Local Artist Makes NBA History at Pistons Game: Choir Boi Cartier
'Detroit's King of R&B' became the first black male nurse to sing the national anthem at a Detroit Pistons game.
Notoriously known as Detroit’s King of R&B, Choir Boi Cartier made history this past week.
On Thursday, May 6th, the R&B Singer, Songwriter, and nurse, performed at the Little Caesar’s Arena, singing the national anthem at a Detroit Pistons NBA game. (Fun fact: his vocal coach’s grandfather was the 1st black male nurse at Detroit’s Sinai Grace Hospital!)
Catching the attention of national media and the community’s support, the rising star proudly represented all nurses at the game, as he performed on National Nurses Week. Nurse by day, R&B singer by night. Just recently, he was listed on Must-Listen-to-Artists of 2021 on Thisis50.com To read more about Choir Boi Cartier, click here for his exclusive interview on Vocal.
