Birth of a Neo-Soul Prince

In 2008/09, listners heard the continued evolution of neo-soul artist, Carmichael, with the release of his second album, “Angel in the Sky,” a collection of smooth tunes that showcased his growing creativity in the making.

This Spring 2010, Carmichael released his double album, “Fantasy” & “Rain,” a collection of neo-soul tunes fused with R&B, jazz and reggae. The wide range of his music showshis dedicated fans just how much his artistry has grown and developed from the previous months.

Both albums have an array of eclectic tunes, such as “Always Come Back,” "That’s My Song” and “More than Wonderful” on the "Fantasy” album. The "Rain" disc is more sultry with sensual tunes including “What If,” “Pole in the Bedroom”, (reminiscent of R Kelly) “Eternally” (featuring Nadine Charles), Zion (indicative of John Legend) and the title track, “Rain.”

Carmichael's music has been compared to his contemporaries such as Dwelle, Darius and Eric Roberson to name a few.

May 2010 truly be a year for him that continues to show his full potential.

From Bang Radio:

Singer, songwriter and producer Carmichael discovered his passion for music at a very young age and he owes his love of real music to his Dad who would wake him up every morning to th likes of Al Green, Marvin Gay and Stevie Wonder.

Raised in Birmingham Alabama and whilst still at school Carmichael took a chance and sent his demo to super producer Manual Seal of So So Def Records and was immediately signed to Seal’s newly formed record label. So Carmichael left school behind during his junior year and moved to Atlanta to pursue his dream.

Later Carmichael and Seal would part ways amicably and Carmichael continued to develop and grow as an artist. He soon learned if he wanted to be truly happy and successful as an artist he needed to start getting more involved in the writing and production of his own music. As a result Carmichael has released three full-length albums independently.

He has worked with Grammy Award winners Tony Rich, Joe Rich and Peter Moore in various aspects. In 2004 he sang background on Tony Rich’s Live DVD recording. During his early years in Atlanta he worked with an unknown Pink while she was a member of the girl group Choice writing songs and providing musical direction . . .
