R'Mone biography:

Born in 1986 in Martinsville, Virginia, R’mone Entonio began singing at the age of 5 alongside his father in an all-male gospel quartet group. This is the foundation where R’mone’s passion & love for music developed & would continue to evolve. Constantly being influenced by the records & cassette tapes played by his parents, the radio, etc., R’mone musical influences range from Lalah Hathaway, Eric Benet and D’Angelo to Stevie Wonder, The Gap Band & The Beatles. After high school, R’mone went on to study music at Virginia State University for 2 years, where his increased upon his craft by majoring in vocal concentration. There, he absorbed the classical foundation & vocal technics that would in the near future take him far. After relocating to North Carolina post-college, R’mone has went on to accompany some very influential artist of North Carolina region such as World Renowed Poet Josephus Thompson, International Performing Artist Vanessa Ferguson, World Renowned Singer/Performer Sybil & National Performing Arist Tanya Ross, just to name a few. All of these experiences have helped R’mone to step in his own artistry & brand, the R’mone Entonio Brand. Footage of R’mone’s cover work of songs performed live can be found on YouTube. As this young artist continues to emerge, stay tuned for R’mone’s original material, which will be available in the fall of 2015.
