Robert IMtume Owens
USA / France
*The Velvet Voice of R&B*
With his seamless R&B blends and smooth, soulful delivery, Robert IMtume Owens crafts music that captivates. His signature style—melodic grooves, soothing vibrations, and undeniable passion—has made him a standout in the genre.
Owens re-emerged in 2018 with the breakout hit *”I Wanna Go Back,”* blending jazzy sophistication with infectious hooks. His 2020 global smash *”Vibration”* (with UK’s Sounds of Superbad) dominated charts worldwide, earning nine #1 spots and staying relevant for 10 months. The follow-up, *”Don’t Give Up,”* solidified his reputation as *”The Velvet Voice”* among R&B and Quiet Storm audiences.
Owens : “When producer T Money Green and Al Bell (the CEO of Bellmark Records at the time whose roster included “the artist formerly known as Prince”) heard my vocals on a demo for the Dramatics, I was signed to record the single “Sex Zone” for the album Organized Kaos in 1995 on Hyped International/Bellmark Records. Later, I moved to Las Vegas and in 2004, had the opportunity to perform throughout the strip”.
In 2005, he recorded the contemporary gospel single “Talk to Me” (written by V Michael McKay) with the Las Vegas mass choir on the Tyscot Records/Street Gospel Recordings label.
“The experience took me back to my roots and I came full circle, recording my own contemporary Gospel album, So Much Better in 2009 by Newday Christian.
In 2023, Owens relocated to Kansas City, expanding his EMP Worldwide Empire while continuing to tour. His single *”Elementary”* soared to #1 in Canada and the U.S., proving his enduring appeal. A fixture on *Luxury Soul* compilations (2021-2023), he kicked off 2025 with the funky pop anthem *”Friends and Lovers”* featuring Kim Covington and the re-release of *”Vibration”* (SOS Mix) is making waves in smooth jazz.
A seasoned performer from LA, Owens turns every show into an unforgettable experience—one night with him, and you’re hooked.
*Smooth. Soulful. Unstoppable.*

The Dutch-language electro/punk band De Plaag looks, at first glance, like a swingers party gone completely off the rails. Poetic with a filthy edge, bold when it can be and vulnerable when it has to be. Stark naked chaos in the dark, De Plaag lays itself bare.
A De Plaag show sticks to your retina like a love bite on your neck.
