Apparently I sound like Amana Melome'...but sometimes, VIBE-wise I'm compared to E. Badu, Zap Mama, Jill Scott, Les Nubiens, Sade, Norah Jones, Billie Holiday... BIG SMILE... all singers I admire. You'll just have to hear the whole album to find out...won't you :O)
About me...
..my name means peaceful star in Swahili.
Born in Germany (Munchen), raised around the world, now in LA, via New York.
I speak a handfull of languages (feel free to leave comments in Italian, French, German, or whatever suits your fancy :)...I love to laugh! I LOVE good food, though I'm a health nut..oh - I REALLY love the sunshine!! ( and playing in it, dancing in it, napping in it).
what else?...what else?
Music is my blood, expression is my breath. Sometimes expression is paint, or clay, or dance, or writing...or becoming someone else (acting), but most often SONG (and song-WRITING too!).
By the way - all lyrics to my songs are available on my website (www.amanamelome.com)..if you'd like to start singing along (smile).
Everyone in my family is an artist - beautifully inspiring people, I might add - and so it is.
Feel free to read a long..more SERIOUS BIO on my website: www.amanamelome.com (or on my other myspace page below).
My debut CD 'Indigo Red' has been released by Irma Records in Europe and Japan !!! (yay!)
AAAAHHHHH!!! in the US - my album is available @ WHOLE FOODS MARKET!!! (it's the first indie project they decided to distribute!)
I'm in full swing of my Italian tour right now, till the fall. then back to LA to record. Lots of lovely things happening...will tell you more down the line (just a hint: doing my thing (as myself) on a TV show over here, will come out in the fall)
THE CD IS AVAILABLE NOW also on I-TUNES. or you can CLICK HERE:
to BUY THE CD and spread the love ;o)
..... I figured this was the important stuff .....
YES, YES. BLESSING YOUR PRESENCES WITH RASPECT & ROYALTY KEEP THE FIRE BURNING INSIDE AND STAY ON THE POSITIVE SIDE PEACE AND ONE LOVE ** ORGANIC MOVEMENT**
Head back to Europe? You're in LA? I'm wrapping up a documentary project, releasing new material and recording/performing newer material. Staying busy, but that's a good thing. Glad to see you're doing the same :)
When I'm bored Walking with you Feels like the thing to do When I need more Talking Brings about a Reversal of blues
About us I don't doubt us In this world where things go bust Every "Hopes Up Day"
We wear so many shoes We've forgotten how to lose Track of The things that our dreams Sing feeling good about You and me Our thing We stiff being board Knock Woulda', Coulda', and Shoulda' When they ask Do you know doubt?
We build our lives with love And it shows us around The loose ends Of false hopes And time consuming false Friends
So..., When I'm bored Walking with you Feels like the thing to do When I need more Talking Brings about a Reversal of blues
