singer Winston Warrior


Listen Later

Atlanta born and truly Southern raised, Winston Warrior painfully lost  his virginity to the music industry in the ‘90s. As an original member  of the break-out R&B group, Lo’ Profile, they already had two hit  singles, “Missing You” and “Play Melody” on radio rotation and garnered  much local industry acclaim. Winston, along with his group-mates, were  frequently booked as opening acts for major artists such as Mary J.  Blige, Queen Latifah, Dru Hill, Soul 4 Real, and Bone Thugs N Harmony.   With packed venues, a growing fanbase, and a successful audition with an  influential player in the game, all of the group’s hurdles had been  cleared with grace. Success, however, never comes easily and it soon  became apparent how crucial a role ulterior motives had played and the  group split up. While the collaborative dream did not make it to  fruition, the ever present longing for Winston to create and fulfill his  artistic goals never dissipated. He was now armed with a business  degree from the University of Miami and had plenty of production and  performance experience under his belt to pursue a path in marketing.  Although not in the spotlight as before, success in Winston’s corporate  endeavors soon followed and he was able to make new as well as retain  strong industry connections. Hesitant to reemerge as a musician because  he had been away for so long, Winston’s insecurities overshadowed his  desire to sing. Winston’s support system was instrumental in encouraging  him to reconnect with his music. The sound of his music harkens back to  the sounds of one-name legends like Luther, Freddie, Teddy, Barry, and  Donny.  Winston’s music is a fusion of smooth hip hop beats and harmonic  R&B themes. His music pays tribute to the feel-good R&B and  soul music of the late 80’s and 90’s, but with the edginess of today’s  production. He calls it "Vintage R&B."
