Very rarely can a vocalist take the stage in a crowded venue and immediately grab the attention of the entire room. Brian Fuente is a frontman with a ‘voice’ that packs a unique, raspy punch that has been turning heads with his musical capabilities since age nine. The seasoned singer hails from Ridgeland, Mississippi, a small town just outside of Jackson, explaining his southern-influenced rock/pop sound. The product of a guitar player and jazz vocalist, Fuente performed in between his mom's sets at local clubs. Growing up in a musical household, he found his way on the road, playing any club or venue that’d let him in the door throughout his younger years.
In 2007, with fire burning to share his music, Fuente took the road to Nashville. Not long after his arrival, he started the now well-known rock group Newmatic. As the frontman for the popular band, Fuente is no stranger to the spotlight. And in 2011, the singer auditioned for the hit TV reality competition The Voice. Focusing on music fulltime, Brian tapped into his southern roots, songwriting for a number of notable Nashville musicians and hit the studio with a new project that he’s preparing to share with the world.
Tune in this February to see Brian’s blind audition on NBC’s The Voice to see if his recognizable one turned the heads – or in this case, chairs – of some of the music industry’s most recognizable talents.
