Steelo’s New Album Produced by Hit Maker Fingazz Redefines Fusion of R&B/Hip Hop
Seattle, WA / June 18, 2009 – Seattle-based group Steelo releases debut album “Music” (June 16, 2009, Steelo Entertainment). The independent release is a well rounded composition of R&B rhythms and hip hop influences and is produced by hit-maker Fingazz of Streetlight Music.
Steelo is comprised of rapper A.Uno and singer Bobby K and the group draws its name from the Spanish word estilo, which means style and the urban slang steelo, with the same connotation. The perfect balance of Hip-Hop and R&B, Steelo’s music is a lyrical fashion show of urban-pop styles that boasts vibrant colors and modern cuts.
“We are so proud of this album. It’s so diverse, one track doesn’t sound like the other. We wanted to make sure that each song showed a different style and different side of Steelo,” raves A.Uno.
“‘Music’ has the widest spectrum of sounds and tastes, from slow dramatic songs, to light, upbeat tunes. It’s full of true stories that all people can relate to, which is important to us,” adds Bobby K.
Steelo appeared on the 2009 National Sneaker Pimps Tour, the largest traveling hip hop lifestyle and sneaker exhibition in the world sponsored by Xbox and Verizon Wireless, at Seattle Fashion Week and at a BMI showcase at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, which aired as part of a special on NBC Mun2’s “One Nation Under Hip Hop.”
College radio embraced Steelo’s edgy and contemporary sound as a musical backdrop to study sessions and football games. Steelo’s last single “Make Up My Mind,” a bouncy club anthem with searing R&B vocals and a party feel, was the #2 added record to national College Radio in it’s first week, second only to rap icon NAS. The song reached the #1 spot and remained in the Top 10 for five consecutive weeks – Steelo is quickly becoming a favorite of campus fashionistas.
The music video for “Make Up My Mind” was added to NBC’s Mun2, MTV Tr3s, Eye Music Network, Official Heat Television and Foot Locker’s national closed circuit television.
In stylistic contrast, the group’s first single “Let It Roll” was a smooth, feel good, summer cruising track. It was dubbed “a sure fire summer hit” by Wild 96.1 in Riverside, California and has earned more than 400 national radio spins, including tastemaker-station Power 106 in Los Angeles and the increasingly popular Sirius Satellite Radio.
MC and lyricist A.Uno brings thought provoking rhymes and a smart, smooth delivery to their music. He possesses a slick style and a witty tongue; A.Uno is the one the girls fall for, even though they know better. Bobby K is a singer/songwriter heartthrob – from soulful acoustic ballads to party tracks, his melodies, harmonies and exquisite vocal range come to life through his charismatic performances.
Steelo understands their appeal to younger fans and as such they feel a responsibility to not only make music but to encourage them to follow dreams and live with passion. Steelo steps off the stage and onto the classroom, connecting directly with fans and conducting a student empowerment program. They talk with classrooms about achieving personal and professional goals. The school-based workshop creates a dialogue and builds a lasting relationship with music fans, on a personal level.
Steelo started their career on the Lowrider Car Show circuit opening for artist such as Baby Bash and Lil Rob, and they quickly discovered that their unique sound had a much more mainstream appeal – and that the ladies loved them. “Our fan base is mostly younger girls, they come to our shows to have a good time and vibe out to the music, we take it as a challenge to keep it fresh,” explains Bobby K. More recently Steelo has lent their talents to open for Pitbull, Sean Kingston, Rich Boy and Lloyd Banks.

sailing is definitely a very well-liked pastime yet can often be pretty dangerous.

If you are moving house in the british isles or overseas you?ll need a reputable home removal service who you can rely on. Do not just pick a big firm thinking you?ll get a better service because that?s not always the case. A local removal company will be more concerned about the companies reputation therefore they?ll often give you better value for money. Ask around and see whether any of your friends can suggest a home removal service. The more research you carry out the better!
I don’t agree with everything said here- what about the alternate view? @ author- present the other side as well, that is necessary…and @ last poster- LOL.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
