| Introducing 16-Year-Old R&B Prodigy BERA From Republic of Georgia BERA is a 16-year old artist and music/production whiz from the Republic of Georgia whose charismatic and prodigious songwriting has led him to work with two of the world's most renowned music producers - Rob Fusari (Lady Gaga) and Rodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson) - making him a rising artist to watch this fall. Here's why BERA's is a name you should know: *When BERA was three, his parents noticed he had perfect pitch and started him playing the violin and piano. Growing up between Paris and Georgia, BERA became fluent in English, Georgian, French and Russian, and quickly mastered his first two instruments. *A jazz and R&B fanatic, BERA began flawlessly recreating the songs he heard on the radio, with a particular penchant for classic soul such as Barry White and Lionel Richie as well as artists like Notorious B.I.G, Michael Jackson, and Lenny Kravitz. With talent beyond his years and a kaleidoscope of influences intact, BERA crafted a unique new sound, blending pop, hip-hop, and classic soul. *His first single "Favorite Things, " off his debut album and produced by Rob Fusari, is an irresistible, sexy R&B track that BERA says "shows his universe" in both musical and personal terms. Watch the video for "Favorite Things" here: http://beraofficial.com/ *BERA, who has an unabashedly unique vision for his music, dreamed up his upcoming EP, 'Late Night Cruise Music', as the perfect late-night driving music - soulful, laid-back, mid-tempo and intricately crafted. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Jazz News :: home page |
