Qwote Interview
Filed under: R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
Over the past few years, Miami’s ‘305’ area code has been well represented in the music industry by both the city’s new school (Rick Ross, Plies) and old school artists (Trick Daddy, Trina). The only problem, however, is that the intense Florida spotlight has only been shining on hip-hop–that is, until now. Using his crafty lyrical skill and his compelling vocals, R&B/Pop singer Qwote recently nabbed …

Novel Interview
Filed under: R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
Next time you purchase an album, hard copy or digital, take a moment to glance over the production credits. Chances are you’ll notice a glaring difference between the artists of today and the artists of yesteryear - very few actually write or produce their own music. Big budget acts such as Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige and even Justin Timberlake often fail to contribute more than …

One Chance Interview
Filed under: R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
In November of 2005, R&B quartet One Chance appeared on the soundtrack to Usher’s “In The Mix” with the radio-killer “That’s My Word.” Almost two and a half years later, though, fans of the foursome have been left to wonder whether or not the group will ever release their debut album. Amidst speculation that the Chicago-based act has had problems with label politics (the group is …

Bobby V Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, R&B, Interviews

Sean “The Pen” Garrett Interview
Filed under: Pop, Producer, R&B, Songwriter, We Got Next, Interviews
Pick a song you’ve heard multiple times on the radio over the past few years. If the record reached #1, chances are that it was penned by none other than Sean Garrett. Responsible for 13 –no, that is not a misprint—number 1 records since 2005, Garrett no doubt receives holiday cards from the likes of Usher (Yeah!), Chris Brown (Wall to Wall), Fergie (London Bridge) and …

Colby O’Donis Interview
Filed under: R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
Signed to Akon’s Konvict Muzik for the past two years and counting, singer Colby O’Donis is finally getting his opportunity to shine. Amidst releases from his label boss, and everyone’s favorite feature man, T-Pain, O’Donis has stayed patient and worked long hours on his debut project. Entitled “Colby O,” the album will feature extensive work with Akon, as well as label mates Da Spokesman and Don’t …

TQ Interview
Filed under: R&B, Street Veterans, Interviews
If you ask anyone to list two or three West Coast artists, who’ve made an impact on the urban music landscape, you’d undoubtedly hear names like Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg. Not given the credit he deserves, however, is R&B singer TQ, who has been recording music and penning lyrics for the past ten years. Personally responsible for the current trend in “reality R&B,” …

D. Woods Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, R&B, Interviews
D. Woods, of Bad Boy Records’ Danity Kane, is a self-proclaimed “chameleon.” In addition to her work as one fifth of the platinum-selling singing group, Woods is a talented songwriter and entrepreneur. Heck, when Beyonce was telling all the independent women to stand up, D. Woods was already on her feet. In addition to her work on Danity Kane’s forthcoming sophomore release, “Welcome to the Dollhouse,” …

On April 8, Ray J will release “All I Feel,” his fourth studio album in the last eleven years. From the moment he first appeared on the music scene at the age of 14, however, a lot has changed in both his personal and professional lives.

Tiffany Evans Interview
Filed under: Pop, R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
At the age of 15, most teenage girls spend their time working out problems with boys, clothes and school. Columbia Records recording artist Tiffany Evans, however, is not “most teenage girls.” This April she will release her self-titled debut album, four months before she turns 16. Despite what her birth certificate may say, Evans feels she has been forced to mature quicker than most teens her …
