I feel something exciting in the air & I hope you will be there when the tide turns...I am now using my alias Aruba Red and a limited edition of my debut album will be released soon.
I wish the revolution would finally come...with words of wisdom and not with guns. I pick up my mic cos it’s my weapon, I’ll take my pen and go to war, I’ll pick up my mic cos it’s my weapon ~ they say Eleonoré what are you fighting for? I say freedom should not have these limitations...so why are you willing to settle for less than more?
Some Biog stuff if you’re interested...
I am currently completing my debut album which includes production from amazing duo Bacon & Quarmby (Finley Quaye, Ziggy Marley, The Pretenders), Paradox & Catch 22 Productions. I have also been working on various other projects including co-writing a song with award winning multi-instrumentalist Nitin Sawhney for his forthcoming album ’London Undersound’. I was chosen to perform at the re-opening of the Royal Festival Hall with a group of amazing & inspiring artists as part of ’Aftershock London’. As a result of this I have been given residency at The Southbank Centre under the title ’Emerging Artist In Residence’ known as EAR ~ click on the link at the bottom left of this page to check out our site for updates, videos, blogs & for your chance to comment on what we've got going on.
To listen to the podcast which featured my track "Homegrown Dubplate" on Ras Kwame’s 100% Homegrown show on BBC 1Xtra, please copy & paste: www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/raskwame/20070311.shtml
Some of the artists I have been blessed to work with: Horacio ’El Negro’ Hernandez, Robby Ameen, John Benitez, Richie Flores, Jack Bruce, Nitin Sawhney, Jah Mason, Deadly Hunta, SAS Band, Bruce Kulick, Paradox, Engine-Ears, Nathan ‘Flutebox’ Lee, Sam Carter…
And some of the places where I have performed: The Royal Festival Hall, The Queen Elizabeth Hall, The Purcell Room @ London’s Southbank Centre, Glastonbury Festival 2007, Abbey Road Studios, Momos, The Jazz Café…
It’s been a crazy journey so far with many highs & lows but I do realise that I am still very much at the beginning & I have much to learn & experience. All your help, guidance, feedback & support is always appreciated and helps me more than you may know. I want to make the most of these opportunities & not let this all-too-often twisted game change me for the negative... Stay in touch and don’t let those who would, weaken you. x
