BMI Entertainment
Distinguished BMI Artist, Nelson Cade III, provided an extraordinary lunchtime experience for Rising Above Attendees on Thursday, January 25th. In February 2020 Nelson turned all four chairs on the NBC hit show The Voice with his version of Stevie Ray Vaughn’s Pride and Joy. He went on to make it to the top 20 on John Legend’s team when Covid-19 took the world for a ride. You can catch him playing a variety of genres at his shows such as blues, pop, folk, indie-rock and oldies, as well as some of his originals mixed in. His recently released debut single, Freedom is streaming everywhere!
