Cross Movement Records expands its horizons to include R&B with the eclectic debut release of Metamorphosis by J.R. J.R., the familiar R&B voice behind many of CMR’s memorable hooks, is a versatile crooner and multi-talented producer with unmistakable style.
Born Courtney O. Peebles in St. Louis, Missouri, J.R.’s impressive list of collaborations includes “Closer to You” (Holy Culture/The Cross Movement), “N.F.L. (New Found Love)” (Moment of Truth/Da’ T.R.U.T.H.) and “My Clothes, My Hair” (The Thesis/The Ambassador) to name just a few. He grew up in the church but never really listened to the Gospel message – living with one foot in the streets and one foot in the church. It was not until he saw himself as a hypocrite that he decided to trust what the Bible said about God’s plan for his life. “So now I feel the desperate need to show the world this light in me…praying that every man would take heed to the Word of God that sets free.” -- J.R.
J.R.'s sophomore release, Life By Stereo, drops on December 26, 2007!!!
