Biography

Bryson Bernard, 10 October 1979, Lafayette, Louisiana, USA. This contemporary R&B singer enjoyed a number of minor hit singles during the early 00s while plying his trade as a session vocalist. Music had provided the impetus for the young Bernard’s life, with a potential career in track and field abandoned at an early stage to pursue singing. He gained his loved-up recording moniker from one of his favourite cover versions, 112’s late 90s hit ‘Cupid’. He made his recording debut in 2001 with a self-released album that included the local hit ‘Do Ya Thing’. Both Cupid and the independent 2005 follow-up, The King Of Down South R&B, were popular on the southern R&B market, although the singer’s impressive vocal range found him tackling a wide variety of genres, including blues and dance rap. He also worked extensively as a studio session vocalist with blues and rap artists.
