div style=”text-align: justify;”Hi guys, how are you doing? It’s been a minute it feels like. If you are like me, you are still on a valentine’s day high. Ok, just showing off a little, but what I mean is that I’m still very much on a love high and this next artist keeps this feeling going for me every time I listen to his songs./divdiv style=”text-align: justify;”br /Maryland-bred singer/songwritera href=”http://aaroncampermusic.com/” Aaron Camper/a is not entirely new to the game, having lent his talents as a writer to artists like TYE Tribett amp; G.A, Marvin Sapp, The Clark Sisters, Stevie Wonder, Eric Roberson, J.Cole and going on tour with Jill Scott as part of her acclaimed All-Male background vocalists known as ‘The Pipes’. His transitioning to a solo artist is therefore verynbsp;natural and well timed if you ask me. The music scene seems to me to be lacking in the Ramp;B scene, the days ofnbsp;Joe, Tyrese, Ginuwine,nbsp;Luthernbsp;Vandross, Teddy Pendergrass are so long gone, so long gone and i miss it so. But then Aaron Camper comes along and I’m glad for the future of Ramp;B./divdiv style=”text-align: justify;”br //divdiv class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NpUWwUldI9A/TWAPIZ8wRtI/AAAAAAAAAKM/Bc8apRp906I/s1600/Aaron-Camper-Music.jpg” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”img border=”0″ height=”241″ src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NpUWwUldI9A/TWAPIZ8wRtI/AAAAAAAAAKM/Bc8apRp906I/s400/Aaron-Camper-Music.jpg” width=”400″ //a/divdiv class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: justify;”br //divdiv class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: justify;”The ‘Welcome To My World’ mixtape is a href=”http://twitter.com/#!/aaroncamper”Camper’s/anbsp;first offering to the world, a fusion of Ramp;B and a little bit of Hip-Hop and Pop music featuring well known artists like Kanye West, Swiss Beatz, Brandy and Eric Roberson. He has a fresh, melodic, very soothing voice that I love. The production on this mixtape was very on point and Adam Blackstone who has worked with the “who is who” of the music industry deserves a very special mention for his work as executive producer on this.

What I love isnbsp;thatnbsp;a href=”http://www.youtube.com/user/AARONCamperMusic”Aaron/a holds his own by her side, showing just how vocally talented he is.

I think Camper’s cover of nbsp;Boyz II Men’s classic ‘Water Runs Dry’ deserves a special mention because although I believe the original is still better, Aaron’s take on it is fresh and ‘now’ and for the younger kids who may have never heard of Boyz II Men, it would definitely be a hit.

Hey guys-br /br /Thanks for sharing Aaron Camper. I#39;d never heard him before, but I just played through his songs and they are wonderful! His singing voice reminds me of a bit of Craig David actually. Really calming.br /br /Keep up the good work Aaron, and WPGM in general!
