UNSIGNED TALENT! Airto...



Here's an unsigned artist that I've been following on YouTube for the past few years now, and I thought since it's so slow for news today that I may as well do a post on him.

Airto (pronounced a-year-tow) is a Soul/R&B singer from the Netherlands. I'd probably describe his voice as sounding similar to James Morrison, but it also reminds me a little of Chrisette Michele. just not as deep. His music is very stripped back and raw, and he does a lot of covers but also writes and arranges his own originals.

Here are three songs of his I chose to show you. Check out his covers of Michael Jackson's "Gone Too Soon", Gavin DeGraws "In Love With A Girl", Drake's "Best I Ever Had".
