Artist Bio:
“Stunning,” “flawless” and “moving” are just a few of the words that have been used to describe the crystal clear vocals of Inspirational Artist Robert E. Person. With an amazing timbre, superior vocal control and spirited delivery, Person provides the perfect recipe for a memorable music experience. Although his vocal prowess brings to mind other excellent vocalists such as Daryl Coley, Larnelle Harris, and David Phelps; Robert has a unique gifting all his own. His special talent has caught the ear of the industry – including jazz legend and GRAMMY Award winner George Benson, R&B singer Kelly Price and Gospel artists Karen Clark Sheard and J Moss, who he has sung background vocals for. He has also lent his vocals to two Stellar Award Nominated artists: Mike McCoy & Voices United and John “Bucky” Tillery. In addition, he’s delivered two impressive Gospel projects, The Call and Next Level. Recently, this artist put the finishing touches on his third REP Music release entitled Soul Sanctuary and it showcases this singer at his finest.
Hailing from the Nation’s Capital, Person developed his talent as a youth. Person recounts his musical beginnings. “I was in a lot of youth programs here in the city,” says the artist. “I was part of the D.C. Youth Ensemble which encompassed musical theatre – music, drama, and dance and was started by Carol Foster for school age children. For me, my professional training really started there. In addition to singing, I started piano lessons as a little boy.”
Later, he attended Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and the University of the District of Columbia (UDC). While in college, his appreciation for music was cultivated. There, he studied Music with an emphasis on vocal performance. It was at UDC where Robert met and developed long-lasting musical relationships with all of the co-producers of “The Call”.
