Background History:Nedara’s music career started at a very young age with a background of full classical training from the age of five leading to many years of hard work and achievements. A true performing artist, Nedara dedicated her life to singing, performing composing and writing, going from performing across the UK in musicals, youth orchestras, concerts and theaters to performing in various arenas, clubs and festivals.Nedara’s underlying childhood dream always was to become a singer and perform around the world. It is with these aspirations that she began writing and recording her own songs, developing and growing as a singer-songwriter in the process.Then, after creating a buzz in the UK, Nedara was quickly brought over to the US to work on music projects and record her demo. Once in LA, Nedara began writing with different artists through various producers she was working with and gained writing and singing credits in the process.One of the first album’s she was involved in (2 tracks, one used as promotional single) assisted in elevating the Artist, west coast rapper C-Bo onto the Billboard Top 200 and RnB top 40, in the album’s first week of release. This helped build a track record for Nedara and create interest in her work as a writer.With requests from Disney, to Dance music labels and more to hire Nedara as a staff writer for their artist’s albums, Nedara managed to seal status in America as an Extraordinary Singer-Songwriter. Notably, many major International Groups supported Nedara’s talents and importance in music, from worldwide number one selling Hip Hop magazine “The Source†to the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) group.
*Consequently, in a such a short period of time Nedara has gone onto work with an mpressive line of key Industry figures. Super Producers from Mark Sparks, (Grammy award winning multi-platinum writer and producer of major groundbreakers such as Brandy, Tupac Shakur, Will Smith, Mya, Bobby Brown, Anthony Hamilton etc) Barry B (Major UK R&B/Pop Producer of International UK Pop acts such as Sugababes, The Lighthouse Family, The Sound Of Blackness and many more), Joshua Thompson (Alicia Keys and her debut breakout single "Girlfriend", R&B sensation Joe, G-Unit's Olivia etc) Static Major (the recently passed A-list producer, RIP, of many stars from the late Aaliyah to Destiny's Child, Ginuwine, Lil Wayne and so forth), The Aftermath Records production camp and Thayod Ausar (Multi-platinum producer of G-Unit, Lloyd Banks, Xzibit etc) to name a few.Writers have included Global Hitmakers, Kenny Hirsch (Celine Dion, Ray Charles, Barbara Streisand etc) and Grammy winner, Marty Sharron (Anita Baker, Chaka Khan, Celine Dion with the biggest hit she wrote, "Titanic", Barbara Streisand, Josh Groban, The Pointer Sisters, Phil Collins etc).*What is her signature music style? What kind of Artist is she?Nedara has a musical style fusing RnB, Soul, Jazz, Alternative and Pop with Eastern influences and Hip Hop. Nedara fits closely in the genre of RnB-Pop.Creatively involved in all of her music, from composing, producing/co-producing, instrumentation (playing the piano in her songs,) arranging and writing, Nedara’s genuine artistry clearly marks her on the map as a “Real Musician†with a total package.What is her vocal signature?Nedara’s signature is a very distinctive spine-tingling sound with an astoundingly powerful *4 1/2-octave vocal range (A2-C7).This unique technical ability is demonstrated with inconceivable use of high note falsettos (upto a staggering C7) and dramatic drops to throaty low notes in her songs (falling to a mind-boggling octave plus below the Middle C note to a rare A2.) Her exclusive mix of Soulful and Eastern runs, set the pace for her matchless vocal skills.Other talents and attributes? What's Next?A Multi-Dimensional entertainer, Nedara is also a very talented Actress and an Award winning Public Speaker. She has appeared in a variety of Theater roles, Public Speaking and debate forums, Concerts/shows and Musicals throughout her childhood.Nedara reaches a crossover International audience due to the unquestionable level of her Powerhouse Vocals alone. This marked with a striking Image and unparallel musical style, places Nedara firmly apart from the rest, setting the pace for a potentially permanent, long term fixture in the unstable and short lived artist market of today.The music is a fusion of urban genres and pop that draws on different cultural influences due to her childhood exposure to both East and Western cultures. From Soul, Blues, Disco and Reggae to Classical, Latin and Arabic music, Nedara has been brought up on the likes of the greatest. From Al Green to Bob Marley, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Mini Ripperton and Nina Symone to Alabena, Gypsy Kings, Santana and as far as Egyptian legend Omar kolsoum, the impact of such a wide and varied range of music is evident in her sound.From singing songs over Hip Hop beats often Eastern inspired sounds and melodies to performing big power ballads, Nedara arguably crosses all boundaries of race, age and gender due to her own mix of such a wide multitude of sounds, genres and styles.Along with her distinctive beauty (previous pageant winner, modeling experience,) Nedara’s strikingly eye-catching fashion sense perfectly shows off her inimitable style blending sexy-street looks with a strong-glam appeal, which is true to her self and the image she conveys.After the unveiling shock factor of The Voice itself, Nedara’s most intangible quality of an overwhelming Star Presence is immediately recognized. It is perhaps with her immense talent and matching light, so dazzlingly bright that ensures Nedara always stands out and shines in every crowd.Therefore, after a lifetime of preparation, Nedara is both capable and ready to capture the World's Stage and create her own, new musical standards.
