Emerging R&B singer, Porcelan, has a voice that forces you to stop and listen. Fusing soul and classic R&B, it’s no wonder why the Memphis born songstress is on everyone’s ones to watch list. She is one of the first artists to sign at the new record label Made In Memphis Entertainment, founded by David Porter. He likens her to the best in the business:
-“Whitney Houston had that; Luther Vandross had that; Otis Redding had that; Gladys Knight had that.”
“Whitney Houston had that; Luther Vandross had that; Otis Redding had that; Gladys Knight had that.”
It’s safe to say that Porcelan has THAT!
David Porter has worked with icons like Sam & Dave, Aretha Franklin, Drake, Celine Dion, and Eminem so his opinion holds weight for an up-and-coming singer like Porcelan.
Porcelan ‘s uncompromising ambition to win has put her in a great position with her music thus far:
-“[I was] Working constantly, 11-12-hour shifts, just to get the money I needed to back my music. I never wanted to depend on anyone to achieve what I wanted in this lifetime, I just wanted to do exactly what was in my heart-and that was music”
“[I was] Working constantly, 11-12-hour shifts, just to get the money I needed to back my music. I never wanted to depend on anyone to achieve what I wanted in this lifetime, I just wanted to do exactly what was in my heart-and that was music”
Her determination is paying off as David Porter and MIME Vice President Hamilton Hardin are set to produce her entire album.
With a melodic voice that is reminiscent of classic R&B , it’s no wonder that greats like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder & Whitney Houston top her list of musical influences.
Her live performance on Great Day Washington is proof of her raw talent. Her voice is just as strong as the recorded version and her stage presence oozes the charisma of a well-established artist.
Porcelan’s video for “Lois Lane” is another example of her Memphis soul influence. Her voice transcends the heart and delves deep into her soul. It’s no surprise that Porter has compared her to some of the greatest in the business. She has the talent of being able to sing from a feeling rather than a note while still keeping a sultry voice and performance. This Memphis style of music gives her a unique and nostalgic flare that never goes out of style. For someone who is just emerging to prominence in the states, Porcelan can be a household name in no time.
