I AM R&B
 
Determined to be the New King of R&B, Singer Rey Royale Makes His Ascent to the Throne
 
In a time when R&B music is more sex than soul, more swag than sincerity, there are few artists who can create the perfect marriage of sound and substance. But Rey Royale can and does. Call him the musical matchmaker.
 
The singer/songwriter has been practicing and perfecting his bona fide brand of rhythm and blues for the last fifteen years, fully focused on bringing emotion, talent, and timeless music back to R&B by pairing sultry vocals and heartfelt lyrics with soulful old school stylings and steamy new school sensuality. With the impending release of his debut album journey to ecstasy Royale is coming for the crown, intent on taking his rightful place as the new king of R&B. And if his distinctive voice, unwavering dedication, and music industry experience are any indication, his ascent to the throne is evident and imminent.
 
Before becoming Rey Royale, a young Reynaldo Gilmore would listen to the 45s spinning on his grandmother’s record player — music by R&B icons like Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, David Ruffin, and Michael Jackson — and become inspired to bring his heart and soul to the stage through song. Throughout middle school, he strengthened his vocal capabilities and enhanced his performance skills by participating in local talent shows in and around his hometown of Boston, MA. At the same time, he watched and listened as a new breed of R&B artists began injecting the genre with an edgier, more hip-hop-oriented sound. Boyz II Men, Dru Hill, H-Town, and Jodeci would prove influential in Gilmore’s growth as a singer, and the impact those groups had on his burdgeoning music career became even more apparent when he teamed up with a childhood friend to form the group 617 while in high school. A few years later, the duo morphed into a quartet and quickly gained respect and renown for its impressive harmonizing and cool, contemporary sound.
 
After opening for The Temptations, Donell Jones, Boyz II Men, and many more, A&M Records president Ron Fair recognized 617 as a diamond in the rough and signed the group to a record deal. Along with the new deal came a new name — Metro City, a moniker that more fully embodied the group’s urban appeal. An artist development deal with 55 Entertainment, a production company headed by NFL linebacker Willie McGinest and business partner Bob Francis, helped the group smooth out its rough edges, and in a matter of a few short years, they began to get some serious shine.
 
After befriending fellow R&B upstart Keyshia Cole, Metro City was featured on the song “Superstar” from Cole’s platinum-selling debut album The Way It Is. The group also served as the opening act for Cole’s 2006 “Love Tour,” performing in more than 30 cities and introducing R&B fans across the country to their unique sound and style. In preparation for the release of their debut, they wrote and recorded alongside some of the music industry’s most accomplished artists, including Kanye West, Keri Hilson, Polow da Don, The-Dream, Sean Garrett, Chink Santana, RL (from R&B group Next), and Shawn Stockman (Boyz II Men). Though Gilmore and Metro City would part ways in early ’08, the seven-odd years he spent molding his talent and honing his craft readied him to step into the spotlight to get some shine of his own.
 
With the self-assurance and awareness that comes from personal and professional maturity, Royale is making the most of his seasoned voice, powerful prowess for stage performance, and stronger songwriting skills. On songs like the seductive “SEX DRIVE,” “IN MY BED ,” and lusty club hit “SCREENSHOTS,” his robust tenor resonates with raw emotion, channeling his feelings into music that speaks to and for his fans, especially the fellas: “I’m the voice for men who don’t know how to tell their woman their true feelings,” he declares.

Mike lockley known as " Mikeanthonii" born and raised in the inner City of Boston MA, He has sprung into an individual artist who fights to perfect his artistic craft. Starting at the age of 5 singing and dancing to the latest Michael Jackson, "Mikeanthonii" grew to love music. He brings a soulful sound but at the same time an upbeat flavor to the music game. Starting  in a Group created by himself and neighborhood friends "NEXT STEP", mikeanthonii was able to get the experience in the studio he needed. In the summer of 2006 as a boyhood group which consisted of Michael, Raymond, Taji, Justin, Marques, Jay and Shawn. These seven young men were the incendiary for the musical dreams of the present duo 'NEXT STEP". NEXTSTEP in the early years practiced and perfected their vocals in the laundry mat of Maple St of  the Grove Hall Community. They recorded their first record "Damn" at Studio 450 located right in their neighborhood, so recording became apart of their regular routine. Following the song "Damn" NEXTSTEP moved their recordings to "The Baker House', a community center for teenagers. This is where they recorded songs such as "Dream Girl", "Haters" "Mad', "I'm gone", "Where do we go" and "Cant handle it'. They also appeared on a live interview at "106.1 fm Radio". These seven men tried to keep hope alive but all walls fell down and the group diminished slowly and the group fell to five members. As time went on so did the lives of each individual,their personal attributes, education and just the life of being young male began to take its course. Everyone parted there ways and all that was left was the name "NEXTSTEP", and no one to hold the torch. Later on "Mikeanthonii" Made his own Group formally known as "AVENUE" who were managed By " TERRY WALKER" who works with "Michael Bivins" of New Edition.The group was destined to make it but personalities clashed and all hard work went down the drain. So michael formed his own entertainment company with one of his former his singing parters Raymon Jamez. The company is Know as BREAKIN NEWZ ENT. and is now producing hot music which will be hitting the airwaves.
It probably seemed like the end of the road, but "Mikeanthonii" and hid business parter 'Raymon Jamez" recorded separately but held that bond and recorded on numerous occasions. Years past, they both went through the motions of being in different groups and being solo artist. But they eventually came to a conclusion that musically they were the perfect match. In 2010 until 2011 Mikeanthonii took on a Project which consisted in a collaboration between Raymon Jamez and himself which Made the New Era of " Next Step".The collaboration of the two strong and unique voices, Michael Anthony lockley known as "mikeanthonii' and Raymond Mayo  known as "Raymon Jamez' made up the Musical duo group "NEXTSTEP". They've been putting their musical minds together since the summer of 2006 to produce a sound that can't be duplicated nor imitated. 

Mikeanthonii is now focused on perfecting his craft and touching the mature audience, especially the women, which is where he gets most of his motivation to make great music. Mikeanthonii feeds off of his number one rule which is "success waits for no one, you have to go get it"; He creates his own music and is a business man as well. Mikeanthonii has worked with artist such as Fly Boi Dizzy, Ayo Hollywood, Super Group 24/ 7 and plans on  working with more artist throughout his career. He hopes to bring what the industry needs and to capture the ears of the people. Mikeanthonii  will not stop until he reaches the top.
