Spotlight -- Bryan O'Quinn (performance video) "Stay True" * Instrumental -- Da Vinci

[ShutTheFukkUp2]

dont like this cut at all. Mr. O Quinn please put back the original mix!! this kills my chakras

[coreychris86]

good messege, song needs work..work...work...not hatin, just constructive criticism

[TheFuckdaddy]

@coreychris86 i disagree its not the song that needs work - Someone off the internet mixed this , it's not O'Quinn's official album cut -- but i don't have a problem with it --i heard him perform it in North Carolina w/ a LIVE BAND... He Killed it! -- it has already been remixed for the album.

[maramaclare]

yum

[PrestonsRock]

The young man is verrrrrrrrrrrry nice!!!

[THEONE2009100]

He sounds like Bilal.i love me some Bilal :)

[neosoulvibe]

@THEONE2009100 I feel you on that one -- I love me some Bilal too ;) That Swagger is most def like Bilal here too ..you have a good ear.

[patrickquinn33]

My girl actually found this song and turned me onto it. I'm a Quinn and had to check it out. Good stuff cousin. I live in Detroit metro and I do love what you are onto. I'm a big J. Dilla, Dwele, PPP, DJ Mitsu and Coultrain fan. This is raw but that is what I love about it. It is real raw talent. I see you are following the posts so put it out there where or how I can buy your music.

[Lonna357]

Authenticity is sexy - Bryan is very authentic!

[lilpoo205]

I DONT GET IT...

[Lonna357]

@lilpoo205 I think thats just the point to his song his lyric "STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF (your reason, your cause obviously( for him) it's not about being trendy and doing what everybody else does -He is doing what he does and loving it! Many people get it and that's cool but if you don't "get it" as you say you don't then that's very cool too } because you know that's not your type performer.

[MrMagicMoment]

Bryan O'Quinn is a real artist - no gimmicks needed - He has a solid fan base . I'm glad to see there are young people who really care about saying something with their music. STAY TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE BROTHER!

[MrVicnasty]

I'm glad to see there are still artist out there interested in making real music opposed to following trends - Way to go Bryan O!

[FullCircleXKZ]

By the end of this number it really reminds me of Arrested Development I keep waiting to hear him say Tennessee ??? Take me to another place. lol

[VibrantThing2007]

Artist!

[Xaltus]

Wow....

X

[neosoulvibe]

Very cool almost abstract style here, however I have seen him perform live and he's almost like an old school Motown performer in the way he controls the stage audience and his material ... I 'm curious to see what the remixes are going to be like.

[VibrantThing2007]

You have to be deep to pick up the vibe off this joint .. he is talkin bout some real shytt here.. but if you are not on a journey in your own life you might miss the soulful magic- Well Done O'Quinn!

[neosoulvibe]

The positive lyrics and the confidence in your voice says it all ... very nice Bryan

[sarahsrnb]

Go Bryan! Stay true to yourself !

[TheFuckdaddy]

what do you mean what?

[MrMagicMoment]

Many people said Elvis Presley could not have become a mainstream singing superstar ...and Frank Sinatra did not have a voice ..Bryan O'Quinn obviously has a fanbase following and as a BMI songwriter he has been selling records and performing for years.

it's not about being a bodygaurd you post a hate comment like that and expect nobody to speak out grow up young lady-

[MrMagicMoment]

ALL MUSIC IS NOT FOR ALL PEOPLE ! Some people dont like Beyonces singing I personally thinks shes great! OQuinn is doing his thing too.

[Over21Tracks]

Yo, Why is it that fat chicks always hate on brothaz that are too suave to even look at her fat funky ass case and point -> impr3ttyblack LOL

[sarahsrnb]

I beg to differ.. Im sitting here watching The Soul Train Awards 2009 so far I have heard singers Trey Songs, Ginuwine , Raheem DeVaughn,, Ryan Lesile , Mario Charlie Wilson who was good and Brian McKnight Mcknight who was Spectactular ( the girl that sung with him was less than that). But Bryan OQuinn sounds just as good as the the other guys singing if not better more clear unique

[INSOLENCE247]

[Underground7Devotion]

OMG Bryan O'Quinn!!! It's great to see you are still doing your thing man. This is nice and you are looking well ... Stay True yourself!

[Lonna357]

I disagree with you. I love the tone of his voice and the message in his music --much better than that ignorant ghetto hate. most of his music is very artist and creative like Prince or D'angelo My friends and family think he is way cool.

[TheFuckdaddy]

You gotta be kidding @impr3ttyblack your family and friends LMAO They probably tell you that you look good too... all 299 pounds of you . bitch please your opinion is just that!

[TheFuckdaddy]

[Over21Tracks]

[bchoates]

You know that I love that song, and I love that you have your own style. Love You.

[Over21Tracks]

@BCHOATES I agree with you dude has his own style and his music is very encouraging hes is talking about those hater in this song word for word.

[Lonna357]

Yes I have heard this on the radio show (neo soul love feast) not to mention .Bryan OQuinn does a lot of things to help his community organizing and public service.

[magiq1]

[Legahsee1]

okay first of im sure if you probably knew ho THAT guy is.. youd agree with me..rakaa form dialted peoples..this guy looks like him when this guy puts glasses on..admit it.and is tht a compliment

[sarahsrnb]

Bryan O'Quinn has been a professional singer and contract model for many years now ... He is very attractive and a nice person. Much respect!

[Legahsee1]

lol thats completely irrelevant to what mrvicnasty is on about but either wayy

[MrVicnasty]

Dilated Peoples is an underground hip hop group that resides in California. It has achieved great fame in the underground hip hop community, although it has had little mainstream success in the US, with the exception of the song "This Way," a 2004 collaboration with Kanye West. It reached the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart with two tracks,

[Legahsee1]

i knoww lmaooo

[MrVicnasty]

Bryan OQuinn was one of the few underground dance music artists to enjoy negligible mainstream exposure during the late '80s and early '90s heyday of hip-hop soul. OQuinns smooth seductive crooning style and erotic dance moves earned him a significant female following and made him a presence on the up and coming R&B dance music scene. He was also an Opening act for Grammy award winning rap group Arrested Development.

[FullCircleXKZ]

Bryan's hair has been a major topic of conversation in various hair magazines and on Internet forums. He wears it all natural and I have even seen picture of him in tight cornrows and braids

[Over21Tracks]

I hear you - I mean no harm to you- I noticed that you did not rate O'Quinn's video but you mentioned another artist on his page -- i agree with you Toihorn2 is good flava too and I RATED her video too! *****5 stars

[DontFlatterUrselfSon]

No proplem, I give this brotha Bryan O Quinn 5*****s plus as well..

[FullCircleXKZ]

very nicely said ... Honestly -- I'd like to See BOQUINN and Toihorn2 do a neo-soul Male/ female Duet... now that would be hot too!

[DontFlatterUrselfSon]

Yep it sure would..

Thx

[DontFlatterUrselfSon]

Check out "ToiHorn2", another independent artiist that has good souns like you. This is nice..

[Robust10hung]

Artistic, Creative and Talented!

[novembertalespinner]

I'm glad to see that there are still singers who are producing good work. I like your style. This is my first time listening to your work. Keep on working it King. Those who have ears will hear and support you.

[Underground7Devotion]

Nice warm tone to his voice but he can still hit high notes.

[MrMagicMoment]

Those notes you can't hear very well --- the actual notes are not all that important. They are rhytmic fillers. They just help keep the groove going. This guy has natural talent. "good show"

[Over21Tracks]

Bo Quinn! Man, you are faithfully doing your thing as a real artist—much respect to you and your work.

[barbie50a]

not bad not too bad at all!

[BlackFedoraMJ]

Hey wow I love it my friend. 5 ***** of course. And very great Video :D. This is something I wanna hear when I'm driving in my car and sun is shining ;D Grrooooovy ;)

[MrMagicMoment]

driving in my car and sun is shining ;D Grrooooovy Thats a good way to describe this track. My young nephew is listening to Stay True right now and he says he would love to do a remix on this track with you dude!

[sarahsrnb]

Mellow, creative, laidback, star quality -- Go OQuinn! *****5 stars

[FullCircleXKZ]

I really do love the positive energy you bring Mr. O'Quinn! Love to you and your family!

[Ziana808]

accomplished and original artist ... Bryan OQuinn is good because I have ALWAYS loved the way he stayed true to his own unique sound ... I recently listened to one of his old CDs. He does not try to sound like the other singers out there he really has his own style he clearly has a fanbase. I predict others will eventually try to duplicate him just like they do Prince and MJ and Ginuwine and Dangelo.

[MrEDBlack]

WOW very neo soul with a Lil bit of jazz flavor I like this joint and what a positive message. I like the old record sound and it does sound a great deal like the old Motown recordings. This brutha is doing his thang. Go head playa........

[INSOLENCE247]

what a passionate artist you are!

[bchoates]

Sing on my Brother, I love it.

[Ziana808]

old school authentic sounds and nuances good job!

[PoliticalFunk007]

neosoul

[FullCircleXKZ]

Smooth and groove with and edge , He is such a positive message artist I really like that

[PoliticalFunk007]

I like this - its mellow and different

[BryanOQuinnTV]

Thank you! Lonna

[sarahsrnb]

groovy positive and very cute!

[MrMagicMoment]

Keep doing what you are doing. Your haters are just doing their job being jealous because you are far more ambitious and flourishing than they. I think you are great!

[Lonna357]

He has a warm romantic voice, and is a very creative performer. Wonderful! Want to see his live show right now!

[BryanOQuinnTV]

Thank you very much Dear Heart , you are so nice to me!

[MrMagicMoment]

This really sounds like an old motown record. how do you get that sound even on the vocals

[Lonna357]

Like an old Motown record ...Wow , .that is a GREAT way to describe this recording , i would agree! Very nice.

[happylarry]

the vocals are like that because it was probably recorded on a poor quality microphone

[misssexybooty]

The aged sound was a result of using his old record vinyl - it was intentional. It was listed in his Blog ; ALSO Singing at the inauguration after party I'm sure he has good microphone! lol

[happylarry]

lol why i got so many thumbs down is beyond me. it wasn't meant to be an insult

[MrMagicMoment]

FWD: from Bryan OQuinn: No, we actually used state of the art technology in the recording sessions. However on this particular remix we decided to try something different. I wanted that Classic Motown Sound so I sampled authentic sounds and nuances from a pressed record vinyl that I personally recorded back in 1989, this however is not the album mixed track that I will use -- but I had fun doing it-- so glad you noticed —

[BryanOQuinnTV]

WOW.. LOL you all don't miss a thing do you... I better becareful what I put out there.. LOL thanks for the support! The new album is coming and it's same song different mix.

[BryanOQuinnTV]

No, we actually used a state of the art technology in the recording sessions. However on this particular remix we decided to try something different. I wanted that Classic Motown Sound so I sampled authentic sounds and nuances from a pressed record vinyl that I personally myself recorded back in 1989  However, this is not album cut but I had fun doing it-- so glad you noticed —

[Ziana808]

So nice to see somebody making music about something real and not just following the crowd Express yourself my soul brother! I like what you are doing.

[BryanOQuinnTV]

I love music with a message -- I have to identify with with lyric.

[sarahsrnb]

Bryan O'Quinn you are such a positive artist STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF BABY! Woooh!! LOL

[sarahsrnb]

cute and groovy!

[Over21Tracks]

Dude you got style-- your doin it for yourself- luv the message and the smooth groove brutha!

[BryanOQuinnTV]

I believe that music is supposed to be creative and fun-- NOT about competition thats what my song Stay True is about STAY TRUE TO WHAT YOU DO AND WHO YOU ARE! Thanks for discussing it!

Best regards to all ~ Bryan OQuinn
