Acclaimed Soul Singer Solomon Jaye Converts Tap Dancing Rhythms Into Music With New Advanced System And Show "Solomon Jaye: ElektroTap"
The Grammy Recording Academy Member Takes ElektroTap™ to the Mainstream - Plus, Jaye Releases First Single "Smile (Stand Up)" From Upcoming Live Album.
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Celebrated singer, songwriter and tap dancer Solomon Jaye has taken his talents to another level with the creation of an advanced method of incorporating the sounds of tap dancing into music and live performances called ElektroTap™ now available, Jaye announces today. Perfecting a method introduced 30 years ago this month in the Gregory Hines film, 'Tap', ElektroTap is an advanced means of converting the percussive sound made by a tap dancer. The end result is that a tap dancer can trigger sound effects and virtual drums with their feet. ElektroTap uses a method that eliminates the need for pedals, bulky synthesizers, etc. Dancers have the freedom to shift between limitless, pre-set audio designs, software drums and effects while performing. All of this is controlled by wearable Bluetooth and wireless gloves or accessories. Jaye brings his innovative concept to life with his new show "Solomon Jaye: ElektroTap" that brings a fusion of pop music, live instruments and tap dancing right to the stage.

In addition, with the launch of ElektroTap, comes the exciting release of Jaye's first live single "Smile (Stand Up)", which is from Jaye's upcoming new live album. The song is now available via SoundCloud (https://soundcloud.com/solomonjaye-1), and it will be available on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon in the coming weeks. "Smile (Stand Up)" was written by Jaye for the album 'Alphabet Radio' with The Edge Effect and became a fan-favorite in Jaye's recent performances.
"I am extremely excited to finally announce ElektroTap and bring it to the masses right on the heels of Black History Month," says Jaye. "Tap dancing has always been my passion, and through ElektroTap, I'm thrilled I get to bring it to the stage and entertain people in a highly unique and more versatile way they haven't seen before." He continues, "Also, with the release of my first live single 'Smile' and the full album on the way, 2019 is all about love, giving back to my fans and hopefully reaching many news ones."
