In the Spotlight

Durand Bernarr, 23 years old
Cleveland, OH, USA





I first heard this young artist last week on the Rickey Smiley Morning show on WEDR 99Jamz. They played a remix of Kanye West's song "Flashing Lights" that featured Durand AKA alcoholharmony. I really enjoyed his spin on a now "old" song. His voice is different that any R&B singer on the radio now. He is funky and soulful. After googling him I found his channel on Youtube and watched a few videos. I must say I am pleasantly surprised! He is truly a talented singer. When asked about his genre of music he only claims "freestyle soul" and states that he never wants to be put in the box of being one particular kind of singer/artist. He has 3 albums online and available for purchase. Support this up and coming artist, he is sure to make waves!
