/ RnB, USA (posted in Danish 2011 Nov. 14th)
Here is a fairly new R&B / soul artist + singer / songwriter / producer from Columbia (South Carolina). Her name is Collette Blakeney. And she sings fabulous.
Collette played the saxophone and the piano as a child. As a teenager she began to sing, probably inspired by her mother, who sang gospel. She sang in a choir for several years until she finally was ready to sing on her own.
Above: Material Star (ft. Akil Dasan).
Collette has many talents, both music wise and others. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in media production in 2004 with a minor in Japanese language and culture and she owns / runs a PR- and communications-company in New York.
She gets good reviews ... both live and on the debut CD (Experience Collette - 2008). This year she released Coco By Request - her next album, which was well received.
Above: Good Morning Heartache (Live In Chicago).
Collette was nominated for the title "Female Vocalist of the Year" by "The Soul Tracks Readers' Choice Award". In 2010 she won The John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
