"E" THE R&B HIP-HOP ROCKSTAR

“E”, one of Washington DC's hottest rising stars has a brand new release to rock the world with. The Prelude Chronicles Mixtape is a delicious taster of what’s to come from this dynamic new talent, an R&B Hip-Hop Rockstar for the 21st century.

“E” previewed his new sounds at a special performance party at the Avenue Nightclub, Washington DC on March 28.

The new release is a mixtape version of his forthcoming debut album, The Prelude. With a unique style all of his own, mature and sexy, “E” is fulfilling his incredible potential. While there is definitely a raunchy groove to his music, it will appeal to teenagers and adults alike, thanks to smooth-as-silk hooks and melodies that just make you want to take to the dance floor.

Tracks such as 'Could I', 'Down 4 Hers' and 'Like That', are examples of “E” utilizing production from some of his favorite producers, while other tracks are his own original take on some of the most popular tracks around today. Not that there isn't any of his own material – there's plenty of that, and pretty fine it is too.

He says of the Mixtape project: "I'm very proud to be able to present this offering to my fans, giving them a taste of what's to come when the official debut comes out.

"I feel that The Prelude Chronicles Mixtape will appeal to everyone who's a fan of great music and lyrics. I'm passionate about connecting with my audience whether it's recording or performing – the audience is there to be entertained on every level."

“E” cites a diverse array of influences on his new album. Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Prince, Mint Condition, D'Angelo, R.Kelly, Mary J. Blige and Lauryn Hill are all inspirations for his R&B vocal style, Hip-Hop cool and Rockstar swagger.

A native of West Philadelphia, “E” has won awards at the Urban Independent Music Awards two years running, winning DJ of the Year in 2004, and R&B Artist of the Year in 2005. Current hits 'Like That' and 'Could I' are on rotation on JAM FM, Germany's premier urban radio station, and 'Like That' is receiving play on the UK internet radio station Vogue FM, as well as Shouted FM.

He knew his future lay in music when he first saw a video of Michael Jackson with the Jackson Five when he was a child. His aunt and mother then did everything possible for him, such as buying instruments, driving to band rehearsals, signing him up to school choruses, and ceaselessly encouraging his precocious gift.

Their hopes for him have been realized, as “E” is now a relentless talent: a songwriter and producer igniting the music industry.

The Prelude Chronicles Mixtape is a tantalizing glimpse of The Prelude – both works of astonishing originality.

E,...The R&B HipHop Rockstar manages to pull it all together in this latest release The Prelude Chronicles Mixtape.

E has a sound that's edgy but smooth and mellow ...something you can put in the CD deck and chill to on the drive home.

You could even put this one on when you're with your lady, yeah its that tight.

E is no stranger to the game He's been grinding it out for a minute with the infamous Phat Cats Entertainment family.

Not just a R&B dude, E really gives a hot on-stage performance as well.

Known for his DJ skillz, E is definitely a recognizable figure throughout the diamond District. He's a professional when it comes to the music.

Tracks on the CD that seem to stand out are Like That and Down 4 Hers. If I had to compare his sound to mainstream artists I would say Robin Thicke/ Montell Jordan.

I actually like E's sound,...if you in the mood for laid back feel good music then you gotta cop the new release from E The R&B HipHop Rockstar
