Lincoln Jean-Marie.....Singer/Songwriter and Producer.Born and raised in East London, my first musical impressions were shaped by my immediate surroundings. Jazz and Classical from my mother, Soul and Reggae from my older brother and straight up Pop from my sister. It was a melting pot of musical styles that shook me from such a young age, I swear I could almost taste it! I began to write songs properly at the age of fourteen. I would also listen to the Beach Boys and other harmony based groups for hours on end. There were artists such as Donny Hathaway, E.W.F, Roy Ayers, Bob Marley, Gershwin, Louis Amstrong, Steely Dan, Chaka Khan, Cameo, Zapp, Run DMC, Soul 2 soul, Sade, Loose Ends, Guy, Jodeci, Boys 2 Men and later the likes of D’Angelo, Jill Scott and the Roots whose music shaped my understanding of songs and their structure. I was always doing impressions too (which later came in quite handy for my voiceover work). I have over twelve years working experience as an arranger of both lead and backing vocals. I have a four octave range (tenor). I was also a member of four piece of acapella group called PEACE by PEACE who were signed to WARNERS, released two U.K singles, won best newcomers at the MOBO Awards and received relative acclaim on urban American radio stations with their style of harmonizing over fresh U.K beats.TOURING/ TELEVISION, Backing vocalist in Craig David’s band, touring the U.K., mainland Europe, the U.S.A. and the rest of the world.
