 MIAMI, FL. (Russ Agency PR) - The Russ Agency (TRA) has announced the addition of R&B Superstar Gerald Levert to its celebrity client roster. Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, TRA specializes in public relations and entertainment marketing. South Florida has quickly become a new force within music, fashion, film and television. Its multicultural flavor and sex appeal have made it the new celebrity destination of choice for both business and recreation. The region continues to generate a tremendous buzz as the entertainment industry's newest "hot spot."
'Gerald Levert is one of the biggest names in R&B/Soul music. He's an 'A' list celebrity who is well respected within the industry and adored by millions of loyal fans around the world. This is a major accomplishment for TRA and I am honored to have an opportunity to work with such an incredibly gifted artist,' says President/CEO Sabrina Russ.
Gerald's dynamic career has produced more than eight million album sales, fifteen #1 hits as a singer, songwriter and producer and seventeen gold and platinum records. His high energy 'live' shows, powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics have earned him a place in music history as one of this generation's most accomplished contemporary R&B performers. Gerald has made numerous television guest appearances on 'The Jamie Foxx Show,' 'The Parkers,' 'The Hughley's,' and the HBO cult smash 'Soul Food.' He also appeared in the hit comedy, 'Beauty Shop.'
Gerald continues to lend his support to a broad spectrum of humanitarian and self-empowerment efforts. He shared his musical talents as a part of RICA (Royal Initiative to Combat Aids) with proceeds to help combat the spread of HIV/Aids in Southern Africa.
He and his father, Eddie Levert of the legendary O'Jays, are the national spokesmen for Real Men Cook. This initiative is observed on Father's Day and celebrates the importance of family. Russ adds, 'Not only is Gerald's musical gift a product of his bloodline, but so is his commitment to making a difference.'
His new album, "Do I Speak 4 the World," is scheduled for a November 2004 release on Atlantic Records. Soon, Gerald will add a new dimension to his already illustrious career with the fall launch of the Gerald Levert Fur & Leather Collection.
