The answer: NYpoleon. Born in Trinidad, then moving to New Jersey as a teenager, this up and coming R&B singer is influenced by a wide range of artists. These include Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, Bob Marley and The Notorious BIG. “I love R&B, but I was also influenced by Caribbean music, so it only made sense for me to incorporate all these elements into my sound”, says NYpoleon. It is this blend of genres that allow NYpoleon to truly stand out from his peers. He has been singing and performing music since age 6 and led his church choir as a teenager in Trinidad, becoming known as a dynamic performer and actor. Growing up, NYpoleon used music as a relief when faced with harsh challenges. This also explains why his songs are so real because they all express his true feelings and experiences. Riding high on the success of his independently released album "The Warm Up" that has over 100,000 downloads since its release, NYpoleon is currently promoting his mixtape “Waiting on the 166" which he describes as "a personal journey". Life is a journey and music is my destiny. I wanted my fans to really get to know me on this mixtape". The catchy lead single "keep it on the low" which is a remake of Fabolous "when the money goes" shows off the singer's vocal and songwriting abilities. "This is a body of work that's good enough to be an album. My goal was to create a mixtape that's better than commercially released projects out now". NYpoleon is currently planning a regional tour to promote the mixtape which will be followed by a studio album. The rising star also faced lots of challenges in his life, from his childhood in Trinidad where he saw many of his friends killed or locked up, to surviving an almost fatal fall head first, which left him hospitalized and in critical condition. Although still mentally scarred from these and other experiences, he would later physically recover with a new purpose to life. “After being through all I’ve been through, it’s easy to have a negative perspective of life. But I now believe my unfortunate experiences happened for a reason, and that is for me to share my story with the world. My music is my therapy. It heals the wounds and my fans feel my pain. It’s real” says the 6’3” R&B singer. Now seeking his true purpose in life, he decided to move to New Jersey to pursue a music career. He used his own money and recorded several songs and mixtapes, which created buzz on the streets and led to a role in the independent film “Demo”. Continuing from these successes, he continued recording new material, which led to his debut album “The Warm Up”. Every so often an artist comes around that goes against the norms and turns the industry on its head. NYpoleon is such an artist. You can look forward to seeing this young star shine for a long time to come!
