ImSoMaleek – Strain

Written by | Featured, New Music, Staff's Picks

Much like modern rap icon, Drake , who featured in teen drama television series, Degrassi: The Next Generation , the multi-talented ImSoMaleek , who has made a name for himself appearing in big time productions such as Me, Myself and Irene , Preaching to the Choir and the Broadway version of The Lion King (Baby Simba) , is breaking into the highly contested world of music with his alternative brand of R&B on the back of his mentorship with Wyclef Jean .

Wanting to avoid the often typical artist image of just being ‘a voice on a record’, the Bronx born and raised crooner carries himself as a top-class vocal producer as well as an iconic ‘sex symbol’ , much like legendary artist, Prince.

However, ImSoMaleek is no stranger to the music scene. During his adolescence, he was mentored and signed to Wyclef Jean as lead singer of 3on3 , with his two older brothers, providing him with the perfect platform to re-launch his career in the music business. It’s not often that an artist is taken under the wing of such a legendary figure in music, like Wyclef Jean, and Maleek has learnt a lot from his high-profile mentor, readying him to step out onto the world stage.

While ImSoMaleek falls under the umbrella category of R&B, the talented musician likes to employ a wide range of production styles , touching on his roots in classical training, along with hints of pop, rock, jazz and a distinctive soulful vibe .

With his colorful past in the entertainment business, as well as inspirations including Usher, Frank Ocean and Justin Timberlake , ImSoMaleek is set to be the next big thing in the world of R&B, with 2018 marking a pivotal moment in his career as he looks to take to the road with his band.

“Strain” is STREAMING NOW as part of the “October Nights EP”
