Mr. Coley

Mr. Coley was born in Washington, DC but moved to Durham, NC at a young age. Mr. Coley received his inspiration and talent from his mother, a God fearing woman who believed in praying and going to church - so began THE SOUL AND THE MUSIC!!! Singing around the house and playing drums in the church was his first connection, and then he began singing in various choirs. In high school, Mr. Coley was active in the gospel choir, and PERFORMED in stage plays like "DREAM GIRLS," where he played Curtis Taylor Jr. Among other talents, Mr. Coley marched in the band and played SNARE on Hillside High School's drumline, "Blue Steel," making a cameo in the movie "THE INK WELL" starring Larenz Tate. Since then, Mr. Coley has performed in various night clubs all over North Carolina, but his "Big Break" came in 2006 when he performed on the nationally syndicated "Tom Joyner Morning Show," live on FOXY 107/104 FM in Raleigh, NC. In 2007, Mr. Coley went on to perform at "THE WORLD FAMOUS APOLLO THEATER" in New York. He first performed his original song entitled “YO MRS.” at AMATEUR NIGHT, a non-televised show, securing his spot on the nationally televised show, "SHOWTIME @ THE APOLLO." His rendition of "LATELY" (by Stevie Wonder, as performed by KC and Jo Jo) allowed him to advance in the competition as the returning winner for the next show - an “Apollo Legend” in the making! Mr. Coley has since performed at the "CHARLOTTE MUSIC AWARDS" in Durham and Charlotte, NC, but his latest accomplishment was singing the "NATIONAL ANTHEM" at the 2008 MEAC basketball tournament held in Raleigh, NC at the RBC CENTER! So its safe to say that Mr. Coley has achieved "GREATNESS" in so many ways, Mr Coley has started his own publishing company called "TIMELESS SOUL" "Where Good Music Transends Generations". This Singer, Songwriter, Producer" he's a quadruple threat! Unlike any other artist, Mr. Coley has produced, written and arranged his own album entitled "FOREVER-MUSIC," which makes him "THE MASTER MIND BEHIND THE MUSIC." It’s been said, that even being unsigned, Mr. Coley is a "FRANCHISE" all by himself...."THE FUTURE OF REAL MUSIC."
