About Me |
|
| Kwamè, a talented artist, songwriter and producer, first emerged on the music scene at large in 1989. Born in Queens, New York, Kwamè was surrounded by musical influences as a child, including family friends such as Stevie Wonder, Lionel Hampton and Abdullah Ibraheem. He received a drum set from Lionel Hampton and a harmonica from Stevie Wonder, and went on to master several instruments. In addition to his jazz and soul roots, Kwamè also found himself enamored with the work of Prince, Morris Day, Kurtis Blow, Melle Mel, Slick Rick, Kool G Rap , Rakim, and Big Daddy Kane. Ultimately, it was the fusion of these flavors and styles that helped develop an incredibly unique flair that would make him into the man that the guys wanted to be, and the ladies all knew and loved.At the age of 16, he released the classic album The Boy Genius, which made Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists for 1989's Top 25 albums. The project featured his first single "The Man We All Know and Love", the jazz influenced hit record "The Rhythm" and his clever remake of Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing" especially for the ladies. He was insistent upon using live bands in his shows, and incorporated his musical background into creating innovative sounds in Hip Hop.His second full length project, A Day In The Life- A Polkadelic Adventure, was released only a year later and spawned two hits: "Ownlee Ewe" and "Oneovdabigboyz". Kwamè's fast-paced career pushed him into the limelight, and created a national fascination with his incredible talent and innovative fashion sense. Over the next four years, Kwamè went on to record two more albums entitled Nastee and Incognito.After the release of Incognito, Kwamè worked stealthily to hone his production abilities, Kwamè explains that his production style is very give and take when he works with artists. "I will have an idea for a hook or a song direction first and build music around that idea, then record it as if I'm doing a full song," he says. "This allows me to take it to artists and show them what direction I see the music going in, and then we work together to bring both of our ideas to life in the song."Currently Kwamè is one of the most sought after producers today. Working with artists such as Lloyd Banks, Will Smith, 50 cent ,Tweet ,Missy, Pussy Cat Dolls, Christina Aguilerra, Method Man, Raven Simone, Jesse McCartney, Chingy, Jo Jo , Fantasia, Algebra and Mary J Blige Just to name a few..To date Kwamè has sold/contributed to over 30 million records sold!Kwamè has also scored films such as Step Up and The Comebacks.Kwamè is currently working on his new indi label and production company MAKE NOISE!! featuring Hip Hop lyrical monster Beyond Belief from Rockaway Queens and the UK's own future pop/soul Diva Jade Ewen .Understanding how much music influenced him as a child, Kwamè dedicates a significant amount of his time working with kids. He holds mentoring workshops on music appreciation, production, writing and performing and has worked with various youth organizations including HIP HOP 4 LIFE ,The Coca-Cola/Apollo Theater Academy, S.T.A.R.S. Youth Empowerment organization, the IMPACT Repertory Theatre (funded by Russell Simmon's RUSH Foundation), and the late Tupac's 'Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation'. He humbly expresses his gratitude for having longevity in his career, and for being able to give back to the community. "It's just a blessing to still be in the game. I never do work to be recognized, I do it because I love it, and I totally appreciate the love back." Layout Provided By MyspaceAid.com - Sexy Myspace Layouts | |
