Sounds Like
I have been told i sound like Betty Davis who was married to Miles Davis. She was vocally hott and sexy so that's a compliment. I also sound like my mother legendary Northern Soul singer Ty Karim.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Karime Kendra
.
I have worked with Dj Die of Reprazent, Shawn Lee, Red Snapper, Outside, Fredrik Nyberg, Carl Ryden, Alf Borgman, Unsung Heroes, The Next Men, Virgil Howe, The Killer Meters, Krust of Reprazent, Ubiquity records, Breakin Bread, Scenario Records, Talkin Loud, The Nigo album in Japan, One phat Diva, Trunk Funk, Hospital records, Dorado records and a few more labels i can't think of.

There is probably stuff i have forgotten.
You'll also find that i was female wrestler on a syndicated television show in the USA called POWW. My wrestling name was Destiny and my tag team partner was Hot Rod Andy. It's really true!!! check me out on youtube pounding Pocohontas. Funny life eh?
Right now I front The Killer Meters. A funk band. we have some singles due out this winter on Breakin Bread records, so why don't you go on over to our myspace site or web site and have a listen. Just look in my top friends and their we are. I just went blond so don't think its a different singer. I am available to work on tunes that move me so drop me a message with details and we can hook something up. Enjoy

SOME ONE
For so long people have treated me like I’m nothing
Day in day out they would act towards me in ways that are unbearable
They degraded and undermined me
They wanted me to believe that everything in this world, including a garbage can, is more important than I am
They thought of me as someone insignificant
They did this for so long I was starting to believe it myself, until last week
What happened last week showed me that I am not a big no-body
I am someone
I will now explain in greater detail
A week ago on Tuesday I found myself a girl
Yes, I Mr. unimportant, found someone to love
She’s no street whore, trust me
She’s sophisticated in her own way you could call her unique
There is no one else like her
She is my girl, me, the one that’s so insignificant
She belongs to me, the one that people were calling a no-body
She is mine, me, me, me and not someone else
She has made me so happy that I would do anything to keep her happy too
Because she is my girl
I am someone with a girl
As pointless as I am, as undermined and degraded as I was
She chose me
She is my girl, she belongs to me
I am someone who’s in love – someone

Early Chapter (Me) No one knows what I am When you look at me What you’ll see is a black boy One with problems coming into his life from every angle possible Life is giving me nothing but problems But if this is the case for as long as I live Why I’m I still alive and breathing? What makes me tolerate the never ending problems I have? Some shit would happen Instead of running away or committing suicide I would say its okay Would you like to know why this is? Because I can fly and get away from everything around me In a place where there’s no one else around I look at my back and it looks like I once had wings I can’t stand the way I’m living But I am tolerating it because I’m waiting for my wings to grow back And when they do I will fly away from here like I did before
