Artist Bio: Tennessee-born, NYC-grown, and now, European-based artist & singer-songwriter, Norman Vladimir, uses soulful, big range vocals and raw talent combined with live loops and live instruments to create an authentic sound, with a definition of “pop” that's all his own. His journey from growing up on a farm in the rural South to international renown and performances hasn't been an easy one, but one that has been led by his passion for music and his desire to connect to audiences through song. Having sung for President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sir Paul McCartney, and many others for Tony Award winner Bill T. Jones' tribute at the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington DC, and having performed extensively in the NYC music scene, opening for/sharing stages with Norah Jones, John Forte, Me'shell Ndegeocello, and Ben Taylor to name a few, Vladimir has now hopped the pond to become a true international artist. Now living in Europe, he is releasing his latest project, 'No More Obligations', recorded at Redbull Studios Amsterdam, which he plans to release and begin touring in NYC in the summer of 2017. The New EP - 'No More Obligations' & '100%': Norman Vladimir's new EP, 'No More Obligations' is all about letting go, starting with the first single, '100%' - an anthem for conquering that fearful little voice inside each of us that holds us back. After extensive touring throughout the US & Europe and working with Tony and Grammy award winners in New York City, he set out to make his official move to Europe to expand the reach of his work. Recorded at Redbull Studios Amsterdam, 'No More Obligations' is a hopeful, reflective pop-soul project sure to make you sing along, rediscover your own strength, and find comfort in our shared humanity.
