The Newburgh Free Academy All Star Dance Team held a fundraiser at It’s All Good Restaurant last Saturday. Perfect timing, considering Estabon, aka Esty, would also be appearing at the same location for his album release party.
The dance troupe was eager to show off their talents, putting on an impressive recital before the evening’s headliner Esty took the stage. He sung a number of songs from his new album, titled “Optimistic.” Tracks like, “So Sexy Girl,” with its upbeat tempo and Esty’s velvety voice, generated quite a bit of excitement from the young ladies, reminding women that sexy is a state of mind.
Other tracks like, “Should It Be You,” Let Me Know” and “Only You” continue to express Esty’s vocal diversity and will resonate with people for generations to come. As you listen to the 15 tracks on the album you hear the soulful voice that was influenced by artists like Usher, Ginuwine, Lenny Kravits, Prince, Aaliyah, Michael Jackson and even the Whispers.
Derek Wilson of Prestigious Music Group has outdone himself once again. He has united an impressive group of people who collaborated on this project to create a body of work that celebrates the vitality of life and speaks profoundly to the strengths and the vulnerabilities of humankind and relationships.
One on One with Esty
The 21-year-old Poughkeepsie native Esty, recalls showing an interest in music at a young age. At the age of seven he could be seen singing around the house with a broom for a mic. That was also around the time he would join his church choir. “I grew up in church and have a strong Christian background,” Esty says.
As Estabon grew in age and talent, his audiences grew as well. As a teen Esty was a soloist in his church choir. In addition to singing in church, Estabon was competing and winning local talent shows, and being recognized for his singing and dancing. “I attended Spakenkill High School and won three talent shows,” Esty recounts.
According to Esty’s management and development group, Prestigious Music Group, his growing popularity and versatility have made him a much sought after talent. He will be going on tour in Germany in the fall with American Idol Fantasia. Now, Esty is spending much of his time writing new material and working with producers.
Esty fan’s can catch the artist at his next local appearance at the Barnes & Nobles in
Poughkeepsie on November 4 at 6 pm. He’ll be signing autographs and copies of his new cd “Optimistic.”For More Photos visit our Photo Gallery
