Urban Network has been a critical resource of information for urban music industry executives, radio. This is a quote taken directly from their publication: "Up and coming singer/songwriter Pressley evokes the solid soul-pop balladry of yore with this impressive indie entry. His music is like Lionel Richie meets Christopher Cross in a rowboat on a still lake. 6 of the 8 songs like the title track (f/ Kim Waters on sax), "He Could Never Love You" and the sorrowful "I'm Lonely" are as heart-onsleeve as love songs come. But just to show he's not hopelessly whipped, Byrd also kicks the soulful "Show Me" and "Outta Here," a funky, drums-driven kiss-off." Byrd's new CD has won two awards at Virginia's 1st Annual R&B Awards Show He was chosen Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Soul Single. He is featured in a new movie titled No "One Will Ever Know" The new movie is being aired in Film Festivals around the world.
