A creative integration of music, vocals and poetic ideas. These
Pittsburgh vocalists/rap artists consisting of four lifelong
friends are blending harmonies and hip/hop into a unique mix of
R&B. "Music is an art form," says the group. "We are still
growing and developing...branching out the more we work together.
This album reflects our growth and maturity."
If it is a ballad you want: they can sing it. If it is straight
hip/hop you seek: they can kick it. And if you can't seem to make
up your mind they can integrate it all together to create something
truly unique!
The many styles of Artistree, produced by Soundscape Studio, are
heard in songs like 'You Should Have Been the First' which is a
straight ballad where the group members display singing abilities
that would make any woman weak. For R&B and hip/hop lovers,
"Thoughts Of Celebration" is a jam showcasing their rhyming and
singing styles.
Artistree plans to continue on the journey of having a positive
image in which younger listeners can look up to. They feel they
have a gift and want to share it with other people. Artistree is
focused on their personal musical development, and they are
striving to be a major force in the music industry.
All of the songs on "The Truth" reflect personal episodes they have
encountered. "We write about what we know and experience," says
Artistree. Each group member brings something special to each
