Up and coming R&B singer and songwriter, FORTE. Take a listen and find out what the rest of the world is falling in love with!
Why this name?
Forte by definition, is a source of strength or a fortress. Through all the rough times in my life, I have always been a Forte for other people to rely on, even when I myself was down and out. Through it all, i'm still a FORTE!!
Do you play live?
YES!! I usually play in venues in the LA area. My most recent shows have included BB Kings at universal city walk, Hollywood and Forbiden City nightclub in Hollywood.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it makes it harder for artists to sell their music because fans can easily get copies of our music for free. They may not know it, but they are taking money out of our pockets by doing so!! if you're a true fan, you would BUY your artist's music!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes
Band History:
@ the age of 22, Forte came EXPLODING into the music industry scene in late 2006 when he collaborated with a rap group called F.A.M. (Forever About Music) while in Japan. He recorded with them on their recently released album called 'Southern Kingz', and is featured on 6 of the 17 songs on the album. Writing all his own lyrics and melodies, he found a talent he never knew he had in songwriting and arranging so he immediately started working on his own projects. Forte has been writing hit after hit ever since. Currently, Forte is living it up @ home in the L.A. area, keeping up with his craft. He is currently in the studio writing and recording his upcoming album, 'Astray Amour'. Updates to this page to come SOON!! (pictures, songs, show schedule, ect...) Looking toward the future, the release of 'Astray Amour' is scheduled for early 2008, so stay tuned!!.
