Heston possesses a rare, "instant classic" voice, colored with confident sensuality, and informed by mellow 70's soul. Nostalgic, yet very much his own style, Heston's music is beautiful, lyrically refreshing, vocally and melodically unique, timeless, rich and soulful. His 2008 independent debut album, Storyteller, was critically acclaimed internationally and possessed an exceptionally well-composed body of original songs written and produced by Heston. Storyteller was supported with a series of sold-out shows with unforgettable performances in the U.S. and Europe, and sold ~30K units.
Prior to Storyteller, Heston released a self-titled EP in 2003, from which "If" was licensed for use as the theme song for BET's Real Life Divas and ranked as one of iTunes most downloaded independent tracks. Heston has a unique gift for fluid and meaningful songwriting, and has a beautiful voice. He is widely considered one of the future leaders of soul music today to carry the genre forward.
