What does your Soul seek? An All Star List of Players/Musicians on her new album that explodes!
SOULS FROM ASH - The Black Swan's new stellar band debuts this year!
OFFICIAL VIRGIN COLLEGE MEGA TOUR VILLAGE ARTIST - A very famous rock guitarist had listened carefully to one of her hard-driving songs and said, "Who was that playing the solos? That made me sweat! I was sweating!" He was describing The Black Swan's solo Keytar and Keyboard playing - something to be experienced.Ea-The Black Swan (Eleanor Academia): Musician, Mystic, Sage, Poet, Indie Rock Artistan whose music and philosophy is recognized as original commanding, Artistry which a new generation of music fans have embraced. Her love for authentic rock comes through in her songs - singing, composing, writing, playing, performing, arranging and producing. With her signature Voice and especially when blistering on her solo Rock Keytar, you experience the crunchy bite of the Les Paul guitar with vintage tubes, Avalon gear and Orange amps all attuned in perfect balance, pushing new sonic levels and adventure in ROCK.
Her music expresses the great literature, nature and expression of one's authentic, Evolvian Soul. The Black Swan is also a multi-keyboardist, lyricist, virtuoso Kulintang world percussionist, songwriter, band leader and of all things, a martial artist. Simon Wright, CEO of VIRGIN Entertainment Worldwide proclaims her powerful artistry, "just absolutely brilliant!"
The Black Swan has written, arranged and produced two solo albums Jungle Wave (Columbia) and Global Conversations (Epic/Sony), with a No.1 Billboard Hit, Adventure, now an international house/mix cult club DJ Remix favorite, on ECutz's ReWork Mix and DJ Naughty's One Night In Berlin; producing and writing her CD Album Oracle of the Black Swan, losing her dearest band member, Braddo, going dark and enduring despair of such a painful loss. She is emerging with her newest solo CD album, WHEN YOU LIVE coming out this year debuting her new band, SOULS FROM ASH!
She is also currently doing a world tour with Ray Parker, Jr. and continues to collaborate and work with many multi-platinum and great artists. Some highlights: As a keyboardist, she fondly endears one night in Vancouver, Canada, trading 8 solos onstage with Joe Zawinul (Weather Report) for over 3,000 people on her song, One Dot World and receiving a standing ovation. Earlier, he had refused to have her play with the band as he wished to be the only keyboardist on stage, but quickly changed his mind after hearing her play.
As a vocalist she has recorded with Stewart Copeland (film composer and drummer with Rock Band-POLICE), Jay Chattaway (composer, Star Trek) and Rikki Rockett (POISON) on his solo album "Glitter;" As a master percussionist she has opened for the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl and Ojai Festival with her percussion ensemble, World Kulintang Institute; As a creative arts mentor - an Official U.S. Delegate Artist for Global Interactions' Leadership Conference in China; continues to mentor everyone from Girl Scouts to Fortune 500 CEOs!! Whew! Yes, and she IS the same Eleanor Academia who kicks ass in martial arts.
Tirelessly passionate about music, in addition, her songs have also been featured on a hit television show, films and has scored a feature film - writing, performing, arranging, engineering and producing...
