King of Hip Hop Soul, CR Retains KLPR Group as his Public Relations Firm

July 21, 2010 - PRLog -- New York, NY -  With his sultry vocals, captivating lyrics, and hypnotic beats, Recording Artist CR is a multi faceted power house of talent.  He is a singer, songwriter, producer, and engineer. Using his music and technical expertise, he has created a style of music that reinvents Hip Hop/ R&B and gives it a refreshing new sound.

CR’s musical genius was crafted by the influences of two musical parents – his mother, a songstress and his father, a percussionist and vocalist – which continue to influence his aspirations today. The soulful singer was born in Washington, DC and raised in Baltimore. CR grew up listening to music acts such as James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Boyz II Men, D' Angelo, and Jodeci and they taught him how one can be inspired to do greatness with their own music.

The multi talented CR made his music career debut in 2006 when his first single “Know You Better” hit the Baltimore air waves at 92.3 WERQ (a Radio One station) and ranked as the No.5 most played song amongst any genre. In 2007, CR continued to demand attention from his native city, headlining various shows and opening a performance for recording artists, Tank and Raheem Davaughn.

KLPR Group is based in New York and currently represents several recording artist such as Olivia, Krys Ivory, Vaughn Anthony and now CR.  The boutique firm also represents Radio Personality, Cherry Martinez of New York's WWPR Power 105.1, and Young Entrepreneur Empowerment Coalition (YEEC) Co Founder/ New Voices 2010 Tour Executive Producer James A. Smith.  KLPR Group is also currently working on the New Voices Tour with Angela and Vanessa Simmons and Antonio and Aaron Reid.

When asked about working with CR, Kathy Liautaud of KLPR Group stated, “CR is an amazing artist; he is multi talented, he sings, writes, produces, and arranges his own music. He is a breath of fresh air to the industry; he doesn't compromise himself to follow the popular trend. CR is a music renaissance man”.

2008 began an unparalleled year for the talented artist, as his highly anticipated album, “Show & Tell”, was released. Fans and supporters expressed high expectations from the project, and rightfully so. The album was well received and both music critics and fans loved the album.  CR has branded himself as a true artist, capable of delivering pure perfection. Perseverance is what made CR what he is today. Still inspired by other greats such as James Brown, Jay Z, Nas, Usher, Will I AM and T-Pain, in today's music world CR is sure to incorporate his unique style and sound that will have listeners begging for more.

Today, the singing sensation is currently working with Hakim Najm, Founder of Dream Star/ Nappy Boy Entertainment. Najm is the brother of Grammy Award winning artist & producer T-Pain. Adding new ingredients to a timeless recipe – CR is guaranteed to leave a path for other artists to emulate.
