About
ME:
I’m
a young female working towards becoming a solo RnB singer. My very first
Performance was at the age of 3. I sung for my school. Then after that I sung at
High school on several occasions. I
also wrote Poetry and was taken around
to a number of schools performing my work. While at high school I put together
a choir
that performed on several occasions.
At college I continued to sing and work on my performing skills. I co organised
3 talent shows and performed as a guest twice. After leaving I was asked back
to work with some students which were attending. From the years of 92 to 98
I was a part of a gospel choir. We sung at a number of social events and also
had the opportunity to sing at the Manchester Opera House for a charity event.
From there I wanted to take my singing to a professional level.
In 98 I entered a local talent show called 'Brag and Boast' and won first place
singing Erika Badu's – On and on. I went on to the finals with a remixed track
and 4 dancers
added to the stage performance. I again won first place out of 13 finalist and
a
cash prize of £1000. Due to winning the talent show I was able to have my
own show the following week in a local community venue.
In 2000 I started working wholly on my own music. At the end of that year I
travelled to the USA for 3 months to start work on my first demo. I did some
basic
work with an up and coming production team (PowaHousProductions) based in
Baltimore, Maryland. It went well
and I did obtain a demo but I wasn’t fully satisfied
with the quality of work. At the start of 2002 I was informed of a studio
(Gorse
Hill Studios) in my area that would be able to help me to put together a demo
of
a relatively high standard. With working at Gorse Hill I was also able to
audition for
For the Trafford 'Party in the Park' event in the July of that year and also
‘The Side Show’, which is an event, organised to show case Trafford talent.
I performed
at the Manchester carnival as an ex 'Brag and Boast' winner all in the same
Month. I also featured on Carnival fm leading up to that.
This
year I have managed to get a little more studio time to improve my demo. I was
fortunate to be able to perform for the cultural peace day at the Urbis in
Manchester’s city centre on the 28th June. I have also performed at
'Party in the Park 2003’ on the 12th July. I brought the house down
at ‘The Side Show Part 2’ on the 19th July and have been
interviewed on Carnival FM the day after ‘Party in the Park’ as a lead up to
‘The Side Show’ and ALL FM as an up and coming
Artist representing Manchester talent.
