[rnb] is a soulful vocalist, songwriter, poet and visual artist out of Maryland/DC. It has been said that his music pays homage to past R&B while providing a refreshing flavor of new soul.

[rnb]'s music speaks of dedication and love and reiterates the idea of feeling good about life in general.

This performer at heart has hosted and organized various showcases around NYC. Every show is a new journey, whether it be smooth acoustic renditions of his music or full out rocking performances with a live band. Over the past 7 years [rnb] has both performed song and spoken word at various venues in NYC including Crash Mansion, the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Nell's, Bowery Poetry Club, Nightingales, The Knitting Factory, Soloman's Porch Cafe and various local colleges/universities. More recently, he hosted monthly showcases at The Five Spot in Brooklyn- creating a new outlet for emcees, poets and singers alike to perform with a live band.

[rnb]'s debut album "The Green Room" was released in Summer of 2007 off his indie label- Musical Green. The music is comprised of rich lyrics supported by innovative musical compositions that channel old school R&B. The album is an interpretation of his life's journey over the past few years. Aside from strictly promoting his music through shows he has built up an online presence with the help of cdbaby and apple itunes, just to name a few. Sales have reached over 300 including roughly 60 cds ordered wholesale and placed in various UK stores. [rnb] plans to continue performing around the NYC area and is working on performing abroad. Many stations in the UK have already expressed interest and certain songs from The Green Room are on rotation. As a current member of TAXI, rnb is gearing toward TV/Film and artist placement while continuing to build a fan base.

[rnb] has ventured into film/TV licensing and has successfully landed his first placement or over 10 titles, some from the Green Room, on the first season of BET's "Harlem Heights" airing in March 2009. He has also had success in placing his music in other music libraries on the west coast.
