He has had many successes during his career. He reached #1 on both the iTunes and Amazon R&B New Releases Chart in December 2012 with the single "Still In Love," from his album "No Holding Back," featuring production from J. Staffz (Wiz Khalifa, G Unit), Infinite, and Grammy Award nominee Kay- dean Phillips. "No Holding Back" has been certified a Silver Award on DatPiff.Com for over 25,000 downloads. It is the followup to his award winning album "e State- ment." Lovari was featured on the front cover of Get Out Magazine in 2012 and preceded his album release with performances at Jacob Javits Center in NYC and Bronx's Crotona Park Stage.
