There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost.Martha Graham

SSS was born and raised in New York City and also grew up in Maine and Philadelphia. The culture was: born to a Baptist Minister father and Dominican immigrant mother who sang together regularly at church as well as founding members of the Brooklyn Gospel Tabernacle, who’s choir is recipient of several Grammys in the Gospel category, was the fertile breeding ground in her petri dish. A small, quiet child she listened and watched the 70’s funk musicians on Sunday morning – and learned.
Fast forward to becoming a nightclub singer at the age of 15 and self-professed “terrible” songwriter and poet SSS never gave up. At the age of 38 she chose to pursue a degree in Music Technology and landed an internship at Om Records for 6 months to round out her studies. 25 years after her first attempts as a vocalist and performer she is enjoying songwriting and gaining worldwide attention for her lyrical craftiness and mellifluous vocal stylings.
SSS is a featured artist on Vibe Boutique NYC, Baysounds Records (LFB), BOBD Productions (Sweet Feet Music ) Klone (SFM), TempleSF (Jaswho).
Soul Sista Shakti is currently working on a full length album of electronic soul-pop.

"So right! Very nice chilled soundtrack - just what I needed. Well produced sound. Like the progression into the chorus, musically and in the mix...The hook is Ok, I mean it's not supposed to hit you between the eyes, it's a good relaxing track. Thanks."

Jewel has NOTHING on this one. A monster hit in the making!! This one has "hit single" written all over it, a truly satisfying pop number that will freeze you in your tracks and demand attention. Great female vocals against a cool, jazzy beat, there's little doubt this lady is a true winner. One question: where can I get this CD ... NOW!!!

LF: "LFB is about creating a love vibe through music. The music is romantic, rhythmic, and sexy. Some songs are "chill" and laidback, and some pulse with the beat and groove that can enhance any intimate moment from the lounge to the club to the bedroom."LFB's first full length album has just been written up in Acid-Jazz magazine it Italy. "Due anni per comporre nuove canzoni nei ritagli di tempo, l'arrivo della voce provacante de Soul Sista, reduce dalla collaborazione OM, la collaborazione di due musicisti di pregio, e soprattutto un progetto sonoro poliforme, che non si limita a particolari ambiente o situaziioni, ma che vuole utilizzare ritma da club che fanno muovere e divertire e insieme hanno un sottofondo carico di sensualita completano il quadro." Their first album IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR is in was released on November 2, 2007
Review of "I Was Made For Loving You" (Zadia and Leo Frappier) - ""This is definitely a dance floor rocker. The first version of this track that I heard did not focus nearly enough on Brenda "Shakti's" vocal talents. I love what producers Leo and Paul have done to blend the loop of "I Was Made For Lovin' You" and the perfect amount of harmonics to the track. Mid-way through the track, when Shakti's voice becomes crisp and clear - is essential and adds extra energy to the track overall. Beautiful!" Tamara Deike ~ Om Records

COMMENT POLICY When I receive comments I post them on my page that are actually comments even it's just to say hi. I rarely post very large marketing objects unless I find they have artistic or social value other than just an advertisement.
The premise behind universal responsiblity is that we all want the same thing. Every being wants happiness and does not want suffering. If we do not respect this fact, there will be more and more suffering on this planet. If we adopt a self-centered appraoch to life and constantly try to use others for our own self interest we may gain temporary benefits, but in the long run both personal happines (and world peace, sic) is out of the question.

Hey, Soul Sister Shakti! Lovin' your voice, too! Gorgeous! Thank you so much for finding me and sending a note. So nice to meet you. Looks like we might be on the same album one day! Can't wait! Much love and success, Nica
Thanks a lot for the compliment, Shakti. That's awesome that you used to live in Portland. Maybe you could introduce some of your DJ friends to my music. ;)
