Red Carpet Music Spotlight: R&B/Soul Recording Artist & Songwriter TASHAWN KING (Boston, MA)

Tashawn King is a super-talented, well-seasoned breath of fresh air in today's landscape of R&B/Soul music. King is truly blessed with a strong baritone vocal sound and very entertaining when performing on the stage. His musical influences are the likes of legendary artists such as Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Teddy Pendergrass. Tashawn invites audiences to 'connect' and 'travel' with him along his musical journey. Regardless of your gender, you can't help but feel the man - the voice - and his passion for performing live. Tashawn is most proud of the fact that he can relate to people through song - a skill he first acquired at the young age of five. 'Although I was a very shy kid when I was young, strangely enough I've always felt comfortable when I sang or performed in front of others, no matter how big the audience was.' King was quoted as saying.

No rookie to the industry of music, King was the former co-lead singer of the short-lived male R&B vocal group HOMEWORK, launched in Boston by the legendary super producer Maurice Starr. (New Edition, New Kids On The Block) His tenure in the group afforded him the opportunity to learn the nuances of the music business, including the meaning of teamwork, the process of being signed to a major record label, artist development and touring. These experiences allowed Tashawn to grow and evolve as a solo artist, exposing him to opportunities to perform and work alongside globally-renowned recording artists such as Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Jahiem and Chris Brown, just to name a few. In 2K4, King released his solo debut album 'TASHAWN KING,' which played to positive reviews both here in the States and overseas, bringing forth a whole new legion of fans.

After taking some time personal time out for himself, and concentrating on sharpening his skillset as both a songwriter and a music arranger, Tashawn returns on his quest to secure his unique lane in music. With his latest effort, 'THE TASHAWN KING PROJECT, PT.1,' King will continue to display his true love and appreciation for merging voice with melody by presenting his signature style of smooth, soulful, Urban Contemporary R&B music!
