About Me

http://www.snapvine.com/signup/start?key=dialup My name is Nonya. I'm a PLAIN JANE and usually not seen BUT definitely heard! I was raised up listening to some of the best. (Stevie Wonder,Patti Labelle, The Clark sisters, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Chaka Khan, Al Green, Gladys Knight and countless other vocalists). I love to do R&B fused with a Hip Hop influence. But I prefer REAL lyricists such as Rakim, KRS, Definitley Jadakiss, Scarface and so many more that I can't even begin to list them all. I am compared to many vocalists. And that is a compliment beecause it tells me that others recognize that I am versatile. And that's important in the game. I have been compared to Lauren hill(Mabye because I have choppy runs), Mary J. Blige(for the REALNESS that my songs exute), Faith Evans(Got that soul 4 ya), and some of the singers that set the foundation like Gladys Knight.(For my range, harmonies, and soul). I have a broad range of diferent styles because I was exposed to all kinds of music growing up. And there was no bigger influence than the church. It's important never to forget your foundation. I'll sing on hip hop tracks, R&B, Neo Soul, Jazz, or anything that just sounds good.AND feels good. But I definetly love a gritty grimey NY track to blow on. But don't get me wrong dirty south, I'll show yall love to .. width="425" height="355"

My Interests

I go to all different places just to exercise my vocals. Anyplace I can get my hands on locally. Whether it be open mic, karaoke, or just vibin with musicians. I am interested in learning how to produce. I have an ear for ,Bass, strings, and chords. HEAVY drum kicks!!!Another interest is to eat different foods. I love to eat(can't tell by looking at me) But I love to get with people who are not afraid to eat. Eating some good food will make ya smile !!! Word up!!

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet Jadakiss, DMX, and Mary J. Blige. They are definitley respected by me.(Not to mention they are all from around my way) It goes to show you that you don't have to be from the BOUROUGHS to be THOROUGH. But all of NY gets love from me. I want to be the first female to put Peekskill, NY on the map. And I will keep working until I do. And when I do, I need all three of yall to collabo with me on something HOT!!! Something that the people can feel!

Heroes:

My hero is the lord. All my life I suffered hardships but he always got me through!!!! Sometimes I think about how things could have been worse. I didn't end up dead on these streets, I survived the crack era, having to be a young, black, single mother, survived being put in girls' group homes without my mind being messed up, survived not having either parent in my life, Survived having no good relationships,AND I STILL HAVE A SONG TO SING!!!!! Who else could that be but God!!!!! Along with my STRONG grandmother who had to put up with my S4%#!!!! And still to this day she supports me!!!!!
