About Hot Newcomer to R&B – Esty
Perhaps you heard Esty made some noise with his first album “Optimistic”, garnering Myspace hits from all over the world, so much so, that even Japanese owned Village Again stepped up and signed him to a distribution deal throughout Japan — Placing him number 10 on the charts with the likes of the Dream, Wyclef, Alicia Keys, and Beyonce!
Maybe you even heard that Esty was Radio Indie.Com’s Gold Artist, or that his debut video, “Take Your Love Away”, filmed in his hometown, upstate New York, was the highest viewed video for a new artist within a two-week time period with over 50, 000 views on You Tube! And, that His “So Sexy Girl” was the lead in song, for Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Ghost Whisperer Ad for JCPenny — in addition to it being a jingle that kids still sing today, of course, in the words of the enduring Michael Jackson, “they have to be able to hum it” and you know you have a hit.
And, you might have even seen Esty perform his electric single “Tease” on 106 and Park’s WOW and saw him receive 1st prize for “Blaze the Stage”, or may have had an opportunity to see him perform live, sharing the stage with such artists as Stephanie Mills, The Whispers, Freddie Jackson, SWV, SOS Band, and EnVogue to name a few and witnessed the audiences singing along with him on “Crush”… Crush, I think I got a crush on you — which remains a highly requested song at performances and personal appearances and Esty fans still await the video!
But, what you may not know, is that after a 2 year hiatus, out of the spotlight, Estabon Bennermon, B.K.A. Esty returns to his fans, with a new look, a new sound and a smash single on his hands! Esty’s new release, “Back n Forth”, makes you wanna go back and forth! Already a hot property in the hands of Radio DJ’s across the country, awaiting the word go to spin the record on late night shows any day now. Back N Forth: It’s Sexy, It’s Sultry, and Yet, It is as Smooth as Silk — in typical Esty Fashion! The new single is set for digital release Fall2009!
Esty, is still recording, spending much of his time in the studio between Philly, and The ATL. He signed a production deal with Escro Entertainment, who will be the major producers for his new release and album. He says “I want to make my sophomore album something that fans will recognize as my signature style, yet mature and sensuous, I’m a little more grownup, but always certainly sexy.”
Esty spent the summer doing his humanitarian best to encourage, enlighten and inspire those he comes in contact with, particularly lecturing at the USHER New Look Camp for kids, and using his vocal talents at benefit concerts for the American Cancer Society. Esty is the national spokesperson for The Divabetic Organization in Manhattan, New York: inspired by Luther Vandross and implemented by his assistant, Max Szadek. Divabeticis an organization that creates awareness about diabetes. He also appeared in support of Healthnet, Inc. in the upstate, Hudson Valley, to promote health awareness in the community.
Esty will begin a college tour starting spring 2010, with sneak appearances at select colleges this fall to promote his new album!
