| Question? What happens
when a vocalist, whose a 4
time Apollo Winner , a writer,
whose a 3 time Russell Simmons'
HBO Def Poet , and a couple
of performers, who just happen to be 2
Grammy Winning Artist team
up to join forces like Voltron? Answer................... .............................. ONE
VERY MAGICAL EXPERIENCE!!!!!
Over
the years J. Ivy (Poet)
and Tarrey Torae (Singer),
two Chicagoan artists, have been very
busy getting their names and their
talents out there. Individually, both J. and Tarrey have
toured the country ripping stages apart.
They have been featured on several
radio stations, whether by interview,
featured performance, or the rotation
of Tarrey's hit single "Still
Will Love You." They have
both recorded, written, and been featured
on albums by Kanye West ,
where J. delivered
a poetic page in history on the song "Never
Let Me Down" with K.
West & Jay-Z , and with John
Legend , where Tarrey cleverly
co-wrote and sang on Oprah
Winfrey's favorite single "Live
It Up." They have recently
taped for the award winning show E.R. They
have made contributions of their work
to The Martha Stewart Show .
They have also managed to accumulate
credits with television work for the NBA,
HBO, MTV, B.E.T., VH1, NBC, CBS, and
ABC , where J. authored
and performed a stellar Prime Time
opening tease for the FedEx
Orange Bowl . They have shared
the stage with the likes of Usher,
Nas, El Debarge, Patti Labelle, Bob
Dylan, Erykah Badu, Kanye West, John
Legend, Miri Ben-Ari, Jill Scott, Common,
The Black Crowes, Roy Ayers, Rock and
Roll Hall of Famer Bo Diddley, The
WallFlowers , and many, many
more.
To put it plain, J. Ivy and Tarrey
Torae have been the recipients
of cheers, handclaps, tears, laughs,
and standing O's from Chicago to
Miami, from New York to L.A., from
Jamaica to Toronto. They have been
shown love no matter where their
gifts have taken the two. Even after
a performance in Paris, France the
French said, after frantically cheering, "I
could not understand all of the words
that you said, but I could FEEL IT!" They
could FEEL IT! And it's that same
feeling, that same energy that the
two have been told about over the
years. It's that same energy that
has been multiplied whenever the
two tag team on stage. It's that
same energy that people have said
they've been healed by when they
sit in the audience. It's that same
energy that has encouraged the two
to become one, has encouraged the
two to become............ J. Torae!
Now, if you're still wondering what
exactly is J. Torae ?
What style of music is J.
Torae ? What category
does J. Torae fall
in? Well, that's easy. It's not just
a combination of Hip-Hop and R & B;
it's a breath of fresh air. It's that
feel good music. It's that music you
clean your house to. It's that music
that you play at the bar-b-que. It's
that music you let ride when you're
in the car on a long road trip. It's
that music that relaxes you after a
hard day at work. It's that music that
eases your mind after a bad argument
with the spouse. It's that make up
music. It's that make a baby music.
It's that make love music. And that
is what J. Torae is
doing...making love to your ears with
a combination of poetry, soul, music
and heaven. That's what J.
Torae is... LOVE .
The same LOVE that
married these two as people, best friends,
and as stage mates.
J. Torae is
a movement of LOVE! So let's
move! |
