Singer/Dancer/Model and Clothing Designer. Original, Sexy & Captivating "NUBIA" AKA "LA PRINCESA DEL FUNK" has been taking over the music industry like a hurricane. Her captivating beauty and unique style have made her a force to reckon with. Born in Bayamo, Cuba, she started performing at the age of seven , hard work and dedication won her a scholarship at the National School of Arts (ENA) in Havana. Seven years ago while still living in Havana, she was chosen as one of the members of the "Havana Night Club Show" where she toured the world and made headlines in November 2005 when more than 50 members defected in las Vegas, creating the largest mass defection in the history of the US. As a singer and dancer for the show her face was featured in 10 billboards and 60 taxis troughout the city. Nubia's life story is filled with international intrigue and a constant quest for freedom and respect. After escaping from Cuba and living in America for almost a year, she realized freedom was not given in silver plates. The owner of the show and the mastermind behind their escape started using the same type of techniques developed in communist Cuba to control their lives. "She continuosly told us how much we owed her for helping us to escape and assured us that we will never make it in America without her. According to her we had two strikes against us for being "Blacks and Latinos. She reminded me so much of how Castro claims that Cuba is the only country where racism has been eliminated eventhough Blacks are still considered second class citizens, so they are in debt with his revolution and therefore have not other choice but to worship him as their savior. Freedom has a price."said Nubia". It was so obvious she had just traded slave masters so she left the show to take control of her own destiny and started her career as a solo singer . "CUBA is an island in the caribbean where the majority of the population is black or mixed but unfortunately is still controlled by a white minority elite of spanish descent who has ruled the island for centuries creating one of the poorest and most racist country in the western hemisphere". "CUBA is the only country where rap music is banned from television, radio and nightclubs, it only exists underground. Young black cubans are using HIP-HOP to question the white establishment so the most outspokens are censored or thrown in jail. They are Cuba's new revolutionaries. When you are born in Cuba you are taught from a very young age that blacks are inferior, you have been cursed. However once you live in America you become aware of the gift that has been given to you by your african ancestors and how people of african descent have shaped up the cultural idenity of the island so you start feeling very proud of your african heritage", "explained Nubia". Nowadays Nubia still lives in las Vegas and is working on her first album "MANUMISSION" where she is featuring some famous artists like the legendary "GEORGE CLINTON" the forefather of funk and "CUBAN LINK". Now you can see her new video "BLACK EDUCATION" featuring George Clinton here in this page NUBIA IS AVAILABLE FOR PRINT MODELING, HOSTING, SPOKES MODELING, TV, RADIO, FILM, PERSONAL APPEARANCES, COMMERCIALS, PROMOTIONAL EVENTS, SINGING, AND MUSIC PRODUCTION.
