Ira M.Watkins was born on the eastside of Pittsburgh PA on Feb 3rd, 1984. "Music has been in my blood since I was around 7 years old." Back in the times Ira's grandfather was in the army, he played a lot of jazz instruments such as: the trumpet, saxophone, drums, and trombone. The main reason he played those instruments was to teach kids how they can be something and acheive in life, this sample helped keep them out of trouble.
His grandfather was influenced by great jazz musicians such as Louis Armstong and Count Bassie. "At an early age I listened to a lot of new jack swing cats like Al B Sure, Keith Sweat, Michael Jackson and the late great Luther Vandross! These stars influenced me to sing as well as write songs. I have done numerous plays form high school to stage from Youngstown Oh and back home to Pittsburgh. I got a chance to meet Rufus Blaq who's an in house producer for Marques Houston and his label TUG Entertainment." As of right now Ira is working on his first R&B album titled "Soulful Hip Hop" which will be out by the summer time, so be prepared 09 is his year with this R&B Music! "I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for all my blessings, all my family, Mom and Dad, Brothers and Sister, Xeno and Carma and Black Inc. for making all this possible let's make history".
