The sun was shining bright on Saturday, August 5 at Raleigh's Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts. But, the stars came out early before the darkness covered the night during the Red carpet celebration at the 10th Annual Carolina Music Awards, which was hosted by Omar McCallop.
One of the brightest stars to shine the brightest, however, was the brilliantly beautiful Imani Pressley, who won the CMAs (2017) Best Female R&B Singer of the Year Award.
"I have been making music since I was nine.." said the sultry singer, who has an audio engineering degree from Greensboro Technical Community College.
"(But) my style has developed into like an urban pop-with a little 'FONK'-with electric
overtones, which came from my influence of Prince and Dr.Dre.
While attempting to describe her style & musical genius with words, which includes a smorgasbord of sounds, Pressley, truthfully, could be standing on the tipping-toes of success. Especially, with the release of her highly anticipated album entitled POV.
Because, from my point of view, after watching her live performance of the song "All Night Long" on YouTube, I'm convinced that this multi-instrumentalist and producer is truly blessed with a gift rarely seen in this area.
Why? Because, when asked how does she manage to harness so-much talent in one beautiful body-she just humbly smiled without expressing any sign of arrogance-and simply said... "I really got to give it to God. It's a God-given gift."
With that said, please support this talented young lady by going to www.ImaniPressley.com and witness the greatness God has placed in her heart and soul.
