Orlando Napier Joins Monarchy Records

Orlando Napier

Orlando Napier has joined the Monarchy Records roster of talented R&B, Rap, Hip-Hop, Soul, and Reggae artists.

International audiences know Orlando Napier from his participation on season two of the hit American NBC television series The Voice. With just a few seconds in to his audition performance, Adam Levine vied to be his coach saying, “So much of being a good singer is timing, and I felt like within the first line of the song, you just had this impeccable, really smooth timing and I was like, ‘Man, he sounds so good at this point, he’s got that thing, and so I need to have him on my team.’”

Orlando split the coaches on his Battle Round of the season with Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green pulling for him. Cee Lo said “Orlando you’ve got that Blue Eyed Soul going on, I love your inflections and you have a lot of attitude, and a lot of cool.”

Orlando began singing and playing piano Piano seven years ago, and simply exudes his love for R&B and Soul in his work. Says Napier, “My style is old school, it’s something from the past, and it’s something that I am trying to morph into the now. It’s based on who I’ve grown up listening to, and that was the work of Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin and Al Green and The Beatles.”

“We look forward to working with Orlando Napier and expect a very bright future together,” says Spectra Music Group CEO Bobby Collins.

Jimmy Star, Director of Operations for Monarchy Records says, “Orlando is so soulful, so solid, and I’m psyched for his new album.”

Orlando Napier’s upcoming album will be released on Monarchy Records in 2013.
