Keith Sweat is a Harlem, New York, born songwriter, record producer, vocalist, actor, and radio personality, with a
career that spans over 24 years of record breaking and trail blazing contributions to the Pop and R&B genre. He is
coined the genius behind the New Jack Swing phenomenon of the late 1980’s. Keith Sweat’s timely transition to the
R&B mecca of Atlanta in 1992 added “label impresario” to his roster of talents. Keith has dominated the Pop and R&B
worlds with an undeniable presence. His debut and now classic album “Make It Last Forever” sold more than three
million copies, producing four R&B hit singles, including “I Want Her,” which also landed at #5 on the Pop charts.
Keith Sweat has delivered five straight #1 albums, selling a worldwide total of 25 million records. His self-titled 1996
effort “Keith Sweat” gained quadruple platinum status. His critically acclaimed collaboration with fellow superstars
Gerald Levert and Johnny Gill on the double platinum LSG was launched a decade after he first landed in the music
business.
On the cusp of his third decade in the spotlight, Sweat has almost become a genre unto himself, his pleading ballads a
mainstay of radio’s “Quiet Storm” format. As if in acknowledgement of that, Sweat hosts the #1-nighttime nationally
syndicated radio show, “The Sweat Hotel.” The live call-in program boasts 3 million listeners exchanging dialogue with
Keith about matters of the heart. Keith Sweat garners an impressive fan base in the fickle genre of Pop R&B and
continues to redefine boundaries.
Proclaimed a “national treasure” by the Los Angeles Times, GRAMMY® Award winning singer, songwriter, producer,
and actor Anthony Hamilton has achieved global sales of over 50 million albums. The North Carolina Music Hall of
Fame inductee notably performed for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle, cementing his place in the
history books as the “narrator of love.” He appeared in “American Gangster” and lent his voice to “Freedom” from
the Academy® Award-nominated Django Unchained. Additionally, he became the first R&B artist to sell an album at
Cracker Barrel.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hamilton’s decorated catalog includes his 2003 debut “Comin’ From Where I’m From” (which carried the hit title
track), 2005’s “Ain’t Nobody Worryin’” among other efforts. He has earned several Grammy nominations, like “Po’
Folks,” the 2002 Nappy Roots collaboration that earned a nod for best rap/sung collaboration, and won his first trophy
in 2009 for best traditional R&B vocal performance for his duet with Al Green on “You’ve Got The Love I Need.” He
has also lent his vocals to a variety of talent including Nas, Rick Ross, Carlos Santana, Jill Scott, Tupac, and Al Green to
name a few. His album “What I’m Feelin” released in 2016 received Grammy nomination for the title song.
Angie Stone is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer. She rose to fame in the late 1970’s as
member of the hip hop trio The Sequence. Soon after, Stone began working with futuristic rap group Mantronix and
singer Lenny Kravitz. In the early 1990’s, she became a member of the R&B trio Vertical Hold. In 1999, Stone released
her solo debut “Black Diamond” on Arista Records, which was certified gold and spawned the R&B number-one hit
“No More Rain (In This Cloud).” After transitioning to J Records, she released another gold-seller, “Mahogany
Soul (2001),” which included the hit single “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” followed by “Stone Love” (2004) and “The Art of
Love & War” (2007), her first number-one album on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Stone ventured into acting in the 2000’s, making her film debut in the comedy film “The Hot Chick” (2000) and her
stage debut in 2003, in the role of Big Mama Morton in the Broadway musical “Chicago.” She has since appeared in
supporting roles in films and television series as well as several musical productions, including VH1’s “Celebrity Fit
Club” and TV One’s “R&B Divas” and movies such as “The Fighting Temptations” (2003), “Pastor Brown” (2009)
and “School Gyrls” (2010). A three-time Grammy Award nominee, she has two Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards.
Veteran R&B crooner Joe Thomas, better known simply as “Joe”, whose career spans over two decades and 12
albums, is a great example of an artist whom uses his musical prowess for the better good. Since his debut in 1993
with hits like “I Wanna Know” and the Top 5 R&B/Top 40 pop hit “Don’t Wanna Be a Player,” the multi-Grammy
nominated crooner has been curing broken hearts, saving relationships, and providing the airways with certified R&B
love songs.
