Eamon Biography

Eamon


Staten Island vocalist Eamon appeared in late 2003, when his bold single "F**k It [I Don't Want You Back]" took urban radio by storm. With its spare melody and stripped-down production -- not to mention its profanity-laced dismissal of a two-timing lover -- the song stood out immediately, and blew up request lines nationwide. Jive jumped on the fervor, fast-tracking a video for "F**k It," and slating a full-length LP for January '04. When the debut dropped, it further showcased Eamon's strident lyricism and streetwise, doo wop-inspired vocals. Vintage rapper Milk Dee guested on two tracks. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
