About Me

B Michael L is a trained vocalist who graduated from Howard University's valuable school of Fine Arts - valuable due to it being the only musically accredited school from a predominantly black University. During his time there, B Michael L popularized a fusion sound of blending jazz, hip hop and pop music (from various time periods) - around the same time the neo-soul movement came about. Vocally influenced by funk and R&B masters of the 70s, B Michael L became a premier vocalist for the Jazz Vocal Workshop under the guidance of the late Webster Lewis, Grady Tate and Kehembe Eichelberger. Now out on his own, B Michael L has blessed many successful independent acts with his lyric writing, vocals and harmonies. A fine solo performer, B Michael L has stepped from under his mentors to become a jazz club entertainer with much positive critical acclaim.A driven promoter, B Michael L has organized and promoted showcases for other artists as well as for himself. Here in New York, in DC, in Miami and other locations, B Michael L has performed and promoted for many events and venues, some locally televised and others private and upscale. He is now launching B Michael L Promotions, a marketing entity which will breathe new life into the musical underground landscape by presenting sophisticated, original and cutting edge live acts. He is also heavily involved in the grooming of other artists, linking them with needed resources to help assist their own careers. Due to his hard work and due to the support of a faithful following, B Michael L's opportunities continue to grow at an amazing rate. His business has become popular for backing and elevating the independent artist. He has modeled for Graffiti On Wear - an online clothing company owned by Tyre Washington - which promises to make waves in the urban clothing business. He is currently assisting with the launch of special events at G Studios, a location which is in the heart of New York and which promises to draw a contemporary, chic but earthy and down-home audience (see Myspace slide show). Who knows what is next on the horizon for B Michael L? Please stay tuned and follow along!
