RIGHT ON! OFFICIAL ARTIST: BERTELL IS GOIN HARD

Capitol Records’ new R&B artist BERTELL  has a new video out for his second single, “Beat It Up” off of his upcoming album titled Goin’ Hard.  Bertell is a multi-talented Houston native.  At first basketball was his passion. He had dreams of being in  the NBA and was winning high school championships and scoring  basketball scholarships to a few colleges .  Surprisingly while in college his gift of singing was discovered.  Bertell  didn’t really consider a career in music until one of his friends told him this: ” You have a real gift from God . If you don’t make it to the NBA  you should definitely try to make it as a singer.”  His friend’s encouraging words stuck with him and the rest was history.

‘Bertell is not only a gifted singer, he writes  and  is a self-taught piano player. He has opened for popular artist such as R. KELLY, BOBBY VALENTINO, TREY SONGZ, SCARFACE and BUN B of UGK. For his  debut album,  Bertell collaborated with one of the best producers in the industry BRYAN-MICHAEL COX to create his entire project. Keep your eyes and ears open for Goin’ Hard , set for release on May 4th.
