About Me

Decided my [3rd person] biography was a little pretentious and overly professional. It also said a lot more about my music than it needed to. Plus, being a "Band Bio", it's fairly inappropriate, so i shall talk about ME!
I was born of Polish parentage in south London. They couldn't decide what to call me even after christening me and that has given me an identity complex. I've kept changing my name but have finally settled on my original, Polish, given name, Karolinka, shortened to "linka" if you can't manage all 4 syllables!
I live music, i love dancing and sometimes it feels good to write - others to watch DVDs, or cuddle or train. Yeah. Training feels so good. Beautiful when the muscles burn.
And that's it really. Hope you like what i'm letting you hear at the momet. This is gradually becoming my spoken word page, (i may also post some collabos. and random tunes i've created). For more recent stuff, check out Solusion), my fresh, soulful, gritty and slightly jazz-funky, organic music as played in a band set-up. It has its own page at www.myspace.com/solusion and then the alter-ego; more electronic and R'n'B-type stuff under my alias of That Chic at www.myspace.com/thatchic. Ummm...
What else...? I enjoy stretching, it's amazing. I try to start every morning with a Yoga session and eat really well. I love food - man, i love food... The colour green. And random interior decorating. In fact, most random things. But also very precise and definite things - like vegetarianism. But i'm anti- most of the other -isms. I try, now, to only capitilise the letter "i" at the beginning of a sentence when writing of my self; i feel it's less egotistical. Tattoos are great when they mean stuff.
Awww, please click on Solomon below, he's very friendly and likes to play with your cursor. Stroke him!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/16/2005
Band Website: www.timelessjam.com (under construction)
Band Members:

On "Breakdown" & "F.O.I." you hear Tristan Versailles of END ASYLUM on guitar & bass, Geoff Hemsley (cymbals on "B'Down"). These will be rerecorded with live drums, improved vocals and Solusion members playing, then added to the /solusion space. There are many collaborations lined up, mainly with dance, D'n'B, broken beat and hip-hop producers and i am writing closely with guitarist Tristan Versailles for his melancholy metal/folk sound - beautiful...

Currently i am working on finalising the Solusion band line-up. i need people that are passionate about music, dedicated to the cause, flexible, open to fresh/unusual ideas & patient enough to be directed - by me ;-). i'm hoping to have the album recorded and pressed by summer/autumn and be well into gigging the (Acoustic) Solusion set.

I'll be recording more of this poetry stuff, working through the backlog as soon as i can make it a priority and maybe perfoming some of it live with Solusion.

Very busy, but open to the right kind of session work and will willingly perform lead or backing vocals for studio recordings, gigs or other events (if i'm into the vibe). If you are interested in working with me, please just ask!

You are wise and a great leader. Just because you are small doesn't mean you don't have a lot of oomph behind it.
