King Takeshii, the R&B/neo-soul recording artist, author, and U.S. Marine veteran behind Real Entertainment Records LLC, is closing out 2026 with new music and new books: three singles — “Wait,” “Nicotine Dream,” and “Desire” — his forthcoming album Tsunami, and the October 2026 launch of his children’s book, Speak Up: Tyler’s Fight Against A Bully.
The singles, released in 2026, deliver Takeshii’s signature sound — modern R&B built on rich soul melodies over heavy 808s — with “Wait” and “Nicotine Dream” featuring collaborator Clay Léon.
The tracks were written and produced alongside collaborators including Clay Léon, Devonta Fletcher, Marcus Simpson, and Michael Fletcher III, and released through his own label, Real Entertainment Records LLC, based in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
On the bookshelf, Takeshii’s range runs just as wide. His crime thriller Blue Falcon published in July 2026 through Real Entertainment Media Group, following his 2024 romance 4 Walls: A Tapestry of Love Woven.
This October he turns to young readers with Speak Up: Tyler’s Fight Against A Bully, a children’s book about a boy who learns to stand up to bullying — complete with a parent-and-teacher discussion guide.
A U.S. Marine veteran, Takeshii’s story runs from military service to the recording studio to the founder’s desk: he runs his own label, hosts the Wet Zone Podcast, is developing the Mojada Lingerie brand, and serves as Football Commissioner of Lyman Pop Warner, the Seminole County, Florida youth football and cheer nonprofit serving more than 100 young athletes.
King Takeshii is available for interviews — in person in Central Florida or remote worldwide — on his music, his books, veteran entrepreneurship, and youth mentorship. Review copies, press photos, and broadcast-quality audio are available on request.
