About Me |

| it's hard to put a label on who we are...
i guess these days i'm considered a singer songwriter
and spoken word poet.
i mostly think of myself as a traveler and searcher i spent years backpacking around a huge part of our beautiful planet. while in india in '97 i was blessed to meet mother teresa and the dalai lama, which made me realize the importance..necessity of each person's actions. i've also spent several years working with and learning from the tlicho indigenous people in northern canada then i got into writing and music fulltime. in october '06 we released my debut album 'masi cho' across canada…wonderful talented musicians collaborated in its making. you can visit website for more info, bio, other media stuff and lots of interesting goodies or see full bio in blog up top. i'm working on the next album now.... below are some videos. the first is a music video of the prayer/song masi (thank you) that was recorded last december as a message of hope and peace. the second video is live footage taken at the montreal cd launch in october. it’s the song ayii woole that i wrote for the people of wekweti. it includes footage i shot in the small isolated tlicho community of wekweti in canada’s far north. the third video was a collaboration with josh usheroff and françois turgeon for a piece that was screened at the world peace forum in vancouver in june. the theme was reflections on water thanks for visiting…happy travels….love to read your comments….neema Masi - a message of Peace ..Ayii Woole - for the people of Wekweti ..She Flows - Screened at the world peace forum in June .. |

Masì « Your ears will thank you for indulging in NEeMA’s global gumbo—they may even whisper “masí cho.” » Mare Wakefield, Performing Songwriter « a promising debut, filled with sparely produced, jangly folk-pop nuggets with a dash of spoken word, late-night café hipsterism and worldbeat spice » Bernard Perusse, The Montreal Gazette « The strongest moments, musically, reach beyond the dreamy folk and weave in hints of Arabic, Inuit, Hindu and African inspiration. » Rupert Bottenberg, The Mirror « L'ensemble baigne dans la spiritualité. Les textes sont remplis d'humanité. D'une sincérité absolue. » Gilles Tremblay, Voir « On ne sait immédiatement d'où vient cette femme à la voix douce, fragile et coulée dans le folk pop … l'artiste est prometteuse» YvesBernard, Ici "...her debut album Masì Cho is a soothing mix of poetic songs in pop and folk styles that mirrors the different stages in her life...her songs are socially and environmentally conscious and make a fitting debut for the active artist." Julia Gerke, The Suburban "For her debut album, Masi Cho, NEeMA makes a strong outing" Ralph Angelillo, Muzik etc « On pourrait classer son album dans la catégorie des Leonard Cohen tellement les textes sont bien travaillés et dirigés vers le monde et ses conflits » Bernard Bujold, Le Studio1.com « Ce qu'on ressent à voir et entendre NEeMA sur scène, c'est toute l'intégrité de sa démarche, de la pureté des intentions, et de la richesse de son âme. Une grande artiste remplie d'humanité » Michel Parent- QuebecPop.com «…a gentle call to arms for freedom and an invitation to unfasten the chains we wrap around ourselves. NEeMA sings, tells stories and dances in a performance that has the flow and sparkle of water» MacRae Campbell –The Montreal Gazette «On first hearing of this musical masterpiece it is hard for me to realize that this is a debut album. There is so much here in the way of subtlety, intricate word-play and sheer aural imagery it reminds me of the greats...» Antoine Mountain - News North «When you sift through the rich musical tapestries woven by Montreal's NEeMA, you immediately realize that she is drawing influences from a variety of places, and making them all part of her focused and original sound...» Scott C – Montreal Mirror « Masi is part travelogue, part spiritual exploration, part sonically and ethnically eclectic celebration» Lorraine Carpenter - ChartAttack.com Record Label: Tonality Productions Type of Label: Indie |
