FEATURING:
TwinSpirit (Little Rock Native/ Atlanta Transplant)
TwinSpirit's eclectic flavor is a tasty blend of soul & jazz, Sprinkled with a hint of funk. Her sound is organic and the pictures it paints are filled with sincerity & strength as well as vulnerabilities and human-ness. Its been coined "Hypnotic Soul" which charismatically describes her artistic expression and vocal abilities.
Since the first note was created, TwinSpirit's unique crowd capturing performance style and songwriting abilities were apparent. Originally from various parts of the US, TwinSpirit & her band of individually talented musicians all settled in Atlanta and as if by fate they were drawn together to form this collective.
TwinSpirit is a versatile artist with a wide range of abilities. She is an extraordinary vocalist with mastery in a number of musical styles ranging from Jazz to Hip-Hop. A top notch lyricist/songwriter and a skilled producer.
This artist is in regular rotation on Solar Radio, 102.8, Manchester 96.9 FM, and Amstelveen Lokaal 107.2 FM, all which are UK based radio stations. As well as Freewave 77.7 FM which is based in Fukuoka, Japan and several online radio stations & podcasts.
This young women is slowly but surely gaining attention. "TwinSpirit" was voted UK based SaveOurSoul Artist of the Year. She was also selected as a finalist in the Indie Music Awards. TwinSpirit most recently placed as a Finalist in Paris, France's Sankofa Soul Contest.
With vocals so deeply hypnotic, they penetrate to the core of the soul of the listener. Her live performances are so honest and real that many have called it "a spiritual experience".
TwinSpirit keeps her performance real with a raw edge. She sways from soulful poetic melodies to delivering deeply felt power vocals.
TwinSpirit has just released her newest musical creation. The new album, ‘My Beautiful Ugly’, consists of eight original songs from TwinSpirit, each providing an eclectic flavor which consist of a tasty blend of soul, jazz, and world flavor, Sprinkled with a hint of funk and topped off with a touch of experimental pizazz. Her sound is organic and the pictures it paints are filled with sincerity & strength as well as vulnerabilities and human-ness.
The album was recorded at Sound Resort Studio in Atlanta, GA and its creation was supported by musicians who have been associated with Tony Lindsey (Carlos Santana), Tasha LaRae (Arrested Development), Debra Killings, & Tracy Hamlin (Pieces of a Dream). It was Executive Produced by TwinSpirit & Co-Produced by Donovan 'Groov' Henderson. The project was post produced by Stellar Award Winning Engineers George Kelly & Dwayne 'DK' Kelly.
The theme of the album underlies the self discovery that TwinSpirit has undergone over recent years. 'My Beautiful Ugly' started years before this artist even joined any bands, or began collaborating as a songwriter. It arose from her journey through life. The journey we all take that brings us pain, joy, adventure, love… These experiences and emotions needed a form of expression. TwinSpirit found her vessel through music, lyric, and poetry.
For a long time these reflections had been hidden in tattered notebooks or jotted on any piece of paper she could find at the moment of inspiration. The day to share these songs with the world has now arrived.
‘My Beautiful Ugly’ reveals the stunning array of influences that have found their way into TwinSpirit’s music. With vocals so deeply hypnotic, they penetrate to the core of the soul of the listener. Her live performances are so honest and real that many have called it "a spiritual experience".
TwinSpirit keeps her performance real with a raw edge. She sways from soulful poetic melodies to delivering deeply felt power vocals.
Heart, Mind, Body, Soul, & Voice....5 Pistons of an engine firing simultaneously, a diesel energy shot that people can feel & use to celebrate their own souls.
TwinSpirit transcends genres and effortlessly blends them all into one sound. She is master of her craft. She ebbs & flows-blending to create a musical style that is uniquely their own.
TwinSpirit is not about conventions. In fact, she might rather you see both sides of a thing just so you can truly know where you stand.
Ladies & Gentlemen....
