There's a new sound in music. A fusion of Gospel, pop, jazz, neo-soul, and rock that is literally taking the world by storm. Ian S. Holmes II is one of the creators of this new sound. A seasoned musician and vocalist, Ian's talents have traveled the world. Playing the piano since age two, by the age of 17 he was directing multi-nation choirs as his name traveled across Puerto Rico, Kenya, and the Middle East. People kept talking about his music, about his songs...about his spirit.

Ian has worked with noted performers such as world renown LP percussionist Candido Camero, power-producers Loris Holland, Jimmy 'D' Miller , Richie Pena & Ziggy Diaz , Latin Grammy Nominee Maria Del Rey , and international Urban Praise recording artist Floyd Ellsworth --just to name a handful. Ian has opened for The Blind Boy's of Alabama, Tyler Hilton, Collective Soul and many others.

Ian also auditioned for American Idol Season 4 (Carrie Underwood, Bo Bice) where he made it to Hollywood. Out of over 100,000 audtionees Ian was selected to go to the top 44 in the competition. Since then, Ian has been seen on Fox Television, BET, The Reality Network and more.

Currently, Ian is featured on The Lord’s Prayer Project , produced by multi-grammy winners Loris Holland and Jimmy 'D' Miller , with Howard Hewitt, Martha Munizzi, Tonex and many more. The Lord's Prayer hit stores Easter '07.

Recently, Ian has worked with Calvin Nowell , Debi Selby , Drea Rhenee , Nia Allen , B Reith , and Missi Hale , who have all been gracious and pure inspirations in his life.

Ian is not just a talent; he is a gift to music. His songs speak to every walk of life. His voice acts out every possible emotion as he moves effortlessly from hip-hop driven beats to soaring ballads.

Presently, Ian is working with 'the jacks' @ 'the prestige' studio in Canada recording his New Project. He is also conducting dance, piano, vocal and performance workshops for grade and community schools and community programs. www.ianholmesonline.com
