Her rhythm goes on.

Zuri is a multi-talented artist, she's done voice over work, she paints and sculpts, she's a natural hair stylist, fashion designer, she has her own line of motivational tanks and tees (Zuriology Designs With You In Mind) she's a song writer, musician, and she's worked for various artist's such as:
Michael Bolton, Chaka Khan, Brenton Wood and Vesta,

Zuri..s time to step to the forefront has come. Her debut CD is on Rasiah Records:
Rich Cason this CD wouldn't be if there had been no you or us.
Your music is forever just as your spirit. RIP
A Woman's Perspective
Its no surprise how diverse and eclectic her writing and background credits are having worked and recorded with artists from third world countries as well. When she..s inspired to write music she..s at her keyboard, she even plays percussion.
Zuri has written for some of the true soul veterans of the business such as Johnnie Taylor, Shirley Brown, Lattimore, King Floyd. Her voice is heard on several Jimmy Lewis productions. She..s written and sang on several soon to be released projects by Floyd Taylor, and Chuck Strong.
Zuri sang all background harmonies on the now classic "Soul Heaven" by the late great Johnnie Taylor and penned the single "Too close for comfort" off of the 2001 Grammy nominated album, "Gotta get the groove back" also by Johnnie Taylor. Floyd Taylor son of Johnnie Taylor and Zuri had a number one duet on the Southern Soul charts written by Rich Cason and Zuri
In today..s arena of one hit wonders and overnight sensations, it..s refreshing to see and hear an artist who reflects such diversity musically.
