Curtis Fields

Hello to all of my loyal Stars On The Rise followers! I hope you are having an amazing weekend and are ready to start another productive workweek. Once again I am faced with the task of picking another Artist Of The Week! I truly love each and everyone of the artist that I place on my blog. Each one brings something different and special to the table, but this week’s addition brings something very special and unique to the table. His name is Curtis Fields and he is a true example of how with the right mind set and a true love for the constant changing world of technology you can find your place in music history.

Curtis Fields was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and from a very early age realized he had a love and passion for music. He grew up sing in the church sing gospel music with his fathers traveling ministry. When Curtis started his professional music career when he was able to perform with artist that include John Legend and Eric Roberson. His First single Black Cherry reach number 2 on the Jazz/Funk category on CD Baby's Top 5. Curtis Fields caught his break in the music industry in 2012 when he appeared for the New Skool Rules auditions in Atlanta, Georgia. His audition caught the eye of Ray Daniels from Raydar Management who told Fields that he would have him signed within two months. This opportunity opened Curtis up to amazing chance; within five week of his audition he had offers from five different record major record labels. On June 30, 2013 Curtis was able to perform his song Opposites Attract at the 2013 BET Awards.  His performance included him strumming a guitar on an iPhone 5 and was called one of the 9 Most Memorable Moments of the awards by Yahoo! Music.

What I love about Curtis Fields is that he is an incredible singing, songwriter and musician. But the thing that completely had me stunned was his ability to take a piece of technology like the iPhone 5 and use it as a tool to create and play amazing music. I feel that this is what will help set him apart from so many other music artist and take him very far in the music industry. So take a listen and tell me what you think.
