It was blues night at Sugar Bar on Tuesday, and the musicians were working through their grief over the loss of Nick Ashford, the singer and songwriter who with his wife, Valerie Simpson, penned some of the greatest songs of the Motown era.
Halfway through the first blues, a wailing tune in a minor key, Jermaine Paul, a young soul singer, started to talk over the vamp about what Mr. Ashford, whose chair was empty, meant to him, voicing what many in the room were feeling. - NY Times

Bio
Singer/ songwriter Jermaine Paul, acclaimed winner of NBC’s “The Voice,” is ready to reach new heights with the release of his upcoming single “Everyone In The World.” Determined to bring back feel good music and fill the void that is currently missing in R&B, the single marks the first offering off his full-length debut album, Make Love Save the World due out later this year.
Growing up as one of nine siblings in Spring Valley, NY, Jermaine was able to showcase his talents at the early age of six, singing and performing at local churches and talent shows. At the age of 15 Paul joined the pop quartet 1Accord, and signed to Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal’s record label, T.W.Is.M Records. With numerous offers on the table to go solo, Paul stuck with the group and had the amazing opportunity to tour across the globe, perform as an opening act for Shaq, and appear on the soundtrack to the film, Booty Call, starring Jamie Foxx. Paul would later go on to lend his incredible vocals to the tracks of Mary J Blige, Brandy, Blackstreet, Kelly Price, Corey Rooney, Rodney Jerkins, and Joss Stone.
After the disbanding of 1Accord, Jermaine followed with a short stint in the live band Focus, where he say his hard work and dedication pay off by gaining the attention of superstar Alicia Keys who hired him as one of her background singers. Continuing to grow as an artist, Paul toured internationally as her opening act, and shortly after was nominated for two Grammy’s, for best duet vocal on Alicia Key’s “Diary” and Luther Vandross’ All Star Tribute Album, “If This World Were Mine.”
Wanting to forge his own path after touring with Alicia Keys for eight years, Jermaine focused on his solo career and with the support of his family, he decided to audition for the second season of NBC’s “The Voice.” Jermaine would go on to join Team Blake Shelton, win over the hearts of America and emerge as the winner of Season Two.
Paul will release his infectious new single, “Everyone In The World” in the coming weeks and is hard at work to deliver his highly anticipated debut album later this year. “Everyone In The World” takes Jermaine back to his signature soulful sound and will give fans a preview as to what to expect from his album.
