he ran into Ray J and his team at a hotel and was friends with one of the team members. Juul quickly taught himself how to produce Hip Hop and R&B tracks using YouTube. This was fairly easy because he already had a background in piano and guitar ae well as an understanding of melodies.

Currently , Juul is influenced by the Hip Hop artists that are also making the Pop charts such as Drake and Cardi B. since being introduced to the genre in 2017. However, he grew up on 60s, 70s and 80s Pop/Rock such as Queen and The Doors.

“My goal is to have as much fun and pleasure as possible, a true Epicurean. I feel my music represents that. I want my music to make people happy and set the mood for having a good time.” – Juul Contráe

The video is being shot soon. Meanwhile, the song is now available on all streaming platforms.

Juul encourages all fans to keep up with him on social media and take a further look into his everyday life on his vlogs with his sister – Juul and Car Vlogs channel on YouTube.

[NEW MUSIC] T.K. SOUL – “THAT’S LIFE” | @mikeellispeaks

Music

 

Southern Artist, T.K. Soul releases his latest single, “That’s Life” 

Contemporary soul singer, T.K. Soul born Terence Kimble in Winnfield, Louisiana on August 26, 1964. From a young age, Kimble has a keen ear for music and soaked up the influences of soul, funk, and R&B artists ranging from Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5, and Al Green to Maze, Rick James, and Prince. When he was ten years old, Kimble picked up a guitar and discovered he could easily play it by ear. Before long, Kimble was also playing keyboards, drums, and bass, and by the time he was in junior high, he had already been recruited to play in the local high school’s band. Music became the dominant force in Kimble’s life, as he juggled gigs with school bands, church choir, and local R&B acts.

T.K. Soul has built a loyal grassroots following for his music that mixes R&B traditions with modern-day attitude and hip-hop accents. After a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Kimble began writing songs, and while DJ’ing at clubs and parties, he began singing his songs during breaks. Kimble began looking for a record contract, but his inexperience in the music business kept him on the sidelines for close to a decade.

Kimble began touring with R&B and funk acts as a sideman, and while performing with the band Under 21 (who would later record for Motown under the name Profyle), he was scouted by the manager of the successful Houston-based vocal group H-Town. Kimble signed on to play keyboards with H-Town while writing songs in his spare time.

After his run with H-Town ended, Kimble went back to the church for a few years, serving as a musical director at a house of worship. Kimble returned to the road when he was hired to play keyboards for soul-blues singer Willie Clayton, and soon Clayton was recording some of Kimble’s material, including “Wiggle in the Middle” and “Party Like We Used To.” After five years with Clayton, Kimble decided it was time to strike out on his own.

Adopting the stage name T.K. Soul, he cut his solo debut, 2002’s One Woman Man, and released it through his label, Soulful Records. One Woman Man and Soul’s 2003 follow-up, The Bad Boy of Southern Soul, helped generate a buzz about T.K. on the soul-blues circuit, and 2004’s “Love Games” was a breakthrough that generated several regional hits for him, including “Cheating and Lying” and “You Ring My Bell.” His next album, “Undisputed” rose to number 85 on the R&B and hip-hop album chart and peaked at number nine on the blues album chart. In 2009, “The Evolution of Soul” follows as Soul continues to fill nightclubs and play festivals and theme cruises. Despite his busy schedule, T.K. remains prolific releasing “Ghetto Superstar” in 2013- “Life After Love” in 2014 -“The Legacy” in 2016.

As the C.E.O. of the Soulful Records label, T.K. Soul builds his roster by signing other artists such as Magic One, Nikita, and Rhomey. Be sure to connect with T.K. on social media and digital music platforms.

Abblaze – High Life

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Afro-beats artist Abblaze introduces new with new EP ‘Rhythms & Heartbreaks’

NEWARK, NJ – There are many unique qualities that combine to make up the impressive artistry of East Coast musician Abblaze. For starters, he’s an Afro-beat artist who was born in America but grew up in Nigeria. And most of all, he believes in the healing power of music – so much so that he creates his one-of-a-kind sound as a way to produce a cure for the various maladies that might affect people around the world. 

“I want my music to be known as a cure for feeling down, especially for the females,” Abblaze said. “If you feel like there’s no way out or if a guy is doing you wrong, my music is the cure for that. I also have conscious music sometimes because I needed that in my life and I want to give that to younger generations. More than anything, I have a new sound that is relevant for now and it’s groovy. I like melodies a lot and if you’re feeling down, you can put on one of my songs and it’ll put you in a good mood. I like balance. That’s how life is. If you’re feeling down and want to be happy, listen to one of my songs. Or if you’re wondering why guys think a certain way, my songs can help provide an answer. I also sing about moving around and fashion and different takes on culture – I have that balance, too.”

That diversity is put on full display through Abblaze’s EP “Rhythms & Heartbreaks.” With a vibe that fully embraces the Afro-beats for which he has become known, the project features a combination of love songs and heartbreak songs. Two singles from the EP have already been making waves among fans and are rapidly making their way across the U.S. The first is “High Life” which Abblaze said pays homage to his love of marijuana. 

“The name says it all,” he said. “When I’m feeling down or depressed, I usually turn to marijuana. That’s what the song is about. I do Afro-beats which came out of the high life in Ghana and Nigeria. So in a lot of ways, this is a song for my African fans, too. But mostly, it’s just a song that says I’m a big fan of marijuana. Whenever I need to get my mind right or when things get a little fuzzy around me, I smoke some marijuana and I rediscover myself.”

The other single from the project is “My Number One Love” which Abblaze said is inspired by the “best girl I’ve ever met.” The Afro-beat love song praises the woman of his dreams and goes about detailing the good parts of her and how she has taken over his heart. 

Both of these singles and the EP showcase how Abblaze is one of the most consistent, upcoming Afro-beat artists in recent years. He’s gaining outstanding critical acclaim for his works and performances, and many have said that his sound is new, unique and versatile. 

“As an Afro-beats artist, I don’t think anyone in America is doing what I’m doing,” he said. “There are a couple of people who are popular in that space right now, but I’m the only one who knows both the Nigerian culture and the American culture first-hand. I have the best of both worlds. I also grew up in bad areas, so I know what’s going on in the streets. All of that combined gives my sound a mixture of Nigerian roots with an American lifestyle that’s grounded in the streets.”
