capable and imaginative musician with a beautiful soul voice..."

create his own style and look."..."His lyrical content packs
few familiar punches."

buy 'my name is Rasalus' @ KAWO-MUSIC... like NOW!
As a boy he learned to sing by
listening to birds and went on as soloist in a Black Baptist church
choir- a rebellious act for the son of African-American Muslim
parents. As a teenager visiting the island of St.Thomas, Rasalus sang
karaoke one evening. The next morning, the whole island knew his
name. Rasalus made his home in New York City's East Village,
before it was gentrified, and has a devoted following there.
Vocally he is the heir royal to Arethra Franklin and Stevie Wonder.
His lyrics have been described as pre-Motherhood Sinead,( ...you
watch us wither into tear stains, you say that when we're gone, you
will remain... ), and as a black Bob Dylan. His sound is best
described as pop music with equal parts rock, hip-hop and electro.
He has performed with the likes of Vernon Reid and The Roots, and
with Lauryn Hil under the name Rachid. His fans include Christina Aguilera, India Arie
and Maxwell, as well as producers Dallas Austin and Clark Kent. Universal records unofficially released a limited number of copies of his debut album 'Prototype' to western media.
Through press release and DJ play alone, his recording of Serge
Gainsbourg's Requiem Pour Un Con, (-Requiem For A Jerk-),
sung in French, became a huge underground hit. To have been
granted permission by the Gainsbourg estate to sing the song is a
rare, seldom granted honor in itself. His performance on Italy's most
watched TV show 'Quelle Che', followed Elton John's. His name
was on lips and magazine covers throughout the country. Rasalus's
name refers to one of the fixed stars in his astrological birth chart,
which translated means: Lion's Roar. It is found in the natal charts
of the greatest voices. Rasalus tastefully uses every note in his 4 octave range.
Rasalus's favorite singers are Arethra Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Whitney Houston, Maria Callas, and
gospel singer Karen Clark. He also loves Indian food and the melismas
of India's traditional music.
Rasalus's look is known to make heads turn, due to his exotic
features and his cool yet singular fashion sense. Rasalus would like
for to people know that he serves them through his music. If Tina Turner, David Bowie and Aretha Franklin cloned a child, it would be Rasalus. If Rasalus is ever performing in your vicinity, run, don't walk, to see his live show! It will be one of the most memorable events of your precious life. You too will understand why so many root for Rasalus! Come one, come all to watch this PHOENIX RISE FROM THE ASHES!
P.S. "MY NAME IS RASALUS" is available on Kawomusic, "PROTOTYPE" is available on itunes and amazon.com! allow me to PENETRATE ur EARHOLES.
The new video interview is incredible. What a great insight into the magic that is Rasalus. I don't care what your name is or what music you release - Rachid or Rasalus, R&B/Soul or Pop/Rock - at the end of the day, I am not as bothered with the vehicle as the person driving it. And the person driving is beautiful with an angelic voice. Authentic, real and ever so pure! We love you, Mr Lion's Roar!
