			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-373" title="tyrell-image" src="http://urbanmodelawards.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/tyrell-image.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="270" /></p>
<p>At 26 years old the soulful smooth crooner, born as Tereance Jackson but better known to the music world as TyRell, is a born native of Jacksonville, Florida. His love of music stems all the way back to his early teen years. TyRell has a wide array of musical influences such as the Temptations, Stylistics, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Dru Hill, Boys II Men, K-Ci and JoJo, Musiq Soulchild, Alicia Keys, Raheem Davaughn, Vivian Green and more.</p>
<p>Following graduation T’Rell found himself in a little trouble with the law, and served time in the Florida prison system. However, that very ordeal resulted in him becoming very focused on his music career. In fact, it was there where he taught himself how to play the acoustic guitar and keyboard that is heard all thorough out his music, which he co-produces. TyRell is also a very talented writer; penning lyrics that make you contemplate your own love life, in addition to wondering just how much this sexy young man has experienced in his own life. “I have some experiences in life that have taught me how to be true to who I am, both personally as well as musically”, states TyRell</p>
<p>TyRell’s music has a feel that many male artists in the industry are missing today. Blessed with golden vocal chords, he has the ability to take music from all generations and fuse them together to create a sound all of his own. He is definitely not the average studio entertainer, the flow of his music ranges from soulful, retro, back-in-the day sound, to a smooth and sexy old school 90’s era, or flow with a contemporary funky, club vibe. “ Words that come to mind when I think of music are smooth and mellow, because that is the exact feeling I get when the music is flowing through me”-states TyRell.</p>
<p>So that he never tires while in pursuit of his passion for music, he lives by the infamous words of Mohammed Ali, “Champions are made from something they have deep inside them- a desire, a dream, a vision”. These ideas will provide him with longevity in a constantly changing industry and will drive him to be in a class of his own.</p>

<p>An association of empowerment, Guyana was born in the mecca of hip-hop also known as New York. She lived in her country Guyana for three years as child, which is the riveting explanation behind her name. Enthralled by her musical passion she decided to walk away from her pursuits to become an attorney against her Mother’s desires. Guyana made a bold move to Florida to pursue her goals of becoming an international artist. She joined a female R&amp;B group, toured Europe, later decided to join a female hip/hop group &amp; finally she made the most powerful decision of her life to become a solo artist. Currently, Guyana is signed to B Major Music Group &amp; fulfilling her desire to become an international star. The epic move comes after joining the all-female groups, working with Trina, Jason Derulo &amp; Fabolous.</p>
<p>Guyana is influenced musically by her daughter, Maxwell, Alicia Keys, B.I.G, Madonna &amp; Michael Jackson</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://urbanmodelawards.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/charles.jpg"><img src="http://urbanmodelawards.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/charles.jpg" alt="" title="charles" width="540" height="600" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-475" /></a></p>
<p>Charles Reed is synonymous with talent, voice, perseverance, faith and a steel<br />
will. His name exemplifies hard work and he arrives just in time to invigorate the<br />
pool of young talent. Charles Reed launches his career as an artist and he<br />
hopes the world is ready for what he has to offer.</p>
<p>Charles Reed was born in Cleveland, Ohio into a family with high moral values<br />
grounded in strong educational principles while possessing diverse artistic<br />
abilities helped shape the responsible young man that we know today. At the<br />
early age of four, Charles began singing, by his mother’s side in the choir at a<br />
local church and by age 5 he took top prize in his schools’ talent show,<br />
performing Michael Jackson’s “BEAT IT.” At age 14, young Charles decided to<br />
seriously pursue his dream to become a professional entertainer. With the solid<br />
support of his family, Charles began to map out the path to success in<br />
entertainment that he wanted to achieve.</p>
<p>Under the tutelage and mentorship of, Grammy Award winning singer “Joe<br />
Little” formerly of ‘The Rude Boys’ with hit single “Written All Over Your Face”.<br />
Charles experienced firsthand, valuable lessons on how to capture an<br />
audience. First lesson learned – “give your all no matter the size of the crowd,<br />
large or small.” As the heat of his passion to become an acclaimed entertainer<br />
continued to kindle, Charles decided to attend Full Sail University in Orlando,<br />
Florida after graduating from high school.</p>
<p>While attending Full Sail University, majoring in Recording Arts, Charles was<br />
introduced to Producer Yung Hollywood. Yung Hollywood recorded a demo on<br />
Charles and presented it to his father Cedric Hollywood &#8211; Former Program<br />
Director of the popular radio station WEDR 99 Jamz (Miami). With the<br />
opportunity to continue his passion to sing, Charles packed up what he had and<br />
left school to move to Miami. “My Parents didn’t agree with the decision I made,<br />
but I said this is what I want to do, they said go for it”, expresses Reed.</p>
<p>The hard work began to pay off when his first record “Fallin’” introduced Reed to<br />
music fans, but it wasn’t until his follow up record “Jook Wit Me” hit radio<br />
airwaves, sparked a buzz in Miami that Charles began reaping the fruits of his<br />
labor. It has become a major part of the Miami Dance Movement called “The<br />
JOOK” because of the fans, “Jook With Me” began reaching radio success<br />
throughout the Southern and Midwest regions. With no specific genre of music<br />
on Charles Reed’s mind, creating music from the heart is his goal. &#8220;I just want to<br />
express myself and live up to my expectations as a man, not even a moon man<br />
could see what I see, creating an impact is my goal&#8221; muses Charles.</p>
<p>Even Jive A&#038;R MEMPHITZ has taken interest, working with Charles and signing<br />
him to his production team. &#8220;I support Charles Reed, he is the future&#8221; adds<br />
Memphitz.</p>
<p>Adding actor to his resume, he has performed in plays at the Ohio theater in<br />
&#8220;Once On This Island&#8221; as (Papa Ge) &#8220;West Side Story&#8221; as (Tony) &#8220;, &#8220;Marvin Gaye<br />
Story&#8221; As (Young Marvin) and also winning several Actors Guild Awards. Charles<br />
has currently landed a major role as DRE in the upcoming film “The Magic City”<br />
written &#038; directed by famed R. Malcolm Jones. “All this is expressing me, the arts<br />
are my playground and I’m like a child” expresses Charles. With a lot more to<br />
conquer and lot more to learn, there is no sign of this man slowing down.</p>
