R&B Artist Devonte Singer Raises the Pulse with His New Single “Work It”

Cincinnati, OH – R&B Singer and Berklee College of Music student, Devonte Singer is preparing to release a new single “Work It” on October 27, 2013.

When asked about the influence behind the music: "Self-discovery influenced the lyrics. This past summer I made a lot of growth as a performer and songwriter. I wanted to give people feel good music to dance to, while leaving them with an essence that belonged to them. This song is so much about owning the moment and doing it with finesse. So rather you’re partying it up or in the heat of your daily routine, pressing play on this track is certain to make you "Work It."

If Devonte had to use one word to describe this new project he would use "electrifying."

“Work It” is the first single on Devonte’s upcoming album, "A New Me”. It will be available on iTunes and Amazon. Start your days off right and get ready to get your copy soon!

JM Management Inc. Signs New Artist “Royel Urban”

CINCINNATI, OH. On November 22, 2011 JM Management Inc. was proud to announce the signing of Cleveland native Royel Urban. Although he was already on the radar and many are aware of him in various parts of the Ohio music scene, this Hip-Hop lyricist was identified as a strong prospect after his performance at the 5th Annual New England Music Seminar, October 2011, Hartford, CT. Royel chose to perform in his underwear. Shocking to many, but definitely proves that he is willing to go above and beyond, exceeding expectations for the sake of expressing his art.

Royel comes from a family of music. He is a rare breed and makes it hard for those who classify themselves as “just lyricists” or “just club” artists. He’s proven that one can do it all, rap, sing and write to name some of his strengths. These attributes mixed in with Royel’s humble and genuine approach to presenting himself, are great not just for his brand or public appearances, they’re fantastic traits for building a loyal fan-base.

Currently, Royel is getting ready to put the finishing touches on the official launch for his next single, “October Sky”, an upbeat track. This song speaks about moving way beyond your limits, feeling on top of the world, because the sky is within your reach. With his unique sound, Royel has managed to create his own genre of music he labels “Urban Alternative Hip-Hop/Rap” which combines the progressive uplifting message most associated with the Hip-Hop genre and an Urban Mainstream sound. Being an Independent Artist is providing Royel with the playground to experiment with his creativity in the journey to finding his true path.

We look forward to establishing new trends, leveraging current relationships and starting new ones in partnership with this talent. Stay tuned. He’s going to make sure that you SEE him!

Keep track of Royel and enjoy his music!

NEW MUSIC RELEASE: "Losing Control" by Devonte

The long awaited moment has arrived. Today we release the “Losing Control” from Devonte’s new project “Ambition”. The title of this album and all the songs, represent his journey, his struggles, and the road to Devonte getting to where he ultimately wants to be. As we release this music, you will find yourself entranced by the vocals and his songwriting that is way beyond his years, but yet capturing that essence that we so love about being young and free. There will be a long stream of marketing and activity that will carry this album through year end and beyond. Stay tuned on updates from JM Management Inc. and Devonte (performances, activity, etc). Devonte has put lots of time and effort behind this project, his image, showing us that age has no boundaries when you feel so passionately about making your dreams come true. He came to me a year ago, at the age of 16, very sure of where he wanted to go with his music. Over the past year, I've seen so much professional growth. I continue to be in awe. I ask you to stay tuned and keep an eye out for this young man. Not only does he represent himself well, he is an icon in the making for the youth and adults alike. “Losing Control” will be available for a LIMITED time for listening and download at the following locations: REVERBNATION: www.reverbnation.com/devonte BANDCAMP: www.devonte.bandcamp.com MYSPACE: www.myspace.com/devonte.singer INDIEBYCHOICE: http://www.indiebychoice.com/Devonte/songs/Losing-Control/1594 If you want to follow him to stay tuned on his music release: FB Profile: http://www.facebook.com/Devonte.singer?ref=ts Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=161235667817#!/group.php?gid=128449867105&ref=ts Twitter: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitter.com%2FDevonteSinger&h=8df59 More updates to come!

ARE SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS RESHAPING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY?

Having access to the internet has changed the way we engage everything, especially how brands reach consumers. We now have more access, more control and ultimately more power. In regards to the music industry, social media and social networking have revamped even mainstream practices. “Word of Mouth” marketing utilizing social media avenues, has been the way for independents for a long time. The music industry can no longer deny or neglect this practice. Although being able to rely on a major label is a dream for many, Indies are no longer leaving someone in the driver’s seat. Having access to these tools opened doors to experimenting with different approaches. This has become viral and there are many success stories to prove this method successful. WHERE AM I GOING? I would like to introduce “IndieByChoice” as JM Management Inc’s company of the week. They are a self-owned Cincinnati-based online music community established late 2009. There are many tools on IndieByChoice that allows users to create a world that offers a fully integrated “content hub”. What attracted me to this company is the ownership piece. IndieByChoice created and owns this site and in 2010 comes to us with plans that are bigger and better. IndieByChoice has put together a brilliant platform. If you are an Artist, this took will further empower you to have more ownership in your internet presence management. Their next siting is scheduled for April 10th, 1-5 PM at NO! NO! MORE! The Demonstration, Budan’s, 127 W McMillan Street, Cincinnati, OH. Please support a company that supports you by joining their site. Once your account is set up, they ask that you provide feedback as an end user. Below is the link: http://www.indiebychoice.com/ Stay tuned for more updates from JM Management Inc.
