Many years before local R& B king Johnal began soothing our ears with his smooth melodic voice, the city of Buffalo had already enjoyed musical history. Singer Rick James, a musical icon of the 1980s that helped define the "punk funk" style of that decade was from the same town of Buffalo.
Born and raised in Buffalo, New York Johnal Lamar Gleen a.k.a Johnal is a true music artist whose multi-dimensional gifts speaks for their self. The third oldest child in a family of five. We were raised by our mother who brought us up in a strong church background, he says. From his church choir to national competitions, Johnal has been singing since the age of fifteen. He is well known through out his city. His inspiration comes from God, his daughter Asia and music itself, he states.
Johnal grew up in the poverty stricken slums of the infamous Goodyear Avenue. After grinding in one of the hardest neighborhoods in Buffalo he formed a three-man group named Off The Block, all the group members grew up in the same hood. The group expanded to a four-man group, and then went to a 2-man group, which lead to Johnal going solo in 2004.
Following his solo debut Johnal completed his most recent project entitled The Take Over Vol 1 . His first solo album is a blazing R & B mix tape that is scorching the radio waves and creating an impressive street buss throughout western New York. The album sets it tone beginning to end with the much-loved, most played single from an independent label entitled Buffalo. Buffalo is receiving heavy radio rotation on buffalo New Yorks #1 Hip Hop/ R&B radio station 93.7 WBLK. With the release of Johnals first solo album on his own label G.M. Entertainment, the 26-year-old singer proves he has what it takes to compete with the majors. Johanal shows the world his creativity, vocal ability and vast talents as they emerge through the well-lyrically structured album. Johnal has written and performed drops for 93.7 WBLK and 92. Jams in Orlando.
Throughout his quest to become an international R&B King Johnal has had the privilege to share the stage with multi- platinum artist such as 50 Cent, Jagged Edge, T.I, Fat Joe, Darnell Jones, Bobby Valentino, Eclipse & many more. The accomplishment he is most proud of is his performance at the world famous Apollo Theater, he says. Johnal have participated in numerous competitions all over his native Buffalo, Ohio, Detroit, and New York. He has yet to lose.
In June of 2005 Johnal started G.M. Entertainment. G.M. Entertainment is his own entertainment company that focuses on marketing and promotions for himself and local artist. Johnal created this company with the mission to promote and expose local acts to a national audience by using creative marketing strategies. Ultimately, Johnal hopes to secure a deal with a major record label or distribution company. He will not sleep until it happens, he states. G.M. has a verity of meaning. It could mean Godly Men, Grown Men Getting Money by making Good Music. The definition thats used the most is Get Money. Get Money is a name that has long gevity. For everyone, Getting Money is an essential part of life. It is his goal to incorporate this universal asset with his music and mission. He has a geninue respect for the art and hopes to share his gift with individuals from all walks of life.
In September 2005, G.M. Entertainment organized a charity event to support the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. G.M. Entertainment brought together every local promoter, upcoming artist, independent label, as well as rival crews forming The Alliance. The Alliance and G.M. put together shows and raised money to donate to the Katrina victims. In the process of raising money G.M. stressed the importance of volunteering, they encouraged individuals to get involved to raise awareness and promote volunteering.
Johnal has taken the first steps in a career that have already shown skill and plenty of opportunity. With the release of The Take Over Vol. 1 Johnal does not follow the same R&B trail, he sets a new trend with his effortless R&B/Hip-Hoppish flow. Johnal advises his audience to sit back and watch as he catapult into the forefront of the R&B movement. I have all facets of the R&B game covered, he states. His album showcases a wide verity of skills. He definitely has a platinum sound that brings a crisp but rugged type of flava to the game. Certainly, he will be a part of the citys legacy.Have you performed in front of an audience?I have sung live numerous places and "yes" I love my job. I am constantly doing shows in my hometown of Buffalo, New York; However, I have performed in New York City, Atlanta, and Detroit. My most memorable performance was at the World Famous Apollo Theater In New York City. Just being on the same stage as a lot of music legends that came before me really inspires me to keep it moving
