WAYNA
" She 's incredible " Stevie Wonder

Wayna's Moments of Clarity, Book 1 is a standout on the indie front" - Billboard Magazine

"Moments of Clarity is a compelling and varied chapter of contemporary R&B...Wayna is one to watch. " -Essence Magazine

"Lauryn Hill is a close comparison...Every track is a pleasure to listen to." - Music Monthly

E. BLAND
This artist's silky smooth delivery is a gift that has already touched many around the world. Elements of funk, jazz, and R&B are fused into his unique brand of SOUL music. He blesses his humble sound as a singer, songwriter, producer & multi-instrumentalist. It has even been mentioned that he is known for playing every instrument on stage at some point during his performances. In 2007 he released his self-produced debut album "Just Me" and his sophomore LP "Soulcentric" is scheduled to be released at the end of this summer. With a healthy blend of passion, purpose, faith, and love, his music is an honest expression of SOUL that fits the mold of a true artist.
