AMRICK CHANNA - SOULFUL/FUNKY HOUSE MUSIC VOCALIST

About Me

London/Kent based, Amrick Channa, is a Vocalist and Topline writer in the Soulful/Funky House music field. His unique and distinctive soulful powerhouse style of singing is courtesy of the various divas he grew up listening to whether its disco or vocal house. A huge influence on his powerhouse singing is his mentor Lisa "Bad Habit" Millett! Amrick has recently returned from the Miami winter conference '07 where he successfully performed to huge audiences in South Beach at Barbara Tucker's party amongst many others. He also hosted parties & was interviewed for Miami Fashion Week TV which will be broadcast all across Latin American territories on regular rotation!
Amrick has records signed for release on labels in the USA, UK & Europe. Recently confirmed is his track with the Cookie Monsterz, which is featured on the Ministry of Sound compilation CD - Stereo Sushi Vol.10 out in April 2007. Amrick's collaboration with Italy's Black Legend/Jackie Reverse on the track "In the heat of the night" made it onto Pete Tong's Essential Selection on BBC Radio One. That track along with Hindu Summer were broadcast on Kiss FM amongst others and were hits all across Europe!
Amrick enjoyed new found success in the UK & European dance charts with his hit "Hindu Summer" which was his collaboration with Manchester's Jason Herd (of Herd & Fitz). Other collaborations followed with who's who of House music royalty from Italy's Black Legend/J-Reverse, US DJ Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), London's DJD Hydraulic Dogs (Shake it baby), Breakbeat maestro's Deekline & Wizard. Whilst forthcoming projects include collaborations with the legendary Sandy Rivera (Kings of Tomorrow/Defected), Pete Heller, LAY Records boss DJ Dealer and Paris DJ Kid Massive amongst many others!
Amrick has performed at the Miami Dance Music Conference (2006), courtesy of The Supperclub, London's Ministry of Sound (Soul Heaven), Cafe de Paris, The White House, The AKA bar, The Tabernacle and Camden's Electric Ballroom to name but a few. Forthcoming gigs include Miami 2008, Ibiza, Italy, Paris and London.
Amrick has also had the unusual honour of having two of his tracks featured in the Toryumon Japanese ringtone download charts!!! These tracks were collaborations with Berkshire based production duo Beatgem.
