Hot, sexy dance number that sounds like it could be an old school Prince groove!

An interplanetary blend of pop, dance, urban and ballads with an enigmatic style that draws you in with lyrics and vocals that sometimes soar like Bowie or Gaha
When Saturn was five, if you awoke early enough on a Sunday morning, you'd catch him outside on the porch, his tiny feet buried in his grandmother's high heels and her Sunday hat falling lopsided on his head, singing out his favorite gospel hymns to the top of his lungs. Fast forward twenty years and he's lost the heels and the hat, but he's still singing. Writing songs that run the gamut of genres from pop to dance to urban, Saturn infuses his own funky blend of pop/urban music with a raw edge and sensuality that is heavily influenced by such icons as Prince and Madonna. "It's a sultry, pop-laden mix that is a throwback to the late "80s sound. Think R&B. Think jazz. Think club music think again! It's ART." (Ed Mannix, Outmusic) Though Saturn started writing songs when he was 12, it wasn't until much later he decided to step out on faith and pursue his dream of music. He graduated with honors from Texas Christian University with a degree in TV/Film/Theatre. He's had leading roles in numerous professional shows including "Six Degrees of Separation", "Angels in America", and "Much Ado About Nothing", and he's also starred in the Independent films "Playin' for the Kitty" and "The Last Days of Winter". While busy acting, he won awards with his short stories and screenplays and worked alongside J. Todd Harris (producer of the recent "Urbania") for J. Todd Harris Productions in LA. Not until 2002 did Saturn decide to finally try his hand at music and produce an album. After re-locating to his birthplace of Baltimore, MD, Saturn formed his own label SJG Entertainment and began to create his first CD. The studio he found that could fit his budget was actually a basement and consisted of a Yamaha AW4416 Hard Disk Recorder, an AKAI MPC 2000 XL MIDI, and a Marshal microphone. Using only his Yamaha PSR-540 home keyboard Saturn played all the music, sang all the vocals and produced all the songs to his debut, "The Virgin Poet". Released independently in July 2002, The Virgin Poet proved to be quite a unique experience to listeners and defied being placed in a genre. In support of the album, Saturn performed solo at open mics, Pride Festivals in DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, most recently appeared at the Meow Mix in Manhattan and Ed Mannix's "A Circle of Berdaches" in Brooklyn. The most notable performance was a full concert which he produced at Eubie Blake National Institute of Jazz in May 2003. Also in 2003, Saturn was honored to be a featured artist on Audiofile. Audiofile is a segment of "This Way Out", a gay and lesbian radio news magazine that is broadcast nationally on over 130 stations. Songs from "The Virgin Poet" receive airplay on 91.7 FM KOOP Austin, TX and KPFT 90.1 FM in Houston, TX as well independent webcast stations. These days Saturn is busy at work on a new CD, is still performing when he can, and will embark on a search for dancers, musicians, and a manager to take him to the next level of his career. With only one year in the indie music biz, he's turning heads, raising eyebrows and looking forward to what is shaping up to be long and promising career.

Lyrics
“Seventeen” Heavenly, baby, less the devil sent you, Could you be? Even though you’re At the edge of seventeen? You’re no damn good for me. You say you’re only seventeen Even though you might be lying to me You’re the object of all my dreams. Come take a ride with me down to my city, Down to the city where the bright lights Light up every part of your fresh face. Come have your dinner, hun, It’s on me. Just don’t tell me you’re illegal, babe. Heavenly, baby, less the devil sent you, Could you be? Even though you’re At the edge of seventeen? You’re no damn good for me. How did I let you get the best of me? But if you’re only seventeen, What’s the point of being young and free If you can’t come and can’t get high with me? I guarantee that I am drug and disease free. I just wanna get into your pure body And into your pure body vanilla come. It’s so good. You’re so sweet. In you baby’s where I wanna be Cause you’re so … Heavenly, baby, less the devil sent you, Could you be? Even though you’re At the edge of seventeen? You’re no damn good for me. How did your sweet ass get the best of me? This is where we run into your warm and pretty walls. Push the button down inside your elevator doors. Reach our destination with a rousing game of hide and seek Until there’s you in me. Ok, you’re only seventeen And you’ve got me just where you want me. I’m on my knees and I am begging please Don’t you tease. Take it off and get off on me or I… Oh shit, you’re only seventeen! -Saturn
