Cupid's Atlantic Records debut, "TIME FOR A CHANGE," serves as a divine introduction to a multi-talented singer/performer who melds the diverse sounds of the urban South - R&B, soul, country-blues, and the countless regional flavors of hip-hop - into a charismatic sound that's irresistible, unstoppable, and uniquely his own.

"I don't want to be the next Chris Brown, I'm not the next Omarion or the next Usher," says the 24-year-old Lafayette, Louisiana native. "I'm Cupid. I'm the guy that comes on the stage and yells and screams and sings and performs and sweats, I'm the guy that brings the fun to kill the monotony of all the bad stuff that's going on these days."

Cupid's breakthrough first single, "Cupid Shuffle," has already sparked a nationwide sensation, with everyone taking to the floor to do the brand new dance that's sure to be swinging across America all summer long. Within weeks of the track's early 2007 release, literally hundreds of videos appeared online featuring Cupid lovers of all stripes - boys and girls, moms and dads, even one-eyed grannies - showing off their shuffle.

"I'm not stopping until I get the president to do the Shuffle," Cupid laughs, but the drive and determination he's shown thus far suggests he's only half-joking. Born Bryson Bernard, Cupid discovered a passion for music in the church where his father served as pastor, singing in choir and learning piano at 15. Like any red-blooded American teenager, he was also deeply interested in sports, playing high school football and ultimately receiving a track-and-field scholarship to University of Louisiana @ Lafayette.

Though he was a valued member of the school's Ragin' Cajun Track Team, Cupid soon decided that music was his truest passion. He left the squad and formed a vocal group with a few friends, dubbing it Fasho! The group - which later changed its name to Fifth Element - became a local favorite, performing at fraternity/sorority parties as well as talent shows throughout the region. Alas, personal and musical differences split the group apart and Cupid embarked on his solo journey.
