Che Is Here: Artist Spotlight..Adrian..

Artist: Adrian McKinnon

Label: The Academy/Asylum/Atlantic

Album: State Of The Art (Coming Soon)

I've been following Adrian's music career since last summer (07'). Since then I've had him on my radio show for one of the most interesting and enjoyable interviews I've ever had. Born in Spokane, Washington..Adrian is far more than a singer; he also writes and produces his own music. Not only can he do it but his label has given him total creative control over the entire project (thats crazy!). Adrian is a breath of fresh air to the R&B genre; this dude is as smooth as they come..So ladies get ready, because this man Adrian is the truth and the music is gonna be soulful and all that good stuff. He comes from a family of musicians so he has plenty to live up to and it gave him the ability to advance his talents in all areas which has propelled him to become an amazing overall artist. His album "State of the Art" was due to be released in the Spring but Adrian is taking a little more time to get things just right, lets remember "Full Creative Control" so he knows when it'll be ready. As for right now all of his fans and soon to be fans can check out the myspace www.myspace.com/adrianmckinnon to check out some tracks from the up coming album "State of the Art". He's got slow jams like the track "Patient" (which dives into the complex world of relationships). You also get those more up tempo sexy songs like "Temptation". And his newest song on the myspace "Forever" which is just simply a hott track. Most definitely be on the look out for Adrian in the very near future and keep your ears open because he's a song writer which means you might hear your favorite R&B stars singing an Adrian written and produced track! Also have to shout out Jamel Johnson and the whole Academy staff who do a great job managing Adrian...here are some videos of Adrian singing live...Enjoy.
