“We don't stop – we keep it movin' for the love of the game, the feeling of fame, love it when they screaming my name...” (“Get More”, 2009) JASE This is the name that's sure to be echoing everywhere! Lead singer of the platinum selling R&B quartet, Soul For Real, is still going strong as he prepares to release his first solo album. Jase will always call New York home but currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, where he's been focused on writing, recording, and producing his album, Emerged. The album is described as having a clever, hood-sexy sound with songs that are ultimately about love and life; it's a true display of mature urban music with crossover appeal. While concentrating on the promotion of this solo project, he still performs with the group, singing their hit songs of the mid-nineties as well as their recent songs, including “One Man” featuring Jadakiss. Independent music label, Jasemakermusic, will be releasing this album with plans of worldwide distribution through a major label. Many of the tracks on this album were produced by Jasemakerproductions, Jase's own production company. Music has always been his passion which drives his pursuit. His hard-work and ambition keep him confident that he is “the next best thing – what the industry has been missing”. Jase's first musical influence was his Pop's church where he began singing at an early age around 4 years old. From then on, he was also guided by the music of classic hip-hop and R&B artists and developed his own vocal style. He began singing professionally at age 12 along with three older brothers; the four of them comprised the R&B group, Soul For Real. The group released three albums, the first of which launched their careers. It was released in 1995 under Uptown MCA and featured the hit songs “Candy Rain” and “Every Little Thing I Do.” They toured the United States and overseas promoting these albums, earning a large fan base that remains loyal and has only grown over the years as is evidenced by MySpace and You Tube reviews. Although Jase gained much recognition and popularity in his early teen years, this multi-talented, self-contained superstar has remained grounded. Continuing the verse that started this, “...love it when they screaming my name, but I always remember from where I came. Forget the chains, the rings, and material things, and I lift my eyes to the hills...” There's only one way to go - up!
