NATURE MEETS NURTURE:EL is a twenty-something singer/ songwriter/ producer with every vocal quality that makes a singer legendary and every quality that makes an artist a commodity in the music industry. The midwest-raised baritone's vocal technique and 5 to 6-octave range has caught the attention of some of the music industry's most accomplished names from producers Percy Bady, No.Id (Kanye West, Jaime Foxx, Bow Wow), "Mack" of The Stereotypes (Danity Kane, Beyonce), Terry Hunter (Mary J. Blige, Raheem DeVaughn), Keith Henderson (R. Kelly, Aaliyah, Anita Baker), Benjamin Love (Faith Evans, Eric Benet, The Winans), Christopher Sholar (Mariah Carey, Rodney Jerkins), to living legend Stevie Wonder.EL has written for Olivia (G-Unit), Aisha Morris (daughter of Stevie Wonder), and Glenn Lewis, sung backup for Talib Kweli and Pharoahe Monch, and recorded background vocals on two Lupe Fiasco songs (including the GRAMMY WINNING "Superstar"). He has opened for Erykah Badu, Nina Sky, Trey Songz, Musiq, Lyfe Jennings, and Tina Marie among others, and served as vocal coach to many (including Olympic Gold Medal gymnast Carly Patterson).EL is a well-rounded artist with a growing list of accomplishments including number-1 dance tune "Walk Away", "Knockin" another dance hit which received rave reviews in 5 Magazine. "It's not just something I love to do, it's the biggest part of who I am." EL says of his music, specifically his singing. Citing influences like Mariah Carey, Tank, Daryl Coley, and Luther Vandross it's evident that EL has a passion for real singing; voices that are both technically and emotionally poignant. Equally as impressive as his singing is his songwriting as he writes and sings in English and Spanish. "I've been speaking Spanish my whole life so it's natural for me to write and sing in both languages." With lyrics like "How do you dry your tears when you cry on the inside" it's evident that EL has staying power in an industry where so many of today's artists are gone tomorrow.EL's voice is the perfect combination of technique and feeling, his music is the perfect combination of science and artistry, his talent is the perfect example of nature meets nurture."; I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
