[email protected]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.

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
