Cool pop song with a heart. "Come on, let's go, we're leaving tonight. We'll take nothing 'cause we're angels in flight, leaving heartache behind, we'll leave our suffering behind and be happy tonight."

An interplanetary blend of pop, dance, urban and ballads with an enigmatic style that draws you in with lyrics and vocals that sometimes soar like Bowie or Gaha
When Saturn was five, if you awoke early enough on a Sunday morning, you'd catch him outside on the porch, his tiny feet buried in his grandmother's high heels and her Sunday hat falling lopsided on his head, singing out his favorite gospel hymns to the top of his lungs. Fast forward twenty years and he's lost the heels and the hat, but he's still singing. Writing songs that run the gamut of genres from pop to dance to urban, Saturn infuses his own funky blend of pop/urban music with a raw edge and sensuality that is heavily influenced by such icons as Prince and Madonna. "It's a sultry, pop-laden mix that is a throwback to the late "80s sound. Think R&B. Think jazz. Think club music think again! It's ART." (Ed Mannix, Outmusic) Though Saturn started writing songs when he was 12, it wasn't until much later he decided to step out on faith and pursue his dream of music. He graduated with honors from Texas Christian University with a degree in TV/Film/Theatre. He's had leading roles in numerous professional shows including "Six Degrees of Separation", "Angels in America", and "Much Ado About Nothing", and he's also starred in the Independent films "Playin' for the Kitty" and "The Last Days of Winter". While busy acting, he won awards with his short stories and screenplays and worked alongside J. Todd Harris (producer of the recent "Urbania") for J. Todd Harris Productions in LA. Not until 2002 did Saturn decide to finally try his hand at music and produce an album. After re-locating to his birthplace of Baltimore, MD, Saturn formed his own label SJG Entertainment and began to create his first CD. The studio he found that could fit his budget was actually a basement and consisted of a Yamaha AW4416 Hard Disk Recorder, an AKAI MPC 2000 XL MIDI, and a Marshal microphone. Using only his Yamaha PSR-540 home keyboard Saturn played all the music, sang all the vocals and produced all the songs to his debut, "The Virgin Poet". Released independently in July 2002, The Virgin Poet proved to be quite a unique experience to listeners and defied being placed in a genre. In support of the album, Saturn performed solo at open mics, Pride Festivals in DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, most recently appeared at the Meow Mix in Manhattan and Ed Mannix's "A Circle of Berdaches" in Brooklyn. The most notable performance was a full concert which he produced at Eubie Blake National Institute of Jazz in May 2003. Also in 2003, Saturn was honored to be a featured artist on Audiofile. Audiofile is a segment of "This Way Out", a gay and lesbian radio news magazine that is broadcast nationally on over 130 stations. Songs from "The Virgin Poet" receive airplay on 91.7 FM KOOP Austin, TX and KPFT 90.1 FM in Houston, TX as well independent webcast stations. These days Saturn is busy at work on a new CD, is still performing when he can, and will embark on a search for dancers, musicians, and a manager to take him to the next level of his career. With only one year in the indie music biz, he's turning heads, raising eyebrows and looking forward to what is shaping up to be long and promising career.

Lyrics
“Angels in Flight” Walking the world With my rose colored glasses. Making a note of everything that passes When all around me is destruction and sadness Pushing us all to the edge of madness. I open my ears, I hear “nigger and a faggot”. Shit, it’s time to pull the trigger, I’ve had it. Open your eyes, punk, that’s right I dropped you. What u gonna do now that a black mo’ Got u? Why don’t u try these? My rose colored glasses And maybe you’ll see me in a different fashion. Look at the world, how it cries it out to you So much to forgive and so much to start new. Look at the people, we’re all God’s children, We’re all colored red for sin and absolution. When u see what I see Maybe your mind will start changing. Walk in my shoes, You’ll see the pain is amazing. Watch out, punk, might be 2 much 4 u 2 handle. Nuff of this talk, I’m gonna find me some angels. Now give me back my rose colored glasses. I see color, I see light. I see a world of magic and wonder. I look to the left, I look to the right. People all around me fighting with the night. Where’s an angel that’s come undone? Look at that boy there! Here I come. Boy, You’re looking harder than the streets. Do u need to something to eat Or are u lonely like me? Boy, Something brought you to your knees. Was it stronger than steel Or was it fragile as a leaf? Oh, baby, sure as there are stars up in the sky There’s no angel in disguise Coming to give you new eyes. Well, baby, You are an angel of this world, You are a gift from up above, So look up, you’re not alone. It’s alright, it’s alright tonight. Take a walk with me. Look over there You’ll see she’s so sad. You’re not the only angel feeling bad. Girl, I know I’ve seen you here before. Watching parked cars, It can be such a bore. Now girl, People get stuck up on this street. Did you run out of gas Or were you traveling too fast? Oh baby, sure as there are stars up in the sky The world’s still spinning on its side You’re not an illusion, it’s just life. No, baby, I’m no angel in disguise, But that light up in your eyes Is enough to get you a ride Where it’s alright. It’s alright tonight. Looks like I found me some angels. Come on, let’s go We’re leaving tonight. We’ll take nothing Cuz we’re angels in flight. Leaving heartache behind, We’ll leave our suffering behind And be happy tonight Wearing our rose colored glasses. I feel one more coming. Here we go. Hey you, Drowned in a pool of your own light Yeah, the light may be your eyes But your isolation cries. Hey you, Tell me what you ran here from. I mean you no harm, Just bringing you a rose colored world. Oh baby, I will hold you in my arms, For those demons, they will haunt, But I’ll keep you safe and warm. Oh baby, Could you be the one that I asked for? Could you be the one that I adore? Here, just put these glasses on And it’s alright. It’s alright tonight. -Saturn
