Harlem the Artist
Harlem the Artist started his musical journey at the young age of 13
with the support of his father. Over time he's morphed into an
impeccable singer and songwriter. Harlem has independently released
three underground solo CD's including; "I'm A Singer", "The Life" and
"Situations" which share the sound of R&B mixed with Hip Hop and
urban influences. Harlem's latest single called "Timeless" further
shows his vocal and songwriting maturity. He literally does not rest
until he's captured innovation by means of beautiful lyrics and
melodies.

Artist of the Year".
Harlem the Artist; a man so passionate about music that his very
purpose for living resolves around it. His committment to his music not
only demonstrates who he is as an artist, but who he is as a man.
Despite working tirelessly and breaking many nights in recording
studios, he still makes the time to be a responsible brother to his
siblings, a loving son to his parents and a helping hand to his
friends.
Harlem is the epitome of a truly great musician in the making.
When asked why he makes music, his response is "I don't really feel I
have a choice in making music, it's in my DNA...something I couldn't
shake if I wanted to. i just hope people can relate and appreciate my
music".
When Harlem was interviewed by David Fromayan of VIBE the writer had
this to say: "Harlem views music today as an ever evolving melting pot
of genres. He meshs together a culmination of genres like Pop, R&B,
Rap and Jazz music to innovatively broaden his range in music. By doing
this it enables him to stay relevant, connected to fans and not be
confined to the limits of R&B. "I want someone whose never seen me
perform live to be able to connect with my music, "Harlem says.
Harlems smooths lyrics & melody grasp an audience and sets him
apart from the rest. Harlem's new single entitled "Timeless" has been
describe by his Youtube and Facebook fans in the following ways:
"soulful and heartfelt", "Real R&B", "Nice to see real music back
at it", "Good music, love this song" and finally "not cookie cutter type
and you can hear the influence of other types of music in it".
The new single "Timeless" could be best describe as a blend of two
classic genres of music R&B and Hip Hop with the blend of smooth
"Alternative" vocal tones which maintains a great balance sonically.
