Ricky Jarman<\/p><\/div>\n

Some people have it all: talent, looks and drive to succeed. Ricky Jarman has all that and more. In addition to being an amazing upcoming star, Ricky is professional, polite and positive. In short, he\u2019s fabulous!<\/p>\n

Ricky recently released a new video Mi Amore<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and album Make It Happen<\/i><\/a>\u00a0that includes the hit single and video Do It<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0Right now, Ricky is in the middle of a big campaign to push Mi Amore<\/em><\/a>. \u00a0He\u2019s prepping for his next music video for the title track Make it Happen<\/em><\/a>. For this next video, Ricky is applying new \u201cartistic pieces\u201d that he\u2019s never done before, so his team is very excited. Ricky is working on a new EP that should release in November-December timeframe.<\/p>\n

Ricky has always had a passion for the arts, especially singing and dancing. He\u2019s taken hip hop dance, gymnastics and voice lessons.<\/p>\n

Before going solo, Ricky was in the boy band United<\/em>, formed at the American Talent Showcase. Christian Dio, a popular Florida DJ and owner of Caliber Records, formed the band. United<\/em> was working on an EP and they were about to get signed by Epic Records, when a couple of the guys left the band.<\/p>\n

Even though United<\/em> disbanded, the experience was a great opportunity for Ricky. While with United<\/em>, he worked with voice coach Andrea Martin, who has helped stars like Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey; Prince\u2019s bass player; Glenn Douglas Packard, one of Britney Spears\u2019 choreographers; and Angel and Aaron Carter in the studio.<\/p>\n

Ricky took a year to regroup and now he\u2019s \u201cready to rock!\u201d He recently won the \u201cCarolina Music Awards\u201d in North Carolina. Plus, he\u2019s moving to New York. Momentum is steadily increasing.<\/p>\n

Ricky is part of a new breed of artists who know no creative boundaries. The music industry continues to evolve, with artists coming from all aspects of life, bringing forth their creativity. Ricky feels he\u2019s one of those artists, because he combines singing, rap, BeatBox and dancing with his music. \u201cThere are no limits, when you apply all these different aspects with music itself. I\u2019m trying to be a positive influence, a positive role model. It doesn\u2019t matter where you come from or what category your music falls in; it\u2019s all about making the music that you love and having the confidence to push through and share it with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social media plays a major role in advancing Ricky Jarman\u2019s career. He taps into Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, Instagram <\/a>and Google+<\/a>.\u00a0Since the internet has grown so much, you can get a lot farther with social media and reach people all over the world. \u201cIt\u2019s a great blessing being able to reach out to people and get new fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ricky posts his music with CD Baby, which distributes it through Spotify, iTunes and Amazon Music. He prefers to share his music over iTunes and Amazon.<\/p>\n

Ricky biggest piece of advice is to \u201cnever, ever give up. There are always people out there who want to hate and don\u2019t support you, people who don\u2019t see eye-to-eye with where you\u2019re trying to go with your music. That should never ever be a roadblock for you, because there will always be people out there who appreciate your music for what it is. It\u2019s all about trying to find those people and tap into your demographics. It would be a shame to limit yourself and put yourself in a box.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well said, Ricky.<\/p>\n
