ABOUT SADE SERENA
Soulful, sultry singing sensation
Sade Serena is poised to take the pop world by storm. Birthed on September 27
to Jamaican immigrant parents, the Miami-born and bred starlet's foray into
music is inevitable, as she exhibits sheer unbridled talent framed with
gorgeous looks, destined to make her a force to be reckoned with in pop music.
Sade Serena fatefully entered the
rhythmic realm at the tender age of 12, recording a demo with a family friend
named Rhovan, after receiving much encouragement to sing for years. "Lo
Tienes (You Got What I Want)" was the name of the faithful track, and
although the song was never officially released as a single, it granted Sade
Serena invaluable recording experience, along with her first taste of lyrical
liberation. "We performed that song for summertime jams and open-call
talent shows, and received a lot of love from audiences," reveals Sade
Serena. "We were like the mini Ja Rule and Ashanti."
At the impressionable age of 14,
Sade signed up for choral classes and the rest is history. Starting out as a
soprano was first challenging for her but with regular practice and
performances, she began to develop into the songbird she is today. "I
began performing at school concerts for Christmas, Black History Month and
Valentines's Day, all for fundraising," she discloses. "The concerts
allowed us to compete in state and regional competitions, and gave me taste of
what I dreamed of doing for the rest of my life."
By age 17, Sade Serena was
earning her stripes as a background singer, performing in renowned Miami music
venues like the House of Blues and the American Airlines Arena. "As my
hunger grew for my own spotlight, I started singing lead vocals for local bands
at lounges such as Mangos in South Beach, and even in hotel lobbies like The
Ritz Carlton."
Maturing over the years into a
seasoned singer and songwriter, Sade Serena makes music that flows from her
soul. Her lyrics showcase her exuberance, intelligence and charm, as she shares
a relatable narrative of pursuing her dreams, along with her everyday life experiences.
"My music captures those moments in your mind that make you feel happy and
confident in the real you. I want to be a storyteller and spread love with my
music. I also want to be teacher and share my lessons with my listeners."
Her musical styling is a fusion
of Pop and R&B, and she is greatly influenced by her father, who was
himself an aspiring artist, and mother, who Sade says never fails to let the
world know her daughter is a star. Her other inspirations include musical luminaries
Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Gwen Stefani, Beyonce and Lady Gaga, all of
whom captured the ears of this auspicious artist and contribute to her
melodious pop sound. "I want to be currently retro, in that, I like
incorporating my love for old school music, which I grew up listening to, with
music that I listen to today."
Now under the management of
Uprize Music, Sade Serena emerges with her first single "Tonight," a
sizzling pop-dance offering that debuted worldwide in February 2013, from Def Jam
Digital Distribution. The video was shot on location in Miami and released to
the masses in early March, thereby kicking off the year on some very high notes
for this rising star.
As she embarks on this burgeoning
musical journey and casts the stones for her legacy, Sade Serene continues to
finesse her skills needed to carve a niche for her gifted talents, in today's
competitive music industry. "I want to stay on top of what inspires me as
an artist and as a human being, and strive to be an overall performer and
entertainer, true to the definition. I also want to be a fashion icon, not just
selling fashion but setting cool, hip and fun trends. But most importantly, I
want to be an example of what hard work, hunger, and faith can get you."
Sade is proving to be a dynamic
entertainer with her relentless work ethic and boundless creativity, which will
undoubtedly propel her to the forefront of music's fast lane. Indeed, this pop
princess is paving her way, with each beat and lyric, to her very own throne.
King Addies Prepares to Tour...
The goal of these select appearances is to reintroduce King Addies to their diehard fanbase and also to spark the interest of today's young Dancehall lovers. King Addies touching the road with Mighty Crown is just a taste of what is to come in the future.
Currently, Irish and Chin is in the middle of making plans for King Addies to tour on their own. There is great anticipation for this tour, which will consist of both juggling and high profile events. The first stop will be Europe.
"The marketing plan for King Addies is not one to be rushed. By no means are we aiming to create an overnight buzz for King Addies," says Garfield "Chin" Bourne, King Addies manager. "Rather, we seek to execute a marketing strategy that will allow longevity, prosperity and global visibility. Doing so will take time and consistent efforts of the whole team."
One of the most unique things about King Addies is that their legacy attracts fans of all ages. While the newer members familiarize the younger generation with the King Addies brand, legendary selector and member Danny Dread will uphold and entertain the sound's foundation audience. One can also look forward to seeing Danny Dread touring on the King Addies sound 'rub-a-dub' style .
Stylez Feat Jr Pinchers, Ding Dong Rave All Night
Produced by Stylez and co-producer Blahzae, one would never expect this fresh party anthem was inspired by Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds”.
