She is sure to deliver a lyrical experience to which every audience can relate with her prolific art of storytelling.

Press/Reviews:

DJ Cotton El Murkot (WCOM 103.5FM Chapel Hill/Carrboro) – “This girl has got something special.”

“Voices” – Johnny’s Daughter – “Wow, Johnny’s Daughter has a really beautiful voice, she sounds a little bit like Mary J. Blige IMO. The lyrics throughout the verses she sang were very powerful and the chorus was fantastic. The production on this track is classic… This is another very good song.” – hiphoputopia.com

“Pride” – Johnny’s Daughter – “Again, Johnny’s Daughter did an excellent job with the singing on this track, I don’t know if it’s as good as the other track but it still very good. The production is kind of minimal on this track but it works well because it helps you to focus on the vocals more while keeping up the tempo, I like this.” – hiphoputopia.com

“Let It Go” (Remix) ft. Johnny’s Daughter, Keynote Speaker & Effrain Colon – “Yeh, this song has a really good feeling to it….and of course Johnny’s Daughter created an incredible chorus. I was feeling the beat too, that guitar at the end was crazy but I liked it.” – hiphoputopia.com

Talk with Mr. Coley!

Mr. Coley was born in Washington, DC but moved to Durham, NC at a young age.  Mr. Coley received his inspiration and talent from his mother, a God fearing woman who believed in praying and going to church – so began THE SOUL AND THE MUSIC!!! Singing around the house and playing drums in the church was his first connection, and then he began singing in various choirs. In high school, Mr. Coley was active in the gospel choir, and PERFORMED in stage plays like “DREAM GIRLS,” where he played Curtis Taylor Jr. Among other talents, Mr. Coley marched in the band and played SNARE on Hillside High School’s drumline, “Blue Steel,” making a cameo in the movie “THE INK WELL” starring Larenz Tate. Since then, Mr. Coley has performed in various night clubs all over North Carolina, but his “Big Break” came in 2006 when he performed on the nationally syndicated “Tom Joyner Morning Show,” live on FOXY 107/104 FM in Raleigh, NC. In 2007, Mr. Coley went on to perform at “THE WORLD FAMOUS APOLLO THEATER” in New York. He first performed his original song entitled “YO MRS.” at AMATEUR NIGHT, a non-televised show, securing his spot on the nationally televised show, “SHOWTIME @ THE APOLLO.” His rendition of “LATELY” (by Stevie Wonder, as performed by KC and Jo Jo) allowed him to advance in the competition as the returning winner for the next show – an “Apollo Legend” in the making! Mr. Coley has sung at UNIVERSAL RECORD LABEL and has written lyrics and recorded at “RUFF RYDERS RECORD LABEL”  as well, Mr Coley has also worked with MAJOR RAP LEGEND ”BIG DADDY KANE”, and “9TH WONDER”, PRODUCER from the rap group, ”LITTLE BROTHER”, since then Mr Coley has performed at the “CHARLOTTE MUSIC AWARDS” in Durham and Charlotte, NC, but his latest accomplishment was singing the “NATIONAL ANTHEM” at the 2008 MEAC basketball tournament held in Raleigh, NC at the RBC CENTER and the 2009 CIAA tournament in Charlotte NC ! So its safe to say that Mr. Coley has achieved “GREATNESS” in so many ways, Mr Coley has started his own publishing company called “TIMELESS SOUL” “Where Good Music Transends Generations”. This Singer, Songwriter, Producer” is a quadruple threat! Unlike any other artist, Mr. Coley has produced, written and arranged his own album entitled “FOREVER-MUSIC,” which makes him “THE MASTER MIND BEHIND THE MUSIC.” It’s been said, that even being unsigned, Mr. Coley is a “FRANCHISE” all by himself….”THE FUTURE OF REAL MUSIC.”

This R&B and Inspirational Singer is what embodies a “TIMELESS SOUL.”

These men can sang! Whew! Let me tell ya’ll something. I’ve seen it live and in color and A CAPELLA~! You know that is the true test that we  use to see if someone can sing. IF they can sang with or without music. Trust me they can! Read more about Soul Mello below:

Welcome to a world where music is an infectious epidemic flowing freely via three minds, two bodies and one soul, a world where soulful melodic tones, lush vocal styling’s and lyrics are a breath of fresh air to the hearts and spirits of those who listen. This is the world of Soul Mello. Influenced by the likes of Brian McKnight, Boyz II men, Jamie Foxx, Jodeci, Jon b, Tony Vega and a list of legends including Carlos Santana, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke and Teddy Pendergrass, Soul Mello places a fingerprint on your heart and mind while taking you back to the music that the over 30 crowd grew up on, and that which young lovers can embrace. It’s no accident that with one listen to this duo you become totally enveloped by the music bleeding through your stereo monitors. These gentlemen take you to a place you haven’t been before while giving you that old familiar feeling along the way.

This is more than just the collective vision of two men who love music; it is the destiny of two souls, predetermined by God. There is no other explanation of how two men from different geographical locations and backgrounds cross paths and become what is Soul Mello. Soul Mello was founded by Lee Blake in 1997 and restructured when Blake met Rediscka Pinkney on a summer night in 2002 while serving in the United States army at fort Bragg, North Carolina. “It was meant to be. My best friend, Rediscka’s cousin introduced us” Blake says.

Both men having backgrounds in school and church music programs and each with aspirations of being solo artists took a listen to each other in that first meeting and decided at that moment that with each of them bringing their talents and unique styles together that they had something so special even they couldn’t understand it; both grounded in faith attribute it to divine intervention. “God has his plan for everyone; this had to be his plan for us” Pinkney states.

Over the next seven years, amidst deployments, field problems and late night parachuting operations, the fellas would hone their craft performing when and wherever they were able to do so.  Between the months of October 2006 and January 2007 after a collective 19 years of service, each man would make the life changing decision to end his Army career and pursue music full time. In February 2007, Soul Mello the r&b duo grew into Soul Mello entertainment. “Redd’s been involved in music since the age of 4; I started my thing at 7 and with nearly 50 years of collective total music experience it was inevitable” Blake says. Being vocalists, songwriters, and producers it only made sense that Soul Mello would evolve. Soul Mello simply put IS entertainment. Ladies and gentlemen we recommend you proceed with caution as you lose all control of your senses in the captivating sounds of Soul Mello. Tune in to PGL Radio to hear more on  Soul Mello!
