On
Monday, June 23th, S.O.B.'s presents an evening with Grammy-nominated
R&B singer Dwele; an artist who is not just a singer but
also a talented songwriter, producer and musician.
After recording his first album, 'Rize' in his bedroom the singer came
to the attention of group Slum Village while gigging at a local Detroit
club and was subsequently asked to sing on the groups album Trinity:
Past, Present and Future. Since that auspicious beginning Dwele has been
steadily contributing his creative genius to a plethora of projects.
Most recently Dwele was featured on the commercially and critically acclaimed
Kanye West album, Graduation. He provided the vocals for West's song
'Flashing Lights' and the recording garnered three Grammy nominations
for the musical pair. Before that Dwele lent his vocals to Common's single
'The People' on the rapper's 2007 release 'Finding Forever'. Besides
the high profile features that Dwele has to his name his solo offerings
are equally as captivating to audiences. With his first major release
Subject in 2003 and the sophomore follow-up 2005's Some Kinda under his
belt, as well as new music not yet officially released, the singer has
an extensive and impressive repertoire.
S.O.B.'s is New York's premier venue for R&B and neo-soul, having
served as the launch pad for the careers of such stars as John Legend,
Erikah Badu and Raheem DeVaughn and the venue continues to present the
best that the genres R&B and Soul has to offer with this performance
by the incomparable Dwele.
