Semi-advertorialized article about a musician whose claims of notability per WP:NMUSIC are not reliably sourced. He does not get an instant free pass over NMUSIC #5 just because the article has the phrase "Universal Motown" in it, for example -- he was signed to a minor indie label that uses Universal Motown's distribution infrastructure, not to the major label itself. And at any rate, the inclusion test at NMUSIC is not just what the article says, but how well the article references what it says -- musicians are prone to making inflated self-promotional claims about themselves that aren't actually accurate, so the notability test hinges on the ability to independently verify that their notability claims are true. But the three footnotes here are all primary sources -- two of his self-created profiles on music streaming services and a video clip of him performing -- which are not support for notability, and I can't find anything better on Google or in ProQuest either: I get the odd glancing namecheck of his existence in coverage of other people, and I get a lot of irrelevant stuff about other people who merely happen to have the same name, but I can find literally nothing that's about him.
