Zacardi Cortez is about to get his close-up. The 26-year old Houston-based singer has been singing all of his life and in recent years has become known for his earth-quaking vocals on James Fortune & FIYA’s hits, “The Blood” and the #1 smash, “I Believe.” He began his career singing with his family, The Cortez Singers, and recording with his musical godfather, John P. Kee. The anticipation for his debut CD, “Zacardi Cortez: The Introduction,” has been so strong that his recording home, Blacksmoke Media, has released a five-song digital EP to satisfy Cortez’ fans until his full CD is released.
The self-titled extended play is now live and available for streaming and downloading on iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, eMusic.com, Rhapsody, Spotify.com and Zune. It’s anchored by Cortez’ Top 5 radio smash, “One More Time.” The soul-stirring ballad features gospel legend, John P. Kee and wetted the musical appetites of gospel fans from coast to coast for more Zacardi Cortez. “Zacardi is the best singer in America today,” says Blacksmoke Media CEO, Kerry Douglas. “I’ve been grooming him like I groomed James Fortune and Earnest Pugh. Zacardi is my next superstar and I have no doubt that he will be one of the biggest artists the gospel world has ever seen.”
