Featuring LIVE Performances from:
WAYNA
(2009 Grammy Nominee - Urban Alternative)
What a year it has been for Ethiopian-born singer/songwriter Wayna. Her single “Moonlight Rendezvous” from the LP Higher Ground
charted the Billboards for seven consecutive weeks, peaking at #3 on
the Hot R&B Singles chart and #12 on Billboard's Hot 100. The
follow-up single, “My Love” an impassioned plea to the loved ones of
abused women, spent six consecutive weeks on Billboard, peaking at #2
on the Hot R&B Singles chart and #12 on the Hot 100. Under her
record label, Keradion Music Group, Wayna closed out the year by
garnering a coveted Grammy nomination in the Best Urban/Alternative
Performance Category for her remake, “Lovin You (Music) featuring
Kokayi” in a category populated by such talents as Chrisette Michele,
Janelle Monae, and Will.I.Am.
With her sophomore effort, Higher Ground, Wayna indeed
reaches new and daring heights, experimenting with broken beat and
progressive hip hop, while remaining true to her roots in classic soul
and contemporary R&B. Featuring performances from underground
standouts Kenn Starr, Muhsinah, and Kokayi, and production from
longtime collaborators Kev Brown and RoddyRod, Higher Ground offers a thrilling blend of infectious melodies, colorful lyrics, and dirty drums.
Collette
Collette is an r&b/soul singer from South Carolina whose jazzy
vocals and hip-hop sensibility combine for an exciting debut entitled
“Experience Collette” available now. The entirely self-written and
partially self-produced CD project is an honest offering from a young,
sincere singer. With tracks such as “Live Your Life” and the single
“You Don’t Know,” Collette writes of real life experiences with an
overall positive outlook on life. The product of a gospel singing
mother, Collette bares her soul with each performance.
Resident DJs Destroyer & Myxzlplix will be spinning a selection of future soul, organic hip-hop and electronic beats!
