“Talents like E.'s are not anything to sneeze at, so as he cultivates them and adds to his repertoire, the awards and accolades are sure to keep on coming. The Prelude, for now, is a decent start that whets the appetite of what more he's capable of in the near future.”
A native West Philadelphian is the R&B/HIP HOP ROCKSTAR and proud recipient of the UIMA (Urban Independent Music Awards) for two consecutive years. The first honor was awarded in 2004 for "DJ of the year" and the second in 2005 for "R&B Artist of the year", and most recently "E" was also the recipient of the Velocity Magazine Award for Best R&B Album for his highly anticipated debut entitled "The Prelude", he has also taken the top spot in the R&B category in the highly respected industry showcase "Faces in the Crowd" in his hometown of Philadelphia.
"E" adorns the DC metro area with his relentless talent and multifaceted ensemble roles that resounds his presence as a breakout star. His career was well placed as he ignited in the music industry as a seasoned performer, singer/songwriter, self taught musician and producer. In acknowledgment to his skills, he gives tribute to his influences such as Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Prince, Mint Condition, D'Angelo, R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige, and Lauryn Hill. Born into a musically talented family, (his aunt and mother) are undeniable testaments that he is no stranger to capturing any crowd and that his decision to become an entertainer was without question.
While his role as a DJ bolted like lighting as he spun at major hot spots in DC, E's effortless transition into songwriting and R&B performances lead him to share the stage with the national recording artist "Musiq Soulchild", Russell Simmons new sensation "Blac Buddafly" Avant, Marsha Ambrosius, and "Styles P" just to name a few, he graces audiences with intoxicating doses of R&B vocals, his driving force of HIP-HOP smoothed with a swagger and the performance energy of a ROCKSTAR.
He is a scorching new enticement that's indisputably ready to take the music industry by storm, so get ready world for THE R&B/HIP-HOP ROCKSTAR "E"!

“It's been a long since a R&B artist hasn't sounded like other R&B artists out there.
E has done it with a very solid album. This is definitely recommended if you're tired of hearing the same things on the radio, and it's beautifully written, especially the ballad Could I. A must have!!!”
