Canadian
R&B and Soul artist Jeff Hendrick is no stranger to success. Since first hitting
the stage at the age of seven, the accomplished singer/songwriter has emerged
as one of his homelands brightest young music prospects. Deeply rooted in the
R&B and Pop influences of artists like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Prince,
and Michael Jackson, Hendricks smooth vocal offerings often conjure up images
of Philly soul rather than the Canadian prairies. His mature and dynamic stage
presence has captured fans both locally and nationally, and his other talents
as a saxophonist and keyboard player have truly made him a unique musical entity.
Jeff's official debut CD 'Bout Time' was released on November 30th, 2002
and has enjoyed incredible international success with commercial radio play across
Canada, as well as stations in the UK, France, and Germany. Independent sales
have come from as far away as Japan, Hong Kong, The Netherlands, the UK, and Germany.
Jeff’s track ‘Fine-Late Night Hang’ was licensed to UK Soul Label
Café de Soul in 2003 for their fourth compilation album entitled ‘Café
de Soul Volume 4’. The compilation has received rave reviews and strong sales
worldwide. A tour of the UK in September 2003 saw Jeff perform at legendary London
venues like the Jazz Café, 10 Rooms, Café de Paris, and Royal Festival
Hall, as well as Baby Blue in Liverpool.
Jeff recently
released his sophomore album SOUL CELEBRATION on October 18th, 2005 and has just
released the third single from the record entitled ‘I Just Wanna Dance’.
Previous singles ‘Old School Party’ (featuring the lyrical wizardry
of Canadian hip hop icon Spek) and ‘Summertime’ have been enjoying strong
radio play in Canada and abroad.
Jeff Hendrick’s
approach to music is simple. Perform from your heart and soul, be true to who
you are, and capture the audience with passion and sincerity. Both his live and
recorded music reflects these philosophies. Jeff is determined to share his talents
with the world and to help put Canada on the map in the R&B and Pop genres.
This determination will undoubtedly serve him well as works to achieve his musical
dreams.
