Bio
.. ................ .. Praise.. "Bunmi is going to offer something rewarding and fulfilling to the music industry: originality. The sensational pop singer has created a powerful presence with her unique take on Pop music. With a voice that is unparalleled to most, Bunmi's music is something that is refreshing and innovated. If you want to know her style, then think of Tina Turner meets Tori Amos meets Suzanne Vega.".. - http://www.juniorscave.com/Bunmi.html.... "Like someone slapped a guitar in Mary J. Blige's hands and it fucking rocked!!".. - Comment from Toronto Indie Week Judge.... "Bunmi sounds like a natural singer. There's an earthy quality to her singing that sets the listener immediately at ease, and her tone is gorgeous without ever sounding garish. She is the sort of singer you could literally listen to all day long.".. - Wildy's World .... "I am coming to your next show. I will bring a bag of BBQ-flavoured chips with me and will eat them loudly during breaks. Then I will nervously try to fold the chips bag -- so that it won't make any noise -- before you start playing. I will have lots of miniature chip crumbs all over the front of my dress, but it won't matter because I will be mesmerized by your beautiful music. I will clap loudly & enthusiastically with my orange-stained, greasy hands. I can't wait." .. - Myspace comment.... Bio.. Toronto-based singer/songwriter Bunmi Adeoye (pronounced boo-mee a-day-oh-yeh!) is described as sounding like a mixture of Carol King and Tracy Chapman with a dash of Joan Armatrading and Ani DiFranco. Bunmi writes and sings tunes that could be the soundtrack of a scorned ex-girlfriend, desperately searching for "closure". .. Bunmi lived in Europe for a several years and while there she worked with various local artists as a studio and backup singer. She was also a semi-finalist in the London-based Perrier Young Jazz Musician competition. She is strongly influenced by artists such as KT Tunstall, David Gray, Damien Rice, Sade and George Michael. She credits her flair for writing melodramatic tunes to listening to vintage French love songs, reading Harlequin romances before she was old enough to French kiss, and watching loads of Barbara Streisand and Judy Garland musicals. .. She has performed in various Toronto venues, including Hugh's Room, Rivoli and Free Times Cafe. Bunmi recently released her debut album, Paper Dolls, Glass Houses... .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .................... ..........View Bunmi Adeoye's EPK.. -
