Armani

They say that home is where the heart is, and for Pop/R&B artist Armani, home is on stage. A natural talent with a professional dance background and a soulful singing voice, Armani is a force to be reckoned with....and he's not backing down.Born in Los Angeles in 1989, Armani comes from humble beginnings. Growing up, his hardworking father struggled to make ends meet and his mother put all of her time and effort into her children; particularly Armani. “When I was five months old,” says Armani “my Mom would play music for me and watch me groove to the songs. Even as a baby, I could catch the beat.” By the time he was in kindergarten, Armani was emulating his icons: Fred Astaire, James Brown, and Michael Jackson. It became clear that Armani's early exposure to the world of entertainment had a huge impact on him. Realizing her son’s obvious potential, Armani's mother enrolled him in dance classes at the Millennium Dance Complex, a well-respected dance studio in California, and at the Synthesis dance studio. At the age of fourteen and with years of dance experience under his belt, Armani joined a theater workshop for talented teens. It was during this time that he began to perfect his stage presence. Armani's advanced singing and dancing skills, combined with his boyish charm and subtle sex appeal, opened many doors of opportunity and he was chosen to compete in multiple dance competitions. As a solo performer, Armani took home three first place trophies and more confidence than ever before. Determined to take his talent to another level and set himself apart from other performers, Armani created his own signature dance style: a mix of pop-n-lock, hip-hop and jazz. All he needed was his own music to dance to.Armani teamed up with R&B music producer Jez Colin. Their chemistry in the studio led to an instant hit entitled Mine, a catchy, up-tempo track about relationships. “Armani is on the path to becoming a smooth operator in the R&B world, “guarantees Colin. “His vision is exemplary and he's one of the hardest working newcomers in showbiz.” Armani's long list of dynamic performances includes Media One TV, Yan TV Live, Dance Rave, the International Dance Festival, Showstoppers, A Christmas Carol, and even the Russian Music Awards. “The feeling of being on stage with thousands of fans screaming up at you is indescribable. I can't live without it,” says Armani.Armani is currently preparing to showcase to record labels and is finishing up his demo CD, which is sure to cross boundaries and leave fans craving more from this charismatic and inspiring performer.Armani.Believe the hype. mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://lads.myspace.com/slides/slideshow_random.swf?u=1 07386912" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="426"
