the notoriously competitive music industry. In preparation for his debut album, "I Am Trevante,"
which is slated for a 2011 release, Trevante has had the opportunity to collaborate with some of
the industry's elite producers and writers: Chris Brown, Rodney "Darkchild"
Jerkins,
Diane Warren, Rico

able to secure a publishing contract with Warner Chappell Publishing and is very active in the
creative process of recording his album. "This album is special because it's my introduction to
the world. It shows my R&B side, my Pop side and just overall good music. It's about love and
purity," Trevante says of his debut. In an age when most artists are developed online, Trevante
is taking the road less traveled by setting his musical foundation on stage and in the studio, a
foundation that will undoubtedly make this extraordinarily talented young man a force to be

"boy next door" demeanor and vocal styling that will inevitably draw comparisons to a Jackson 5
Michael Jackson, Jawan's tone cuts through the clutter and rings clear as school bells forcing
you to sit up and pay attention. Jawan's first single "Nobody" is a soulful upbeat, vibrant track
nostalgic of a school day crush. "Another Planet" featuring Chris Brown has a bit of an edge
mixed with a little swagger, showcasing Jawan's versatility. With his voice and his personality
to match, Jawan already possesses solidified star power. Easily winning over the hearts of
parents and teenage girls alike, possessing the elusive "it" factor. Jawan is currently working on
his debut album.
