WP:BLP, edging in an advertorial direction, of a musician with no strong or properly sourced claim of notability per WP:NMUSIC. The awards he's claimed to have won do not count as "major" ones for the purposes of NMUSIC #8, Earshot is a campus radio chart that does not count toward meeting #2, and the concert tour is sourced to smalltown community weeklies that are not widely distributed enough to count toward meeting WP:GNG. And outside of the community weeklies, all of the other sourcing here is to primary sources and YouTube videos that cannot assist notability either. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which any musician is entitled to an article just because he exists -- real reliable source coverage in media, properly supporting a legitimate claim of notability, must be present for him to earn one, but nothing stated or sourced here is enough.

 * Delete - still pretty promotional article, despite recent attempts to tone down the praise throughout the article. Searches turn up a few trivial mentions, but not nearly enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG. And as pointed out, clearly doesn't meet WP:NMUSIC either.
