E.n.d.i.e. Fiya

This South Bend, Arkansas native was introduced to music at a very early age. Music first found him in the church choir. Watching his mother sing in the choir, persuaded him to develop his singing ability. That ability was noticed by his mother, and he was told to pursue his musical ambitions. It nurtured and enhanced Tabu's musical skills. This led Tabu to enter into the Lamarck Productions, in which he achieved first place and the ability to meet The Rude Boyz and Ed Davis.

Tabu has traveled across The Midwest in recent years and has been led to Atlanta, GA. This has allowed him to meet Dawayne Wilson of Dirty House Productions. He has also released his first solo album, entitled Introduction Into Tabu.

Currently Tabu works with Mose Stovall and Kelvin Benion of KSwayMusic Production and Jay of Platinum 1 Entertainment.

Tabu has been the opening act for The Rude Boys, Men at Large, Joe, Lenny Williams, Gerald Levert, Monica, Tony Terry, David Peaston, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Intro, Melisa Morgan, Focus the group, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Sir Charles Jones, and countless others to be named. Tabu's music influences come from artists such as... Teddy Pendergrass, Gerald Levert, Marvin Gaye, Johnny Taylor, and Mary Mitchell  (his mother).

He feels that God's purpose must always be our guide. Singing is his gift, through music, Tabu wants to reach, to touch, and to make changes in peoples' lives. His goal in his music career is "that it will touch the lives of people and reach all genres. I wish to have it translate to others and to touch the masses. I feel at the end of the day, it is what it is, always give 110% at whatever you do.  I thank God for the ability to translate and be transparent via records, CDs, streams, television, radio, and much more."

LaToyia McCray is an Author born and raised in Cleveland Ohio, but currently resides in Memphis, Tennessee.

She is a nurse by day and a writer by night. When she is not saving lives, she enjoys writing novels and short stories.

Writing has always been a passion of hers, and she loves bringing her characters to life in her stories.

"I was shaped from the heat and mud of the south and hardened into a man by the mean streets of the Nation's Capitol". My music embodies all of the different aspects of my life. From Gospel to Gangsta music I'm a "fusion" of all that falls between! I was "raised" in the church, "baptised" by the streets! As a result of me being born in the poorest state in the country (at that time) and raised in the Nation's Capitol, a unique star was formed and at the age of 23 I began writing music!  

      I take pride in creating high quality music that has substance and feeling! I personally call my style of music "New Bluez" or "Skreet Gospel". It embodies a variety of my favorite types of music like: Blues, Rap, Soul as well as Reggae. I'm a Blues baby that was born in the Hip Hop/Gangsta Rap era!

      My art and sound are a true reflection of my LIFE, "Smooth but rough around the edges" and although I'm still a small town boy at heart I truly have a GLOBAL mind state! 

       I have performed and shared the stage with the likes of: The Grammy Award Winning Mr. Bobby Rush, Sir Charles, JWonn, Denise LaSalle, OJ da Juice Man, The PC Band, LJ Echols, Hot Boy Turk and JR Blu to name a few!

      Ultimately, I want to be recognized and remembered as a pioneer that ushered in a new chapter in music history. My aim is to simply create music that is LOVED and APPRECIATED World wide!      

      One of my mottos in life is "The world aint ready for this", but honestly, the world no longer has a choice! I'm HERE!!!

Diawardrick Grover aka Dia is a singer/songwriter from Fayette, Mississippi. You never know what to expect from Dia because he does all genres.

Before music, Dia was well known for being one of the coolest cops in the area and for creating great videos on Facebook. After Facebook got strict about using other artists' music and blocking his videos, Dia started writing and using his own music. His latest album was WANT DAT & he collaborated with producers like Tony T, Shoutout to D Ford, tredajoker, Dre aux the keys, and J1hitmaker to bring a different sound from his previous album.

He is currently working on a new project called Just Bring, which should be completed and available in 2023.

Over the past decade or so, there has been a lingering sentiment that “hip-hop is dead.” Well, fortunately for us, soul is still alive and fortunately for the people that still believe in music from the heart that contains purity in expression-flaws included, artists like Sky Whatley exist.

One of the greatest things about being an artist is the ability to change and become who you want to be. No one’s music collection should only have one type of artist, and artists shouldn’t be pigeon held to sound one way. During his earlier years, Sky Whatley had a sound that was coined as “hood rock.” Proof that rock and hip-hop aren’t distant relatives at all, but very closely knit and related.

Now, as all artists have a right to, Sky Whatley is seeking expression from his other love: Soul music. Inspired by greats like Prince, Sly Stone and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

This maybe something that his initial fan base may not be aware of after his sleuth of popular songs like “I’m Rick James Bitch” and “Chevy Game” featuring ex-Poison Clan member JT Money. When his “Hood Rock” project was released Sky Whatley suggested that he wasn’t “making just an album but a flip on the entire music industry.”

His new direction will incorporate soul with a gospel edge that proves that honest music doesn’t have to lack on quality. Sky Whatley further admits that he makes his music with “natural talent” and adds “no auto-tunes.”

In a time where real artists are too far and in between and flash-in-the-pan hopefuls are on every Facebook page looking for a friend request. Sky Whatley has other plans as a singer/producer/ songwriter and with notable collaborations under his belt including Fabo,  Lil Jon, Goodie Mob, B.O.B.

DAVID WALKER 

Aka "Cowboy Cool” 

Nu Country Soul 

Soul music is almost a lost art form these days. The music is full of love, church expressions and incredible skill and will of every man and woman who dared to express it. This music is all about our roots! Cowboy Cool was just the beginning of the vibe we’ve created with Nu Country Soul.  The style is a new breed of music that is a mixture of feelings and vibes based on R&B and country music. Living in the city and spending my summers in the country, I felt like I would always spend time between the radio airwaves of both genres – imagining city life while in the country and the laid back country lifestyle. Nu Country Soul is a gumbo of music that allows folks to experience both worlds and lifestyles at the same time.

It’s a fun-filled way to bridge the gap. "It’s all about making music that touches people's lives and reminds them to have a good time.”
