2011-2012 Unsigned R&B Artists to Watch Out for

Thousands of talented singers or musicians out there are waiting for their time to shine - for the right time that they would be recognized by a record label and be able to have thousands of people listening to their songs and screaming their names out loud. These unsigned R&B artists are sometimes as good as and sometimes way better than the ones who have already signed a recording contract. Most of the times they are actually more gifted than those who already have record deals.

This article lists some of those unsigned R&B artists who are talented (and more gifted), and who deserves to have their big break with a major record label someday soon.

•    Paul Hill – He is a singer-songwriter-producer from Detroit who has already worked with Dallas Austin, George Clinton, and Too Short. He’s a soulful R&B artist who has a few songs listed on the internet including his laid back, romantic jam entitled “Spacing on MySpace”. Hill has already toured with George Clinton and the Parliament/Funkadelic, shared stage with the likes of James Brown, Lauren Hill, Snoop Dogg, etc., appeared on both Jay Leno and David Letterman, and performed at the Grammy Awards, and the BET 25th Anniversary Show.
•    Fernando Carlo – He is a soulful young R&B and Gospel singer who’s very talented like any of the top Soul vocalists in the US. He has a smooth, Latin lover-type style which can be compared to big artists like Brian McKnight, Will Downing, George Benson, and even Luther Vandross.
•    Jayms Madison – She is a singer born in 1987 from the Bronx, New York which later on moved to Jamaica at the age of 2 then Venezuela at 9 years old and back to the US a year later. Jayms has managed to develop her talent for singing and songwriting. By going to her MySpace Page, you can hear her songs about relationships and love.
•    Singnature – they are a traditional male vocal group from Rochester, N.Y. and who was formerly known as Street Squad. This group has already performed at many festivals, venues, major shows, and concerts. They have opened for Trey Songs, Luducris, Tank, and many more.
•    Just Perry – This guy has a pure voice, songs with great lyrics, and unique sound. His first single was “Born a Hero” from his self-titled CD, and draws influences from R-Kelly to Jay-Z.
•    Melanie Rutherford – Rutherford is one of the many talented unsigned R&B artists out there who deserves a record deal. She is from Michigan and independently released an album called “Relationships in My Own Words” in 2007. Her album talks about real issues such as broken relationships, life struggles, as well as unconditional love.
