Singer/Songwriter, Designer
.
Spicy, multi-cultural songbird is a good way 2 describe CADIA, a serious artist who feels it's time 2 put her talent squarely up front in full view of the world. CADIA was born in Jamaica, migrated with her parents 2 England, then the family moved 2 the US. Most of her formative years were spent in Miami where she developed her life-long interest in music.
Born Cadia Gritton, she became a cancer survivor by the time she was 20--of Hodgekins Lymphoma. Her life so far has helped create a strong, caring, & focused individual...all this shows in her music.
CADIA, who has degrees in both cosmetology & respiratory therapy, is a designer & maker of crochet clothing. Anything U can wear she can crochet. Some of her clients include Junior Kelly, Warrior King, & Richie Spice just 2 name a few.
She always looks very regal. The unique personality of this artiste is quite obvious the minute U C her. CADIA's personally designed hats & outfits she creates has enhanced her style & image.
R&B/Hip Hop/Reggae is how CADIA categorizes her music. She says, "It's a blend. It represents how I grew up." In fact, the mix of cultures has helped her 2 express herself musically in a mature, refreshing & scintillating way. Her music truly represents a fresh & expressive mixture. Though she always had a love & desire 2 do music she never thought it was possible until she met Mr. Homer Harris in 1999. "He believed in me B4 I believed in myself. Only an angel can do that." Mr. Harris is the man responsible 4 discovering the likes of Buju Banton, Sizzla, & Luciano just 2 name a few.
CADIA is a free spirit who says, "I want 2 use my music 2 make a difference in the world." With her potpourri of melodies & sweet soothing sound, many will C that this empress is diva bound!
