Description

BANKY W.
The year is 1991, and a sold out venue awaits their favorite performance at a National concert in Nigeria, West Africa. The members of the childrens gospel choir have rehearsed their hearts out and are waiting for their cue. Everyone seems ready. The music starts. Suddenly the young soloist loses her nerve and refuses to take the stage. In a state of panic, peers urge an untried youngster to take the microphone. He does so, and rises to the occasion. The crowd rises to a standing ovation, and at the tender age of 10, the world gets its first glimpse of this star. His name is Banky Wellington.
With a name as unique as his talent, Banky was born in the States and raised in Africa. Growing up he was influenced by sounds of gospel from church, the African rhythm he heard on the streets, and the secular sounds of soul. Following in the footsteps of his musical forefathers, this young genius is making music for the ages, drawing on his vast musical influences, penning intimate lyrics, tackling an array of subjects, and all the while taking the listener on a journey that is a testament to his incredible talent, vision and artistry.
Blessed with an incomparably silky smooth voice and a show stopping live performance, Banky has built a solid fan base. As a result of this, he founded Empire Mate$ Entertainment as an avenue to market and promote his music, along with other artists signed to his production company. With the release of his ground breaking EP Undeniable, the legend grew. Without the backing of a major label, on the strength of a no holds barred grassroots marketing campaign, 4000+ people finally got to hear what the hype was all about. He has won the Urban Independent Music Award for R&B Soul Artist of the Year, numerous competitions, had a special on Fox TV, been included on The Cingular Wireless Hip Hop Supastar Tour, been a finalist for 2005 Songwriting Award, and appeared in numerous print media and a plethora of websites and radio stations.
With a growing, larger-than-life presence on the Internet, Banky has managed to connect on a personal level with fans, establishing a cult-like following of thousands of loyal listeners across the globe. Evidence of this is seen on his Myspace page (www.myspace.com/banky) or the official website (www.bankyw.com), where thousands of fans log on everyday to comment on their love for the Artist and his music, purchase CDs, and even merchandise from his independently produced clothing line. A simple Google search for Banky Wellington tells you what you need to know. The future of R&B is here, and he goes by the name of Banky W.
