Kevin Ross

Kevin Ross is a 24 year-old Washington, DC native singer who's on the come up.  I chose him because he gives off a mature gentleman vibe, not the sexed up, disrespectful male perfumer that we have been forced to deal with over the years.  He is a trained vocalist and performer, as well as a recent graduate of Berklee College of Music, with a degree in songwriting.  He has been compared to legends like Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway, which is definitely a fair comparison.

 He now lives in Atlanta, works as a songwriter, and has a publishing deal with Kon Live.  Kevin has worked with artists like Jaime Foxx, Usher and Akon, and was named "Best New Artist" by AOL Music.      He has also won the award for "Best Male Artist" at the 2009 DMV Entertainment Music Awards.  Take a look at the video for his single "So Incredible" below.

Benny Demus

Producer/writer/DJ/Emcee Benny Demus has been in the music business for a while.  He started out as a DJ in St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands until he moved to New York in 1994 to become a lyricist.
     Since that time, he has become a DJ for Akon, Rock City, and Eve.  He is now finally making a name for himself as a lyricist.  With his self proclaimed "Virgin Islands Hip Hop" style, the uniqueness and talent that is Benny Demus is going to be around for a lot longer than a season.
     Not only is this guy talented, but he has a heart of gold.  According to his website, he personally sponsored the Virgin Islands Men's All Star basketball game, graced the children of St. Croix and St. Thomas schools and juvenile detention centers with the presences of Akon and Rock city as a morale booster.  He has also been recognized by Virgin Islands leadership for these contributions.
     He will be adding actor to his resume soon, as he is slated to make a cameo appearance in the Dwayne Boyd flick entitled "4 Minutes".  His mixtape "Ben In Black" is available for download now.
