Carter Anderson
Carter Anderson is the Kentucky-born, Maryland-raised singer/songwriter that wants to explore every facet of what R&B really means. His youthful, yet soulful voice demands attention and dictates a story of love that anyone can appreciate and take something meaningful from.
He bases his influence on classic soulful vocalists such as Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, and Donny Hathaway. He shares his love of music with producers Donald King and Terrance Lewis, who contributed to his upcoming initial album release, Not The Last Gentleman.
The album is a virtual voyage for the heart and soul. It mainly focuses its energy and attention on those who believe that, in this day and age, chivalry is dead. A lot of women seem to be convinced that there are no good men left. With Not The Last Gentleman, I want to let them know that we still exist. We still want to open their doors, pull out their chairs, and cherish their presence.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have performed at many nightclubs in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, inculding Ooh La La and the Juste Lounge.
My most memorable moment to this day has to be my performance of Stevie Wonder's "Ribbon In The Sky" at the Apollo Theatre in New York City.
Your musical influences
Brian McKnight, Jamie Foxx, Boyz II Men, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross, Sam Cooke
