  • Bio

    ...... .. .... Now, of the original line-up, Kizzi has gone her own way and Tenza (the DJ) and Emma (the singer) are recruiting a replacement. But Fya is still burning hot! and pronounced as FAYA... .. As a youthful threesome, they were signed to Def Jam (UK) and released their first introductory tune in November 2003. Boops was a cover of Sly and Robbie that neatly highlighted their ability to flip from a pop style to a dancehall style. It was followed by further singles, 'Must Be Love which was in the UKs top 20 ' and 'Too Hot', both in 2004, and the album 'For Your Attention' in early 2005, which reached gold status after being released in Japan... .. The album established their reality dancehall credentials because it featured the mighty Bounty Killer and UK dancehall phenomenon Sun Cycle Crew. Producers included the top Jamaican-based producer Jazzwad and Skatta. .. Emma and Tenza know who their music idols are: "we'd much rather hear Elephant Man, Bounty Killer or Lady Saw. They're energy levels are closer to us.".. .. And, because the girls write most of their own material, Tenza says "We enjoy the process of constructing the songs almost as much as performing them. One of us will come with a punchline then we all go away and come up with our parts, bring something different to the song, bounce ideas of each other. We usually start the concepts without a riddim but if we hear a riddim's hot and pumping then that can sometimes inspire us to find a chorus or topic." .. .. Working on the new album has been the highlight of the year for the girls so much of a highlight that they flew to Jamaica to work with some of the hottest producers there is out there. Luckily they also had the chance to vibe and work with some of the biggest names in dancehall including Ward 21, Voicemail, Flava,chico,itallis and so much more. Emma says Travelling all the way to Jamaica to make an album has been very exciting as well as being a wicked experience simply because Jamaica is the root of where our musics coming from, Tenza interjects I always used to tell Emma we needed to go to Jamaica because the atmosphere is more realistic and inspirational towards lyric writing due to the fact that things that happen out there are real and you get to experience them first hand, It was also a good move because the musical vibe takes you to a higher level... .. What can we expect from the new album?? .. .. Well the girls have got it all figured out as the album beholds a more mature sound and a wider range of topics with songs such as Time to wake up, a message to girls in abusive relationships letting them know that it doesnt only affect them but also affects their kids. Theres also been a strong production team that have been working on this long awaited album including big names such as Danny Champagne, Danny has produced some of the household names in dancehall such as the big hit by Voicemail Weddy Time and Angel with Downtown Girl . He has also produced for Assasin, Bounty Killa and many more... .. Its has been a world wind of events but the girls are ready and raring, to promote the new up coming album, titled: READY BACK AGAIN. So watch for the faya hotta than ever..... .. .... ...... .. .. ...... .. .... .. .. .. ...... .... ....
