Newcomer Pee Wee Callins’ debut solo album �Street Soul, which releases today on Beatmart Recordings, showcases a voice that is rich with color, expression, power and emotion. The CD offers listeners straight-up
R&B/Soul music � one of the most popular musical genres in the country, but one that is rarely presented with excellence in today’s Christian music scene. The album combines Pee Wee’s silky-smooth vocals with the
R&B/Hip-Hop grooves of veteran-producer Todd Collins (The Katinas and Out of Eden) and is a “melting pot” of old school R&B and up-to-the-minute sounds. The street vibe and credibility of the project are further enhanced by the contributions of celebrated emcees Rob Hodge, Big Sonny, and Bobby Bishop. “Sunshine,” the first single from the CD, is currently going for adds on Gospel radio stations nationwide.

Pee Wee’s love for music began early in life; as a four-year-old he played drums in his grandfather’s church. He later took up the keyboard, and became a minister of music by 12 years of age. In 1994 he recorded an
album, called The Family That Prays Together Stays Together, with sixty of his family members. His musical success has enabled him to share the stage with such acclaimed artists as Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond, Shirley Caesar and more.

Street Soul is available on Beatmart Recordings and is distributed by Word Distribution.
