<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Ballateir. Old school style artist/songwriter with a hint of new wave flavor. Born in Beloit, Wisconsin. Birthday of September 1st 1959. I enjoy writing and recording different styles of music. From country western to gospel. Music is a language that all cultures can relate to. Music begins in the days of God and Moses. And has since grown to and spread into astronomical proportions. My music is based around love, care, respect, honor and romance. My music represents all that is good and right. I write from my own personal life experiences, from the lives of those that I know as well as things that are just common knowledge. Not being a fluent keyboardist, I've learned to take the gift that God has given me and apply it to each and every one of my compositions. As a studio owner/operator, I can afford to just take my time and produce a sound that has amazed even myself. My musical "paper trail" has been very exciting. I have shared the musical platform with such artists as : The Manhttans, The Dramatics, Enchantment, The Temptations, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Roger Troutman and Zapp, Chapter 8 with Anita Baker just to name a few. My most memorable preformance was in 1994 when I performed live on the Montel Williams Show along with Motown legends, Martha Reeves and the Vadellas, The Contours and The Marveletts. My aspirations are to one day become a positive force in this business of music as a songwriter and/or vocalist. My name is Ballateir. And I sing this song for you.</span></span></p>
