Jarrard Anthony has been called the "Mr. Independent" of R&B/Urban music. He has been able to almost single handedly create an international presence, selling thousand’s of cd’s at live shows and online, with tireless self promotion and stunning abilities as a songwriter, singer, and producer, and performer on his UK released EP "The Dream" and his newest US released LP "Don't Sleep...Just Dream". JA's signature sound is as seductive as it is refreshing. With soulful songs that inspire and a style that appeals, JA is poised to become one of the top artist/producer/writers of this generation.

At 19, Jarrard released his first independent commercial recording. A single, titled "So-D-vine”. This song went on to be the second most requested song in the Central Virginia, USA area at its peak. Following the release of the single, Jarrard took time to record a debut LP titled "The Dream" for the indie-label, Thermite Records. "The Dream" was released in the UK, under theThermite /Stonegroove/ Recordings imprint, as an EP and gained critical acclaim and press as the title track held the #2 radio spot in the country for several weeks. Jarrard was even offered a major recording contract in the US, but declined due to contractual stipulations that would have been creatively limiting. After the buzz generated by the Thermite/Stonegroove/ EP, Jarrard took two years to create what he feels is just the first true chapter in the book of his career. With a production team including Nate Smith (Micheal Jackson, Monifah), Bob Baldwin (Jazz keyboard legend), Nolan Doran and Joe McMinn (O-town, Olivia)..."Don't Sleep...Just Dream" became a mission to make music not just for the ears, but for the heart and soul.
"Everything up until now was the preparation, Now is time to start the journey"

Today, with influences ranging from Stevie Wonder to Seal, Jarrard continues to establish himself as a show stopping performer, prolific songwriter, and a gentleman above all else. He has written songs for several major label acts including Howard Hewett, Bobby Lyle (Three Keys.WEA), Tonia Woods (Renata/Sony), amongst others. He's done studio work with Levi Little (former lead singer of Blackstreet), CJ Lewis (International Superstar), Jaared (Three Keys saxophonist), producer Joshua Thompson's (O-town, Joe, Case, Babyface) Pop/R&B group Bling Dynasty, and top pop music producer Desmond Child (Mariah Carey, Aerosmith, Ricky Martin. Most recently, He concluded a tour of the UK highlighted with a performance at "the legendary" Southport Weekender, the only indie soul artist on the event, which also featured performances by Kindred, The Family Soul, and Donnie, and Myron. He has performed live at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, NY, USA, national television programs such as the Dish Networks “8101 w/ Michele Wright”, and US radio syndicated, The Doug Banks Morning Show Jam Session along with LL Cool J and Monica. He has also performed with and opened for The O-Jays, Silk, Anthony Hamilton, Cam'ron, Amerie, Bob Baldwin, Pieces of a Dream, Roy Ayers and many others. Jarrard continues to tour and perform throughout the US.
"I write about the things I see in life, as long as I live a life I'll have a song"
-ja

"Don't Sleep...Just Dream" is a testament to Jarrard's versatility and passion for his craft.

Life is the path, Love is the destination. This is the soundtrack to your journey.

    author: Kandi

    I love this CD, it is nice for a drive or chilling here in my office.

  • author: jerzy

    His sound is similar to Eric Roberson but with less of an Urban swing to it. That's a compliment because Mr. Roberson is off the chain! Good Stuff here.

  • nice music
    author: Simon

    My favorite song is What's Going Down. There are nice pictures as well, but credits and other notes are difficult to be read... A very good CD anyway!

    author: Justus Entertainment (indie label) Va. Beach, Va

    Bought your album last week and loved it. My staff has been reviewing it for a week, and we would love to license some of your music on our upcoming compilation. Your vibe is right in line with what we have to offer. Need some contact info. E-mail me at justusvabeach@hotmail.com so I can get some more info. Album got 4 stars because mix could be better. We would love to help with that as well as repackage and really promote your album. Other than that album is 5 stars all the way. Get at me, I think we can do things together. "Sweet memories", "candy", and especially "don't ever" are hot.

  • Jarrard's deep, warm and sensual voice will keep you awake
    author: SaveOurSoul

    Jarrard Anthony is a singer/songwriter from Richmond(Va). His deep, warm and sensual voice will keep you awake as you listen to his debut album Don't Sleep....Just Dream... Jarrard uses the advantage of being a songwriter and singer to put all his emotions harmoniously together on this soulful album. Most of the songs are ballads, on which you can dance very intimate, but on "What's Going Down" you surely will shake your booty and get down. Jarrard Anthony really knows how to give each song the right touch. If you feel like romance you have to give "Don't Sleep.... Just Dream..." a chance.(TA)

    author: Rochelle

    I was really impressed with his music. I wasn't too sure what to expect but the strength in his music made me think he'd been in the game for awhile. I fell in love with his melodic tone. He's one artist I'll expect to see a lot of. Much love J.

  • Don't Sleep...Just Buy!
    author: Barry Towler ("The Lowdown" - Soul Express)

    Jarrard Anthony commits himself to quality on this album of modern urban flavours and quality soul ballads. The single release, Sweet Memories, is a radio hit and other songs such as Lovesick, Can't Believe You Cheated, In Your Eyes and The Dream will appeal greatly too, especially with the help of friends as jazzy as Bob Baldwin and Bobby Lyle! Great stuff and a name to watch out for.
