“Nita Fruit†….is a soulful delight. Sweet and sensual sounds with an urban twist is what you hear when listening to Nita Fruit. This experienced R & B singer is well on her way to charming America with her music. Her sound has been compared to Erykah Badu & Jill Scott just to name a few. So if you like Neo Soul, then you will absolutely love Nita Fruit.Singing at her church at the age of 5, Nita says, “I literally was raised singing in the church, and I know a lot of people say that, but it is the truth for me.†Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Nita grew up listening to 70’s and 80’s R & B and started writing lyrics and spending time in studios at the age of 14. “There isn’t any one particular artist or musician that has influenced me but more the style and sound of certain music. I can say I was inspired by old school R & B and Jazz. I do however, admire Vanessa Williams as a business woman, artist, and actress. She is so well rounded, and that’s admirableâ€, says Nita Fruit.
Nita’s self-titled freshman album which was released in 2000 was full of straight up heavy R & B. She is now done with her sophomore album titled “My Secrets Enhanced†which will show more of Nita Fruits soulful side. “I got to keep working†and “I am just getting started†is her outlook on her career. She is definitely an artist who is ready to make it no matter what. Collaborating with Oklahoma’s own Nitro and Headcrack out of Dallas on a few records, Nita is exploring what this music industry has to offer as well as offering us a little peace of mind with her sound.
Be on the look out for the release of “My Secrets Enhanced†Coming Soon in 2008
