Hailing from Washington, D.C., multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter James Tillman fell in love with music early on. When he learned one of his favorite artists, Marvin Gaye, was a native Washingtonian, Tillman became further driven to forge his own musical path. A student of tradition, but also inspired by contemporary producers, Tillman’s sound is soulful R&B with a modern twist.

Tillman released his debut EP, Shangri La, on April 29, 2014, and quickly earned acclaim. His music has been covered in a wide variety of publications, including Okayplayer and Essence Magazine. His music has received radio airplay from the likes of KCRW and Gilles Peterson’s BBC 6 program.

Tillman’s new album, Silk Noise Reflex, introduces a new sound to today’s R&B and soul lexicon: Silk Noise. It’s sleek and polished, but human and feeling. The mood is effortless, though seems achieved through some sort of songwriting secret. The variety of influences is easy to hear, but how they work together so well is complex. A meeting of jazz, hip-hop, soul, R&B, psychedelia, and so much more, its cohesiveness is a testament to Tillman’s songwriting prowess and his vocal skill. Credit is also due to Beau Sorenson (Death Cab for Cutie, Garbage, Yellow Ostrich), who mixed the record at Tiny Telephone in Oakland; mastering engineer Carlos Arredondo (Thao & Mirah, Deerhoof); and executive producer Merrill Garbus (tUnE-yArDs, Sister Suvi).

Tours with tUnE-yArDs and Wild Child have brought Tillman around North America. The artist looks forward to bringing Silk Noise Reflex around the world. Rooted in earnest artistry and love, Tillman’s timeless sound promises a brilliant future ahead.

CE on Facebook | CE on Soundcloud | CE on Twitter | CE on Instagram

Caleb Eberhardt is “CE” (pronounced “see”), a self-produced Contemporary R&B/Hip Hop artist from San Francisco, CA. He currently resides in Brooklyn, NY.

Best known for being one-half of Quincy Vidal, a New York based boom-bap jazz/hip hop project, CE has been writing and producing music for upwards of 10 years.

Coping with the slow & painful loss of his father to Alzheimer’s, while subsequently ending a four year relationship with the love of his life, his first official solo project takes us deeper into the explorations of his guarded subconscious.

Weaving together hauntingly-smooth melodies, dark production, and viscerally raw verses, CE cross-breeds familiar genres in ways that are unexpected and sophisticated. The lush, yet unsettling, sonic environments of his songs create a platform for his words, which are sung and rapped without inhibition.

Drawing inspiration from Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, and James Blake, CE is a progressive musician. Majestic, head-bobbing electronic beats can make the small Greenpoint bedroom where he writes/produces feel like a stadium. His lyrics, packed with relatable struggles and anthemic quotables, allow listeners rhythmic access to his complex mind. However, his inherent knowledge of “the classics” remain, making room for his gospel/folk roots to shine – ultimately coating every single song with a crisp, sexy, addictive, heart-wrenching layer of soulful melody.

“My audience is my therapist”, says CE. But the reverse is also true; while traveling with him, we travel within ourselves.

Let’s explore together.
