Rashaad Jamal Pressley was born in Miami, Florida in 1985. He moved to Atlanta, GA in 1998 and attended Georgia Institute of Technology. He currently resides in Atlanta. Jamal has always had an interest in music. Learning how to play piano at the age of 6, he continued playing different instruments throughout school. During high school, he discovered a software sequencing program called Fruity Loops and taught himself to program beats. He drew his inspiration from many musical influences, including jazz, hip hop, classical and reggae music. Jamal worked on songs with several local groups and for a short time was affiliated with a production team called GHOP (Georgia’s Hottest Original Producers). More recently he’s had the chance to work with Grammy award winning producer, Sim Stevenson

 Murphy II is a songwriter, producer and engineer. He was raised in a very musical family in metro-Atlanta, GA.  By the age of six, he was singing solos in the church choir. Throughout junior high and college, he traveled throughout the United States and abroad, performing with highly renowned choirs. While attending college in Huntsville, AL, he began an internship with Sound Cell Recording Studios where he learned how to produce as well as engineer from Doug Jansen Smith who has worked with many highly established artists. Upon completion of college, he returned to Atlanta and began an internship with Bruce Bennett at Bruce Bennett Studios in Stone Mountain, GA who also has worked with many prominent artists. Bruce became a great influence by helping shape his production and engineering skills while encouraging him to become creative in his writing. He has a strong love for Hip Hop that dates back to the early 90’s where he was influenced by many poetic artists of that era. This love has helped him breed a distinctive, unique yet smooth and captivating sound.

 Paul Jones was born in Jacksonville FL. (DUVAL). He started writing when he was a teenager.  As a child, he would recite poems and scriptures in church.  Most of the poetry was written by his aunt.  As Paul grew older, he started constructing personal poems and began searching for his own writing and performance style.  As time progressed, he added a hip hop approach to his poetic prose.  This led to freestyling, writing rhymes and lyrical battles with friends in high school.  While in college, Paul joined a spoken word group called Art-n-Soul.  This organization played a crucial role in his writing style and performance development.

 After moving to Atlanta, GA, Paul got more involved with music and writing.  He helped start a short lived band called “Alter Ego” with Jeremiah Turner and Maeling Tapp.   He came in contact with Jamal Press through Maeling.  Soon, Jamal Press became a musical mentor to him.  Later, Ms. Tapp introduced Paul to her boyfriend Murphy II.  They were acquaintances but never thought about pursuing music together.  After running into each other at a show in East Atlanta, Murphy asked Paul if he was interested in doing a song with him   and they began to correspond via twitter and email.  Paul was impressed with his musical style and told him that his friend Rashaad (Jamal Press) made beats.  Murphy invited them to the studio and that was the start of….The Chase

Thanks,

UEP Music Submission: Producer J-Mo ft. Young Cypher "Do It"

 

I am Jeremy Moore aka Producer JMO ON THE TRACK, 23 years old from
Mobile, Alabama. I’ve been involved with music for sixteen years now
and have mastered the art, sound, and musical intelligence of a
Composer and Super Producer. I started playing drums when I was seven,
so my drums have something to show for. As I grew older, I used my
talent for drums, and my singing for choir, in my hometown church. At
the beginning of sixth grade I began to construct instrumentals and
composed my first track. Later, I took on mastering other instruments
including trumpet and piano. In High School, I was involved with the
Marching Band and Jazz Band to broaden my horizon of musical sound and
gave me the chance to understand and really study each instrument
diligently. Music became my whole life and career choice the moment I
found myself surrounded by it everyday. My true passion and goal, is
to be heard musically throughout the world and work with various
artists from any genre. I will strive for what ever it takes, and with
only faith in God to bless me with thought and soul toward every piece
of music I compose, I am confident in each and every track I
accomplish.

My drive for music is in my blood from my Father, an R&B singer and
songwriter, who is the person I get my inspiration from and keeps me
motivated to stay up all night and even full days, just to keep
producing. My urge to become a greater Producer led me to pursue a
college degree in Recording arts, to expand my knowledge for work, so
I currently attend Full Sail University. Being based in Orlando, FL
keeps me networking constantly and having my manager and closest
friend Brad Hudock here with me allows me to keep my business and my
profession rolling at all times. We are now accepting to work with
anyone who is willing to share our strive to be heard by millions of
people…I always like to think big, as you can tell from my music and I
have faith that everyone will love me, JMO ON THE TRACK, and I am out
to prove myself to the world! FOLLOW THE MUSIC!...... STREET ALBUM
COMING SOON Called  "BITE ON THIS: The Express Lane"

The track we are sending called "Do It" that has rapper @YoungCypher,
also an underground artist, is a Single off of this Street Album "BITE
ON THIS: The Express Lane" hope you enjoy it!

UEP Music Submission : Yung Snazz "Bands"

I never thought that my life would be where it is today". Most people can relate to this saying at some point in their lives. No matter how planned out you make your life, sometimes life has other plans. Jasmine "Yung Snazz" Lyons was born September 25th 1989 in Detroit, MI. She was raised by her mother. "Growing up was hard for me emotionally. I didn't have that two parent home that you see on T.V". The lack of her father's presence never interferes with her dreams and goals. Yung had always had a lover for music since a very early age. "My first experience with music was in the third grade when I learned to play the violin". She went on to join the glee club and was sometimes teased because she seemed to be the only kid in her class that thought the glee club was cool. Her first big musical moment took place when she was ten. "I never thought I was much of a singer, but I had heart and worked hard. I got my first big moment at my schools Christmas program". From that day forward she became addicted to the spotlight. "The poetic feel of Hip Hop was the thing that got me into rapping". Through most of her junior high years, Yung went through stages of depression. "I felt alone. My dad was never around anymore and I was still mourning the loss of my grandmother". Artists like Eminem and Jay-Z helped to keep her afloat. She began to write poetry to escape and vent about the hardships in her life. "Hip Hop saved me. It was my escape My poetry soon turned into something different; rap". Yung's style is a versatile one. She makes music that makes you dance and just want to have a good time such as "The Anthem" and "Last Night". On the other hand songs such as "King of Sorrand and Back Against the Wall" are more on the conscious end of the music spectrum. "I still have a long way to go from here. It's the beginning of something that I'm hoping is bigger than what I'm expecting
