NEW MUSIC FEATURE FRIDAYS - Marcus Devine and Angela Davis Featured.

This week's Friday feature considers himself as the “true essence of R&B music." I would like my audience to make that judgment. As a producer he has worked with some major artists in the industry. He has made a mark where people should know his name.
As the owner of the DAFURNANCE MUSIC GROUP, LLC., his current project GWENATION, will be releasing her new single "Ain't Got A Chance," coming May 6, 2014. He is...MARCUS DEVINE Daheatmizer but I can say "A Devine sound of R&B/Hip-Hop" putting it down with "GROUND BALL" FEAT. MR. BANKS Read more of Marcus Devine: Facebook / Youtube
So this week I was blessed with a second "New Music Friday Feature," ANGELA LYNN DAVIS. As the nominee and winner of the 2013 Detroit Black Music Award Female R&B Singer of the Year, she was chosen by those who know her and love to hear the pure sound of her voice. Angela's first debut album was released in 2012 "Flying High," which is a mixture of R&B, Jazz, and Soul.
"Angela has sung alongside some great vocalists like Alexander O'Neal, Cherrelle, Penny Wells, Misty Love, Howard Hewitt, and SoulSinger J Tait. She has performed with noted musicians like Detroit Hall of Fame saxophonist, Duane Parham, and legendary Detroit keyboardist, Al McKenzie." So here's Angela performing live at her CD release party.

NEW MUSIC FEATURE FRIDAYS

KING MELLOWMAN This is his name. I have known him for a little over five years now and his voice is to be heard. It's a voice that can sing melodies of all kinds, it'll make you cry, laugh and jump for joy. He's a man of music, writing and singing since a young child, with parents also in the music industry, it's no wonder a musician of all genres.

Bio: Jamal "King Mellowman" Clarke has been into music for as long as he can remember. According to his parents {He was singing before he was talking}. Mellow has performed with a number of bands such as: The Samaritans, The King David Posse, Ako-Ben, Level Vibes, The Nomads, The Basiks{which he formed}, Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band to name a few.... He has opened and backed many artist such as: EEK-A-Mouse, Sister Carol, Junior Ried, Ken Boothe, Gregory Issacs, Mutabaruka{The Dub Poet}, Arrow{Soca King}, Shaggy, and Shabba Ranks. Mellow has also had a candid interview with "The Dancehall King Of Reggae" Winston "King Yellowman" Foster whom is his idol and with whom he hopes to record with soon. He has also collaborated with Slinger"The Mighty Sparrow" Francisco{The Calypso King Of The World}. Mellow has now formed a well versatile band called "Mellow Runnings" and not only do they play Caribbean music,but they are versatile in ANY form of music. King Mellowman & Mellow Runnings are ready to show that even though the runnings now-a-days are hard and tough, the music that King Mellowman & Mellow Runnings display can really make the "Runnings" smooth and " Mellow."
