Musician/Producer
and Multi-instrumentalist Fernandez Billingslea, aka Urban Blu, has recently
released his new digital release “Electric Winter” with a rave response. The
Jazz Network Worldwide jumps on the bandwagon of this artist's new found glory
as he propels to #1 on the Jazz charts in Atlanta on Reverbnation.
The Jazz
Network Worldwide is proud to support Urban Blu’s expertise as an accomplished
producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist creating a non-traditional
approach to jazz compositions as he climbs the Reverberation charts with his current
single digital release of “Electric Winter”.
“After
closely listening to “Electric Winter” I heard different conversations,
cohesively gathered with different musical flavors comprised of Miles
Davis-type trumpet riffs, against funk/jazz foundations showered with some rock
guitar, laid into the maze of musical flavors. I sensed emotional stories, all
wrapped in one thrust, showing changes that brings the listener to different
realms of thought. Sounds like the perfect foundation for a love-scene in a
motion picture where love takes you many places of heart” says Jaijai Jackson,
creator of The Jazz Network Worldwide.
Urban
Blu comes from one of the most music rich southern cities, Macon Georgia. Over
decades, Macon has produced several known musical artists, i.e. James Brown,
The Allman Brothers Band, Little Richard, Sea Level, and Otis Redding to name a
few. Blu demonstrated his musical spirit and God-given talent at a very early
age, with his first instrument being the Clarinet, then moved onto the
saxophone where his improvisation skills began to develop. It was when he
discovered the drums that he accepted his fate and focused on being a drummer.
By the time he entered the 12th grade he was one of the youngest most sought
after professional drummers around Macon. This positioned him to gain valuable
knowledge from seasoned musicians with several local bands like the ”“Reddings”
and “Shabazz”.
Later in
his career, he established his own recording company in Atlanta and formed his
own band ‘Urban Blu’. Not long after their first album “Out Of The Blu” was
released, they were catapulted as the best local band in that region. This
positioning created opportunities to share stages with national artists like
Najee, Herbie Hancock, TS Monk, Eric Benet, Cassandra Wilson, Tuck & Patti,
Steve Turre & Sanctified Shells, Regina Carter, Claudia Villella, Cyrus
Chestnut, Papo Vazquez, David S. Ware, Amel, Dr. Billy Taylor, Soul To Soul,
and Gonzalo Rubalcaba.
The
start of 2015 began on a high note for Urban Blu, for “Electric Winter” rapidly
rocketed up the Reverbnation local jazz charts to #1 and continues to make
leaps and bound across national, global, and “all genres” category charts.
Reverrbnation is interested in submitting his music for major motion picture
productions and online gaming opportunities.
There’s
a tremendous music buzz lurking over the social media communities that includes
FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat and major online Digital Music
Distribution sites like Itunes and CDBaby. There’s no wonder that the
foundation of his website (www.urbanbluemusic.com) a social network itself, is
the perfect platform for his fans to become viral marketers supporting the
growth of his musical expertise and upcoming releases. Urban Blu contributes a
portion of each download of “Electric Winter” to the Love Hope Strength
Foundation (LHS) which is the world’s leading rock-and-roll cancer foundation
dedicated to saving lives, one concert at a time. (www.lovehopestrength.org)
