BEHIND THE SCENES OF MAKING THE VIDEO FUCK AZIPREVIEW OF SBY'S VIDEO CLIP FUCK AZICarmen Keen was born in Germany, as the only daughter of a Nigerian mother and a Polish father, later growing up with her daddy and her stepmom (Polish) near Cologne (Dueren). Her mother left when she was 6 years old for no reason but she still keeps representing her Nigerian roots. While having a flash-back at her life, one realizes that Carmen used to sing since she was a baby and that singing always was one way to express herself and became more important to her as she grew up between the music of Fela Kuti, Sade, Donnie Hathaway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Lucky Dube, Bob Marley and more...later on also much impressed by French African Music. She always used to sing whether it was at home in front of a mirror, at her piano or at any occasional performing possibilities. At the age of 5 she started playing piano, stopped after a couple of years and dedicated herself more to the transverse flute for about 6 years but not neglecting her piano. Thus she continued more efficiently with her piano after completing her flute training. She started writing her own lyrics (songs, poems, texts etc..(mostly shaped or characterized by her hard past life and experiences) when she was 12 years old and loved to perform and sing in front of an audience whenever possible. She already had collaborations with several underground artists from France, New York, Frankfurt, Cologne...most of all for chorusing and participating more at their performances - but now on the way to do her own thing.. Right now she's up to absolve her foreign-language correspondant apprenticeship "just if this music thing wouldn't work", as she says and supports lonngtime friend lady-rapper Canan Kara on her performances. For her it's very important to keep her realness in her music and her expressiveness. She claims:"I have my personal aim, so I never stop to pursue it as long as I'm able to move something. My dear Mama influenced me, beside three other dear people in my life, the most. Therefore I'd like to dedicate most of my succedings to them; to make 'em happy and proud because of things I succeeded in on my own." Shortly ago Carmen Keen sat together with Canan Kara and Tekken Bugatti and tried something new by singing the first time on a German song..... MORE SONGS COMING SOON....WATCH OUT;)
