About Me |
|
| I created my layout at KillerKiwi.net written and edited by Rahsaan Malik Robinson. Chela Simone is pure, A ferocious femcee, crushing stages packed w/ seasoned testosterone, her sweet breaks into songstress caresses your very core. Nothing contrived, just pure, and free. A hint of Cali-rock, a splash of soul, mixed with southern love & served over hip hop. sort of... Chela Olivia Simone came out of the womb singing, and cussing. She began her performing career on the counter of the local diner at the ripe age of 3, singing along, and tap dancing with the songs that played on the Jukebox. Her elders knew then, either they had a big problem on their hands or a star in the making. Chela Simone attended UC Berkeley's Young Musicians Program at 13 to study Classical Music (Opera), Voice Composition, & Piano Arrangement, she hated the crowd, but couldn’t live with out the music. She was quoted saying," I found it early, I knew what I wanted to be, I didn’t know how to get there, but I am finding my way. I have been thru so many changes as an artist, as a human being. I never really had a formula for writing songs, I just write what I know. Music is my journal, the chronicles of my experience. Things I've seen, felt, heard about. I get the greatest enjoyment from being on stage and seeing people rock to my shit... its big, it bigger than me and MY music, its an energy that only word sound power brings! " In 1990', Chela Simone formed a Rap Group called "Children of Mary Jane" with collaborate, Toy Himes (N. J. native). At that time she went by the name Tiye Selah. They left an indelible mark on hip hop in the Bay Area. In '94' The duo chose to embark on solos careers. Chela Simone says, "I chose to drop the Tiye Selah shit... recently, after discussing it with my moms... She actually put a lot of thought into my name it means: "disciple of the ascendant master, or student of the guru". And I feel like that... And I dont want to cover up who I am. So I went back to ME. No aliases... Just good old Chela. My dad added the Simone - yes I was Named after Nina Simone. And my grandmother was Olivia Simone.... so there is honor in my name. But you will still see stuff around with that "Tiye" character on it...*Laughing*" At the age of 18, after developing a following as a solo artist she traveled to Miami to showcase in local venues. Ocho Rios, Jamaica where she spent over a year recording and developing musical versatility. Then on to the "Big Apple" (NY). Chela Simone gained a great deal of respect in the community of musicians. Rapping, singing, dancing, reading spoken word, She decided that her love for music far outweighed her love for anything else so in the hopes of mastering her craft, she decided to further educate herself in the art of sound creation. She attended San Francisco State University where she studied Audio Engineering. Chela Simone as Tiye Selah has graced the stage with artist such as Jungle Bros, Organized Konfusion, Beatnuts , Strange Fruit Project, Sa Ra ,Giles Peterson ,Azeem and Dj Zeph , KRS1, Mystic, Del, J*Davey ,Hieroglyphics, Freestyle Fellowship, Acyealone, AbRude, Medusa, Common, Das EFX, Lyrics Born, Saafir & The Whoriddas (Hobo Junction), Mystic Journeymen , Living Legends, artist Zion-I and more. Most recently Chela Simone was featured on the song F.U.W the Bomb Hip Hop Records release of Azeem's - Show Business as Tiye Selah . And on DJ Child of Project Groundation Massive Mix Tape RISE UP, Flipping her version of the Corner featured over super producer Kanye West beats. She released a leak of her demo May 2007 Ineffable, Toured with OM recording artist Colossus as lead-vocalist, sang backup on DJ Zeph and Azeem 07 release RISE UP with OM records, and is currently Mixing down her first Full length Release called "ITS JUST A RIDE". Other worthy Chela Simone notes include: *Lead Female Vocalist for a now defunct International World Music Band : Junglz Apart *An Infomercial Jingle - for Dosho Inc. Jam Gym , written by Chela Simone and recorded with "Vision" of the Original "Wailers". * A One woman Show called "3rd degree Co-dependency" to soon be featured in the Marsh Theaters New Works project. * She also destroyed the original Exodus (rock band) Demo tape, and irritated the shit out of Metallica while they recorded in her grandfathers garage. But in her defense she was like 6. * (lyrically)Attacked a famous rap artist for trying to SON her at a local rap summit, she handed him his ass, while the audience cheered. Now THAT I was there for! - it was all in fun. Sort of.. Keep your eyes ears and hearts open.... its coming... ^ LOL clownin' |

SOUND LIFE LOVE HATE Saturdays, and all night sex sessions Sounds Like: Sounds Like???? *scratching head* I have no idea... I am a lover of words, and good food, late night dancing and tequila sunrises. I was born in Oakland to a Black Panther father and a Criminal Defense Lawyer mother... A sorted tale. But one that ended up being what made me. My step father was an actor and a god. My grandfather was an angel he decided it was best to take me out of the city to his ranch where I raised/bred and broke horses and trained them for show and the grand nationals. My family is BIG, and we are all mixed up... HOW my momma just now telling me my grandma is half Chinese ... talking about I thought you knew! :| now I feel bad for yelling at them in traffic. :(...my PEOPLE! I lived everywhere, so earth is my home. I make music for me and to get out the blues... I thought I could pacify my fiend with distraction such as vicariously living thru other people, but it dont work when you are like me.... I see things in my head, and I can figure out exactly how to get it... my only problem is... being lazy complacent and wanting some one to help me... but knowing is half the battle. I dedicated my self to being a better person, I joke a lot... but generally I am a happy person, a crazy chick, a well dressed idiot, a corny goof ball, with love bigger than religion. and Apparently I have ADD cause I am supposed to be talking about who I sound like and in essence I am... Them, and all the artist I listen to, some I have never heard, the little voices in my head that say NO do it over like this. I say all that to say I just want to live by water so I can write every day... so ummm yeah:| View Chela Simone's EPK Record Label: The Never Settle Movement /Riddims Couture Type of Label: Indie |
