Pullen Project

Jerome Pullen was born in Memphis, TN, home of Beale Street and rhythm and blues. He began playing music professionally at the age of 17 and in 1988 he formed the duo P.M., releasing his first single, “You” later that year. After the release of “You”, the group had the opportunity to tour across the country and overseas, including stops as far and wide as Greenland and Japan, with popular R&B group Kool & the Gang.

In 1996, seeking a new creative venture, Pullen founded a new group, Project Inc. (featuring Mac RHedd). Mac RHedd served as a new solo endeavor for Pullen, backed by a group of top tier musicians. The band began to grow in popularity, as they performed with major artists like Outcast and J. Blackfoot. Their single, “Playing Ain’t EZ” gained them more notoriety as their touring schedule intensified.

Now an established artist, Pullen has continued to build on his decades old musical friendship with the legendary Barkays, performing with them whenever possible. He has recently opened his own label, W.E.K. Entertainment, to support the release of his single, “Make Me Say Ooh” from his debut solo album My Life. The album also features Barkay lead singer Larry Dodson on “Forever and Ever” as well as Pullen’s own twist on the Barkays classic “Your Place or Mine.” Original Barkays bassist James Alexander will be handling promotions to radio for the record. Pullen feels the new album will give him a chance to showcase the full range of his talents, saying “The sky is the limit!”

In addition to his career as a recording and touring artist, Jerome also leads one of the meanest party bands in Memphis. Having headlined the 2012 Africa in April Festival, his band is among the most in demand in the club party scene. Their range extends from classic hits from soul men like Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross and Al Green to rock acts such as ZZ Top, Journey and Foreigner, to modern pop stars like R. Kelly, Madonna, Michael Jackson and more. If you need a party band, you need The Pullen Project.
