Check Out New Singer Jose Hendrix….

Could Pop Singer Jose Hendrix be the Next “International” Michael Jackson?


A collaboration CD created between
an American songwriter, Kelly Myers and a Congolese pop singer-producer
has gained the interest of a Grammy award winning engineer. Listeners
have drawn comparisons of Jose’s sweet tenor vocals and energetic style
to that of Michael Jackson.


Los Angeles, CA, March 21, 2011 –(PR.com)–
The anticipated, soon to be released CD, called Embrace the Earth was
borne from a virtual music connection between an American songwriter,
Kelly Myers and African pop singer, Jose Hendrix, less than one year
ago.

Jose’s progressive musical abilities allow the creation of
songs with Latin guitars and African Rumba for a blended mix of cool
grooves and rhythmic vocals highlighted on the North American debut CD,
Embrace the Earth. The work is a culmination of creativity and a
determination to craft a musical relationship from across the world,
virtually. “Jose and I decided to make a human connection and we were
both dedicated to the best outcome for the music. We’ve worked very hard
for this. Using the Internet, we both got to do what we loved: make
music. Nothing contrived,” Kelly Myers said. “The widespread interest
and acceptance of our work has really surprised me.” To continue, please click “MORE”!
