The trade routes that link the East-Coast of Africa to the Arabian Peninsula and to Europe represent a cross-fertilization of cultures and a metaphor for the multi-faceted singer and songwriter, Miriam Chemmoss. Miriam was raised in a potent brew of East-African, Middle-Eastern, and European cultures. She spent her formative years between Kenya, Tanzania, Europe and now the US where she came to college in the late 90's. Miriam received classical training in music, and performed at solo and choral competitions as a youth; helping her develop into the disciplined artist she is today.
In 2004, Miriam moved to New York City where she would develop her performance skills more as a member of “the Marvalletes Revue” under the direction of original Marvallete, Pam Darden, in a revival of the famous Motown girl group. A year later, she joined the legendary “Soukous Stars” band; experts at Congolese Rumba (Zaiko) (And winners of the 2004 International Reggae and World Music Awards). She carved out a role among the male veterans as the sole female voice on both harmony and lead vocals.
In late 2006, she recorded her first commercial single “RUDI”. A Swahili love anthem which literally means, “come back”, “RUDI” is an enchanting classic and has been on top of the charts and countdowns of several radio stations in urban markets all over the world: BBC Radio(UK), SARFM (New York), VOICE OF AMERICA (Washington, DC), Hot 96 FM, KISS FM, CAPITOL FM (KENYA), SANYU FM (Uganda), GHANA CHOICE FM, amongst others. Her vibrant presence and star quality is evident on the video of the international hit “RUDI”. The video has been in rotation on MTV Base, EATV as well as many local and international TV stations since early 2007.
As a result of the buzz from her single release; Miriam has been featured in several publications in the US and overseas. She has been called "The Queen of African Urban Music"- (Vibe Magazine, Sept 2007) and has received great reviews for her work from many other publications. When asked where she gets her inspiration, Miriam mentions her own life experiences as well as African singers as her namesake Miriam Makeba, Sade, Tshala Mwana, Angelique Kidjo, Brenda Fassie amongst other influences.
As a performer, Miriam brings an eccentric and sultry stage presence. Her music beautifully blends; Afro-funk, Reggae, R&B, Hip-Hop, Soul, Rumba and Zouk- giving her a wide musical audience. Her self-expression as well as her rich cultural background is a breath of fresh air, much needed in the evolving music industry of today.
Miriam Chemmoss is currently hitting the road, sharing her music and supporting a range of causes she is passionate about; such as the plight of AIDS orphans in AFRICA, Quality EDUCATION, PEACE and HOPE for those affected by war and other disasters. When she is not performing she is in the studio completing her debut album.

Would you send a kiss to save the world To keep someone, maybe you, from dying in it?
Would you send a kiss To save your favorite girl?
What would you kiss that you would put on this list?
We all think we know what we are fighting for Until something hurts us Then generations later Still asking ourselves Was it worth it Seem to go through the same thing We can wake up from a bad dream With screams Or when we reach for a kiss For that we open our eyes And say I want more of this And we go through that day Longing for that kiss Could you imagine saving the world With a simple kiss list?
I kiss my pen And it bleeds So that maybe We wont be leaves Blown away In a win-less storm
I kiss my friend's bliss And they say they love me Year after year of this Loyalty Inspired by spirit kiss
Would you send a kiss to save your favorite video game?
You name What would make you aim your lips And send a kiss
Hendrix kissed the sky Would you kiss the child in you You hide the cries And truly say I'll be OK Today I'll make myself my own baby And kiss me bliss 'Til no pain can stay
And once I'm entrenched In the practice of this I'll see clearly What I love And put that on my kiss list
I once blew a kiss to hate And watched hate become confused And wait
What is on your wish list? That you consent to bliss kiss? A kiss for your business? For your dreams? For your favorite sports team? Sports hero? Your favorite car? I'm blowing you a bliss kiss So maybe you'll put something On your wish list Hoping maybe we'll build up enough bliss To offset all war With a simple kiss
Call me a fool But some things are worth writing for
A poem from "The Artist's War" by Ronnie Lee Daise

Beauty Call…………………… I nicknamed her my beauty call cause she'd do it all from the rolling of my els to the midnight calls with all my issues I be her tissue when she chooses to rain down on me calmly I warm the sheets And how we talk things into existence the family that prays together wishes themselves out of conditions that's felt ever so vicious while some fantasize, I realize the beauty I have e'rytime I try to disguise she reflects why all my doings are few and ever so chosen frozen is ruined when you think of the night capped movements do I ring her? or simply bring her my words of wisdom processed and extended by a hug and some friendship my beauty call truly y'all could never understand the transitioning of what it is to grow into a man flow and not expand and for sure I do my damn thing can we all get along to our own beauty calls....
