Executives To Watch


Changamiré
DC based Jazz/R&B Artist

 

Changamiré has been singing and training in vocal music for most of her life. She was introduced to jazz at the age of 13 and instantly took to the music. Later, she attended jam sessions throughout Washington, DC and discovered that formal training was needed for the avenue she was pursuing. She took vocal coaching from various teachers like Glenn Turner, formally of Gil Scott Heron’s band and jazz vocalist Ronnie Wells.

 

Even after being was exposed to such incredible musical talent, a sole commitment to music still was not made. Working outside of the music industry, Changamiré worked for BZD Int'l, a public relations firm in Washington, DC for one year. There, she acquired PR and management skills. The job inspired the launching of Changamiré - The Boutique, a unique vendor gift shop. Realizing her successful PR and presentation talents, she began promoting local events that often yielded record-breaking attendances.

 

Singing always playing a prevalent role in her life… Changamiré met former MoJazz intern, Darrell Newton who after hearing her sing, insisted that she make a recording. This meeting and connection led to the creation of her Jazz/R&B debut CD… Only Human.

 

Only Human was released in the summer of 2001. The project took three years to complete and was recorded at the highest level of quality possible for an independent artist, obtaining the talents of nationally known producers, musicians and studios. As Executive Producer, Changamiré includes a spectrum of music on the CD, ranging from a beautifully lush 14-piece string section, to light rock, to a hip hop remix! Pre-marketing of Only Human has yielded many high acclamations.

 

With the Internet as her main promotional vehicle and one of the most beautiful voices the new century has heard, Changamiré with diligence and professionalism will prove to be an inspirational star to all who come in contact with her music. Visit Changamiré at www.mp3.com/changamire.

 

"When I really want to relax and just drift away in a good song performed by someone with an exquisite voice… I listen to Changamiré. This young woman is fabulous!"

-Fred Wheeler, President/Minnesota Coalition Records
