Remember the days when artists truly sang sans the vocal tricks and studio manipulation? Remember hearing songs filled with heart felt words from beginning to end? Remember when artists were able to perform with such stage presence that seemingly invited the audience into the world of the artist? These days are upon us again and the leader of this resurrection is Lydia Caesar. Not your typical R&B bombshell, Lydia’s soulful yet edgy vocal ability and sultry voice are a force not to be reckoned with. A lover of many different genres of music, Lydia was introduced to rock music early on in her life. With this influence, Lydia and her producer MotesArt have created a fusion of Rock and R&B which they call "Rock&B" Born and raised in Hollis, Queens as one of four children to a Jamaican mother and a father with St. Lucian roots, Lydia’s strong, musical church-going family consequently lead her to singing. “Music is a way of life, it’s in me and I can’t help it so that’s why it means so much; I write what I live.”
At the tender age of four, Lydia was singing in front of hundreds of people at the Bethel Gospel Tabernacle church; which was founded by her grandfather and her father currently serves as bishop. “God blessed me with a gift, and now it’s my time to turn around and bless the world.” Gospel, R&B, Rock, and Pop are the genres that heavily influenced Lydia's informative years in music. Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Andre Crouch, Aerosmith and Whitney Houston are some of the greats that inspired her. And today’s generation of artists like Maroon 5, Avril Levigne, Mary J Blige, and John Mayer now inspire Lydia’s desire to not only sing, but to perform. Once in high school, 16 year old Lydia was writing, directing, and starring in musical theatre shows, but it was a few years later that marked the turning point in Lydia’s career. Out of roughly 10,000 people, Lydia was one of the final 15 singers who auditioned for the first season of P. Diddy’s Making the Band 2 on MTV. “It was at this point when I decided to start writing my own music at the suggestion of people working on the show. I became inspired at how far that I had made it so I bought a notebook and began to write.”
“Loves Bell” one of Lydia’s favorite self-penned songs and a meaningful tribute to peace in this world, expresses how she hears love's bell ringing, over a Rock&B track produced by MotesArt. Lydia’s star power has garnered the crown of several New York City showcases, including Faces in the Crowd 2006 best of the best winner, the recognition of Vibe.com for her answer to Musiq Soulchild’s “Buddy,” and a 2007 Underground Music Award for best R&B female. Lydia just returned, earlier this year from one month overseas in Morocco, where she was booked to perform every night by one of the leading Moroccan Promoters. Now in 2008 Lydia has completed her first full-length work. Her Debut album is filled with songs that sound different, and just make you feel good. She just shot her first video for one of her favorite songs on the album called “puzzle” Soulful vocals, over rock guitar riffs, this LP breaks the typical mold of one genre, and explores that of R&B, soul, rock and even pop. Lydia also joined forces with the Beatbanggahz who produced 2 songs on her LP. Her team is prepping for fall release. “I want people to hear my music and say ‘wow, I’ve gone through that or I feel like that’… people relating to the music is key.”
Although highly focused on her music, Lydia is also headed towards her BA in Theatre at Hofstra University having already made huge impressions in Hamlet and The Birds off Broadway. Not just a double threat, Ms. Caesar’s vibrant, neck-turning sense of style effortlessly gels vintage with Vogue’s latest. She is often seen wearing her own line of accessories, CaesarWest Designs and never with the same hairstyle twice. Possessing a personality that reflects her appearance, Lydia has the ability to sustain career longevity in a fickle entertainment industry. “Everyone has a purpose, everybody has a time, and I believe that mine is coming soon. Rock &B is a movement, I believe in it, its real music and real music goes a very long way” Daughter, sister, mother, singer, writer, actress, designer, soul flower…introducing Lydia Caesar.
