AJ DeBravo
A Singer's Singer!
People I 'm telling you
this guy can
sing, sing, sing! AJ DeBravo has an incredible four and a half octave
voice range, and a seasoned ability to interpret a song, any song.
He also sings a variety of music styles, to include: R&B, Club/Dance,
Pop, Blues, and Jazz; each with energy and passion. He
is best described as a gifted vocalist with a unique ability to
bring out the "heart and soul" of a song. Moreover,
he knows how to cover a song. Very few singers can take someone
else's song and make it their own. Singers like Luther Vandross
and Patti Labelle are able to do that. Now add to that list
the name: AJ DeBravo.
When
you take the A-Train with DeBravo, you'll never know who will get
on board.
At the first stop, on the Jazz Platform, you might hear his renditions
of such great jazz artists like: Billie Holiday, Joe Williams, Nat
King Cole, and Frank Sinatra. Take the DeBravo
train downtown and you might hear blues selections from artists
like: BB King, John Lee Hooker, Eric Clapton, and ZZ Hill.
DeBravo
credits his music beginnings to an older brother, his high school
band, and the professional training he received while serving in
the U.S Military. As a child, he honed his singing skills on the
street corners of Baltimore. As an adult, he refined those singing
and performing skills in the casino lounges of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Additionally, he points to having studied
with the likes of world renown Hollywood trainer, vocal and acting
coach: Jon Gregory. DeBravo also credits his training with Sye Mitchell,
a nationally renown music producer with more than twelve gold albums
to his credit for defining the art of music production for him.
Instruction which paid off, because in 1994 he managed to garnish
the attention of the HITMAKERS music
magazine, which featured him two months in a row, on his previous
CD release, "Coming Out At Last" which he co-produced
with writing partner Edgar W. Brown Jr.
Take
a listen to DeBravo's latest CD entitled:
"Klassic Kutzs & Romantic Nights"
which features some 13 selections, 11 of which are classic R &
B remakes, that vary from Club/Dance to Urban/R&B. The CD also
features some pretty funky renditions of "My Funny Valentine
and What A Difference A Day Makes. To find
