BIO
Meet Baton Rouge's Lady Royale and her rapping alter ego Miss Laweszeyana.
Like many great R&B vocalists, Lady Royale grew up singing in church - something she has done since the age of three. That, coupled with the fact that she is niece to famous New Orleans Blues singer Ernie Kador, means that music is in her blood. It is what she has always wanted to do.
The harder-edged, MC side of Lady Royale came about later in life and perhaps as a result of the constant fights the darker color of her skin threw her into growing up. She had to be tough..........
Lady Royale's vocal stylings are a mixture of gospel greats like Mahalia Jackson and Shirley Caesar to whom she was always compared, and secular songstresses like Aretha Franklin and Mary J. Blige, whom she was not encouraged to listen to, but grew up studying and admiring. Her rap persona takes on the confidence and swagger of TI and the animation of Ludacris.
The result is her debut album, TraxWorld: Volume 1 which features platinum MC Mike Jones, Houston street legend Lil Keke and of course her own emceeing skills as Miss Laweszeyana.
The first single, "Do You Like" ft. Lil Keke is the perfect, soulful showcase for how well Lady Royale has studied those female vocalists that paved the way before her, rounded out by that Houston street lyricism for which Lil Keke is known so well; the perfect blend of what the Gulf Coast region brings to the table.
