ABOUT THE ARTISTS

WILL DOWNING:

Will Downing has established himself as one of the most consistent, soulful singers of his era. For 2 decades, the Brooklyn native has had a solid career as one of the leading purveyors of unapologetic, unabashed romantic music. Will found his musical identity in the early 1990s, and as a result, released the first of a string of successful albums that focused on smooth, romantic music, mostly ballads. At times unfairly lumped with his friend Luther Vandross, Will was actually creating his own brand of romantic music that was less urban and much jazzier. Though his songs were also more sensual than Vandross’s, he shared Luther’s sensibilities, singing to women on a truly romantic level that went beyond the physical. In the 1990s and 2000’s, Will became a regular at the top of the contemporary jazz charts, releasing a number of solid, well received albums.

TALENT:

You’ve seen comedian Talent in the movie “Sunset Park” (as"Butter"), on major TV comedy shows and in music videos. He is currently the host of the “Boston Comedy Club” in NYC. Get ready for this gentle giant to tickle your funny bone!
