|  An
Atlanta native, Rahbi started singing at the age of three. By his
14th birthday he inked his first record deal with Laface Records
as one fourth of the R&B group 4th avenue. Although the group
made many appearances and even shot a music video, an album was
never released. With aspirations of becoming a success and now with
the experience of being a signed artist, Rahbi began the rigorous
road to solo stardom. While making his mark on the competitive Atlanta
music scene, Rahbi joined The Freddie Hendricks Youth Ensemble of
Atlanta, where he was discovered by former Motown recording artist
Donnie. While touring both locally and internationally as a background
singer for Donnie, Rahbi became a show favorite sharing the stage
with some of R&B,Soul, and Gospel music’s finest, from
India.Arie, Anthony Hamilton, Smokie Norful, Shirley Ceasar, Bobby
McFerrin, and Laurnea, to Charlie Wilson, Keith Sweat, Kut Klose,
Silk, Kindred the Family Soul, and Trina Broussard. Rahbi was even
summoned by Ms. Lauryn Hill to participate in a private jam session
held in New York.With his ability to perfectly blend R&B, Hip-Hop,
Gospel, Jazz and Soul,  Rahbi
is often recognized as the Prince of Hip-Hop /Soul. As a singer,
vocal arranger, and songwriter Rahbi constantly redefines himself
and his music by looking to his musical influences to create a sound
that is incomparable and distinctive. Always willing to take risks
and speak on things no other artist would, Rahbi not only makes
music for the soul, but music that endures. With all that he’s
learned and accomplished, Rahbi is ready to take on the music world
with his first studio recording simply entitled Rahbi the EP. Described
as a flawless blend of soul perfection complete with hip-hop grooves
and melodic melodies, there’s something for almost every musical
taste and mood, whether you want smooth jazz on a Sunday evening
or something to get you crunk for a night of clubbing till 3am,
Rahbi the EP is undeniably a work of art. When asked to describe
the album, Rahbi says that he’s bringing back the passion
to R&B and Soul music, something that has been missing for a
while. Refusing to be placed in a particular genre, Rahbi says he’s
influenced by everything from R&B, Hip-Hop, Gospel, Jazz and
Rock, to movies and television commercials. With a stunning collection
of timeless music from the heart and soul of a gifted artist, Rahbi
the EP dropped March 7th On Yes Sir Productions.
