MESSIN' WITH TEXAS

posted in: Artist Features

The road to stardom can be bumpy at times. There can be financial difficulties, relationship strains ¦ or a run-in with the law in Fort Worth, Texas that leaves you tased and incarcerated.

So goes the story of Kashan, an ambitious R&B balladeer from Tennessee. Despite these inauspicious beginnings, Kashan survived the tasing and made it out of Texas with his dreams intact. Now safely nestled in Brooklyn, the singer is putting his nose to the grindstone to begin work on his debut CD”with the help of his musical cohorts, the SimplySoul Band. Here’s what you can look forward too: stripped-down love songs, mellow R&B grooves, funky guitar lines lapping at syncopated drum beats, chimes, finger snaps and Kashan’s capable croon. Expect big things from this determined artist ¦ but maybe not a show in Texas any time soon.
