Album Notes

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, this gifted as well as talented artist is following along the same path of Cleveland's greatest R & B artists, while making a name for him.

Quoted as "The Voice....The Balladeer for the 21st century," STAN has opened for such acts as Will Downing and the great Rudy Ray Moore (Dolemite). Mr. Moore made a special guest appearance on Stan's upcoming album, "Velvet Soul."

STAN mesmerizes his audience with his melancholy voice, leaving one wanting more. He tantalizes the ladies with his stage persona. Soulful and inspiring, his velvet voice brings back the true essence of yesterday's "Soul" music. He is also a talented instrumentalist. He plays drums, guitar, bass and keyboards on his upcoming album "Velvet Soul."

Inspired by such R & B pioneers like Stevie Wonder, Al Green and the late Donny Hathaway, Stan has what the music industry is looking for and will surely exceed the "one-hit wonder" status.

STAN is the former lead singer/songwriter/producer of the Cleveland based R & B group "KATZZ." Their hit "My Everything" was the number 1 R & B record in Cleveland.

STAN's latest acclaim includes his spotlight debut showcasing his talent by singing the National Anthem in front of thousands of boxing fans at Cleveland's Gund Arena for ESPN's Friday Night Fights. He performed as an opening act for the legendary Smokey Robinson in Cleveland at the Scene Pavilion on July 3, 2003.

Well skilled in his craft, his songwriting and ability to capture an audience will truly amaze the non-believer. So, be on the lookout for "STAN" and his solo debut "Velvet Soul." He is truly one of God's greatest creations backed by a sound that is untouchable.
