█│ │█
█│ Having worked with many artists in a huge array of │█
█│ genres all around the UK, Europe, & the world, MC │█
█│ Soom T is now resident on MySpace! │█
█│ │█
█│ Soom has many varied recording projects on the go... │█
█│ here is an incomplete list of present & previous: │█
█│ MC Soom T is the 4th child of 7 children. She has 5 │█
█│ sisters and 1 brother. She started mcing at a young │█
█│ age and was brought up in a family where music was a │█
█│ way of life. She spent her 6 school years with │█
█│ nothing but headphones for company during which time │█
█│ she collected 2 binbags of used Duracell and was │█
█│ educated by Public Enemy, Rage Against the Machine, │█
█│ Ella Fitzgerald, Lata Mangheskar, BodyCount, Cypress │█
█│ Hillblah blah blah. Having been brought up on the │█
█│ rough streets of Glasgows Maryhill she encountered │█
█│ many unfair occurrences and unjust happenings which │█
█│ had a direct impact on the lives of herself, her │█
█│ family and community. │█
█│ │█
█│ At 15 Soom T was the only ethnic minority member and │█
█│ one of the founding members of a youth group called │█
█│ the Y Network which was a political group set up by │█
█│ youths from all areas of Glasgow to act as a direct │█
█│ link of communication to local councillors and MPs. │█
█│ She represented the Whiteinch area. Their aim was to │█
█│ take their grievances about their communities to the │█
█│ politicians in an attempt to affect political change │█
█│ to improve the citys education, health, benefits, │█
█│ environment and prospects for the inner city youths. │█
█│ │█
█│ Years of dedication proved fruitless. Feeling │█
█│ helpless to change anything through conventional │█
█│ political or social routes and angry at the local │█
█│ councils immunity to positive change, Soom T turned │█
█│ to music. │█
█│ │█
█│ From 1997 to 2000 Soom T became a regular vocal │█
█│ resident at underground raves, soundsystems and │█
█│ clubnights throughout Scotland with her own brand of │█
█│ political poetry and musical activism. As demand for │█
█│ her unique vocals grew, Soom T joined several bands, │█
█│ ensuring that each crew supported her different style│█
█│ from rap and reggae toasting to techno robotic and │█
█│ gospel. Soom t wanted to do it all and use her voice │█
█│ as a variable instrument with one goal in mind. To │█
█│ Relay a real message via as many different genres as │█
█│ possible while making listeners dance. │█
█│ │█
█│ From 2000 to 2008 Soom Ts politically motivated, │█
█│ soul driven, unique and powerful rap toasting and │█
█│ song vocals appeared on over 50 commercial and │█
█│ independent releases on compilations, mixtapes, │█
