Former Pretty Ricky lead singer Ambition comes through with the new “Take Us Down” music video. Kick back and check it out below.
To have Ambition is to have a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. That’s what this artist is all about, and how he earned the name “Ambition”. Early in his career, his drive and determination landed him a deal with Blue Star Records/Atlantic Records as the lead singer of the platinum selling R&B Group Pretty Ricky where he was known as 4Play. During that stint he was featured in Black Beat, Right On, Vibe and Word Up Magazines, the BET Awards and 106 N. Park. After spending a little over two years in that role, he made the decision to pursue a solo career going back to his roots; writing and performing as “Ambition”.
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, seasoned performer, Ambition is continuing his journey and grinding away to the top. Due to his captivating stage presence, Ambition has performed alongside acts such as Rick Ross, Trey Songz, Kerri Hilson, Eric Bene’t, and many others. Ambition now spends his time writing, recording, choreographing and performing both as a solo act, and with his band, Radio Tokyo, throughout the US.
As a solo artist and published author, Ambition has already written, recorded and released two mix-tapes (A-Game & Verses/Versus), an LP (Spaceship), numerous singles such as (Put It Down and Sticks & Stones) and a fiction novel “The Shinobi: Tales of the Night Wind”. With his Usher meets Boys II Men style, his songs are sure to grab people’s attention and get their feet tapping. Though, he’s already attributed to people moving their feet with the Hit Top 40 Dance Song, “Diary,” by 11thRecords Recording Artist Tino Coury. Ambition wrote the song, produced by Coury, with Alex Cantrall (Fantasia, Dru Hill, JoJo).
Now the A-Game’s changed, though, and Ambition is focusing on writing, recording and performing around the country– trying to make a name for himself. Be on the look out: the mania ensues this fall when the EP, “The Phoenix Project”, drops.
