“The essence of who you are is exemplified through what you do and not what you say. I understand that music ceases from being music without the melody being sung or played, but unless it’s a part of your life, it’s just music without a meaning, so live it”. These words are spoken by a man with music running through his veins. Born into two families with musical backgrounds, Rashard Small had no choice but to be destined for musical capabilities. Just as most soulful singers, Rashard began his singing career in the church at a young age. His vocal talents excelled due to his passion for music and progressed into an endowment with an array of instruments. Rashard began playing the drums for his grandmother’s church and immediately began to play the piano. This eventually evolved into the ability to play the organ and acoustic guitar. Growing pains, life experiences, and love cultivated him into becoming a phenomenal songwriter, and that created a recipe for musical greatness. “I created a label to put out music that will change someone’s life, life music. I’m a church boy and always will be. I understand that God has a calling on my life to reach people where they are, and what better way to reach people than through music. I don’t just want to be labeled as a Gospel artist or an R&B artist. If you were to place me in a genre, I would call it “Soulful Love”. I love music! Not just Gospel, R&B, Rock, Jazz, Rap, or any other genre, I just love music. We call soul music soul music because it touches the soul of a person, and the soul is what makes everyone different. I can clearly see that there are artist, in every genre, that aren’t portraying life in their music, but I believe that there are artist from ole as well as new that understand the concept of reaching a persons soul. When you reach the soul, you change the life, and when you change the life you bring change”. “Love Life of a Church Boy” is Rashard Small’s debut album on his “S.A.M.G.” label. With tracks like Whole Life, Never Change, I Can’t Love You, Equilibrium, and Believe, this album is predicted to be an instant classic. “I’m a young man that’s been married for a fairly long time. In this day and time relationships fall apart the moment that something goes wrong. I firmly believe in the wedding vows and try my very best to honor them. This album basically introduces you to me, my love life, and my life motto “love is shown not said”. I hope to inspire people to live and to love through what I do and not what I say”.
