Details:
Detroit-Long time Sun Messenger, trumpeter/vocalist William (Big Will) Elijah, releases his debut solo CD "Crowd Pleeza" on his own Detroit-based label 3B Entertainment. The disc is a smooth collection of funk, R&B, and hip-hop. Calling his music "Detroit Urban Soul, "Crowd Pleeza" establishes Big Will as a formable solo artist with immense star power and superb songwriting skills.
As a trumpeter and vocalist for the popular Metro Detroit based band, Sun Messengers, Big Will has proved to be a crowd favorite with his gravity defying performances, blazing trumpet licks and marvelous rap/vocal skills. The 12-track "Crowd Pleeza," was a natural progression from the Sun Messengers, as an outlet to showcase Big Will''s abundant solo talents.
In making "Crowd Pleeza," Big Will drew creative inspiration from the painful losses of his son''s mother, Patricia Elijah, and the passing of his mother Carolyn Elijah, both within a four- month period. Before her death, Big Will promised Patricia "that no matter what happens you must see your dreams through and continue to raise their young son William (Lil Will) Elijah." The disc has been therapeutic for the ever-smiling Elijah during a recent interview was quoted saying. "Broken hearts mend", "that''s what music is here for, to ease our cares, mark our triumphs, celebrate our loves, and also to vent our frustrations with life." Five dollars from every CD sold at Big Will''s shows (with and without the Sun Messengers) will be donated to the American Cancer Society in honor of fallen family members
"Crowd Pleeza" is chock full of stand-out tracks, including the neck popping "Don''t Stop", "Big Daddy Shake," a song that features great local talent in the voice of Kimberly Fairchild. Other highlights include the sexy ballad "Touch you," the funky club bouncing "Teddy Bear," and the motor city anthem "Ride Wit Me" spotlights up and coming hip-hop mavericks, The Mystery Men. Big Will counts Michael Jackson, Luther Vandros, Brian McKnight, Ludacris, Mystical, Missy Elliot, P. Diddy, Prince, and The Neptunes as influences
Utilizing grass roots marketing and new technology, Big Will has set his sites on the global music buying public. His site at https://www.tradebit.com is already heavily trafficked. "I''ve seen great response and from Japan, Italy and the UK with over 20,400 plays of my songs, and numerous CD sales since signing on to this site" Big Will is well on his way to bringing his Detroit Urban Soul to the masses. Big Will also has an online bio site https://www.tradebit.com where you can have his bio with press clippings, photos well as media clips of his songs easily e-mailed anywhere you need him to.
