Release Notes:
On this EP (produced by Aaron Burrison, Jamal Gaillard, & Baldwin Powell aka
'The Colored Orphans') you'll discover a vocal gumbo which merges Gospel, Jazz,
The Blues, African Rhythms, Reggae, Hip-Hop, R&B, Classic Soul, Pop, Folk Music,
and even Opera into a musical experience that is magical, sonically eclectic,
socially relevant, and spiritually empowering. Although the 20-something
classically trained vocalist/songwriter plays keyboard and violin, and studied
at the prestigious Oakwood College in Huntsville, Alabama (the same institution
that produced the Grammy award winning gospel acappella group Take 6 and soulful
balladeer Brian McKnight), she's no stranger to hip-hop, the dominant music of
her generation.
Executive producer Kevin Powell (former senior writer for Vibe, cast member on
the inaugural season of MTV's "The Real World", best-selling author, and noted
political and cultural commentator and social activist) discovered Holt in 2004
while working with another artist. A few months later, when the situation with
the first singer fell apart, he asked Shannone if she would consider being the
first artist True York Entertainment would introduce.
