Imagine tasting a new flavor that instantly becomes your favorite. Such is the experience of hearing the sensual and harmonic tones that flow from this songbird in waiting, *~Chanél~* The road has been intense and the journey adventurous, all to the good of creativity as wild times, evolutionary experiences and sexcapades vividly color the songs that pour from the heart of the Neo-Soul~R&B~Funk Princess, Chanél. A hippie at heart with the natural style and beauty of the original Soul Sistas, Chanél takes the stage and the breath of every audience with a smooth mixture of a laid-back jazzy and somehow high-energy funk sound that demands attention which is reciprocal of pleasure and sure to put all bodies in motion. With a seemingly spiritual connection to listeners, the artist keeps a few facts in mind while in the creative stages of song: Music lovers want to rock. Intellectual music lovers want to rock while being mentally stimulated. The rest of us seek a soothing sound similar to a lullaby that moves through the depths of the Soul and vibrates throughout the entire Being, becoming the soundtrack to significant eras of our lives during which time we are mentally stimulated and of course, want to rock. The Heavens opened up to bestow the gifts to ensure all of these needs would be fulfilled by one source, Chanél. Professionally, landing the leading roles of Diana Ross and Tina Turner in the popular Carolina musical revue, "BEEHIVE... Women of the 60's," has greatly contributed to the ability to grip audiences during performances. The highly choreographed and spirited shows create a natural connection between the artist and the audience who are there for the common reason of bringing the Groove into the house. The musical background combined with earning a Master's from the University of Hard Knocks has become the inspiration for creating music that all of humanity can vibe to, regardless of age, race, gender or status. You know, Unconditional Music. With a history in theater arts, interesting concepts and themes are incorporated into the truly unique songs, producing radio hits... with extremely thick plots. The lyrical genius of this flowing diva becomes apparent in her hip-hop tracks that could easily be compared to the style of the best battle rappers, as the rhyme schemes and verbal design implemented in a fashionably musical way separates Chanél from the typical songstress. What were once only roots have now blossomed into a miraculous sound that the world may not even know it is waiting for. But the time has come, ready or not, for the revolutionary combination of Soul, Classic Beauty and Sensual Funk, as this Sista (who it is most impossible to categorize) slips her foot into the glass slipper of the musical world. What d'ya know... Its a perfect fit.
