Genre: R&B/Soul

Show: 9:00PM

Anthony David is half bluesman, half soul singer, but he was actually raised on hip-hop. His hit single "Words" features India Arie and was just nominated for a Grammy.

After serving with the 82nd Airborne, the Desert Storm veteran picked up the guitar for the first time at age twenty-one, when he landed in Atlanta following his Army stint. At the same time, he met India.Arie, who has become a friend and a musical cohort. After her Acoustic Soul album -- which includes "A Part of My Life," written by David -- went double platinum and garnered seven Grammy nominations, he followed her on tour, released two independent albums of his own, and then became the first artist signed to Arie's new label, Soulbird (under Universal Republic). Acey Duecy, his first album for that label. Why the name Acey Duecy? It's a compilation of his two independent works, represents two different sides of the same artist.

Joseph Konty-There are several inspirations that peer through Joseph Konty's music. For example, the inspiration of Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Boyz II Men, and Motown. Their melodic and powerful words or music are true and captured his soul, early on. "I know that I do not sound like these artist, but they do something inside every time I hear them. You will always hear these artists being played when you are around me,". Joseph's sound has been compared to Maxwell and John Legend, while maintaining a sound all his own.
