Louisiana singer Tondrae Kemp has teamed up with Kwality Records for the release of his new 10 track album Sun Money. Splitting his time between Brooklyn & New Orleans, world traveling singer, songwriter and artist, Tondrae Kemp has grown with every new experience and city that he has visited and lived in. Once described by SoulSorts as “Classic soul for the new century,” he is now expounding on that notion by adding the potential for sounds from any genre (Blues, Reggae, Electronic, Hip-Hop) to find a way into his music. Always fresh and unhindered Tondrae’s eclectic brand of soul could take you anywhere at any moment. Look out for “Happiness” his heavily bluesy video and single online now and the full album, Sun Money, in stores now.
From singing as a sought-after side vocalist (Q-Tip, Nona Hendryx, D'Angelo, N'Dea Davenport, Crown of Thorns, Angelique Kidjo) to performing as a dynamic lead, from music journalism (VIBE Magazine, Russell Simmons' Oneworld Magazine) to online content producer (BET.com, Soulsummer.com), Sun Singleton's immersion into all things musical has lead to a distinctive receptiveness to collaboration and innovation. Her most recent work, a collection of soulful house remixes by London-based label Stilnovo Music, is available now for download at TRAXSOURCE.COM.
A seasoned performer (N'Dea Davenport, Hillary Duff, Amel Larrieux, ADM) and composer/producer (Ads for Heineken, L'Oreal, Becks, Toyota), Surya Botofasina dazzles audiences with his keyboard virtuosity and unique & soulful sound. With Alice Coltrane as his mentor and guide, and influences ranging from John Coltrane & Thelonious Monk to Public Enemy & Tupac Shakur, Surya traverses the musical spectrum, striving towards the exploration of Truth and commenting on the current social climate. Reflected in his own words... "Music. Life. Love. Family. Om."
