LIKE YESTERDAY

Replacing swift left and right hooks for hooks in captivating compositions, Heavy Green Entertainment singer/songwriter/performer Manny Delvalle, is the next contender fully prepared to compete for R&B/Pop distinction. A proficient boxer and Silver Gloves recipient, the Philadelphia native decided to exchange a career in sports for the equally strenuous vocation of music. Manny was raised by his Father, whom he credits as one of the first people to notice his singing capabilities. “When my father heard me singing at home one day, he decided boxing wasn’t the answer, singing was.”

With the encouragement of his family and friends, Manny began to consistently hone his craft. After school he would spend a majority of his time in studios around Philadelphia recording music. In a matter of only two months, Manny had recorded up to 10 songs, including hit records “PYT” and “No One Else”. Not only was Manny pouring his heart out in the studio, he also took to the stage to exercise his exceptional talent as a well rounded performer, doing about five to six shows a week. Eventually, all of Manny’s hard labor would pay off after a life changing phone call from music veterans Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. A deal with Island Records seemed promising for Manny, but never came to pass. “My opportunity to sign with LA Reid closed quickly, as they decided to work with another artist. That artist turned out to be the next biggest pop star in the world. So I had to start from square one again.”
