DESCRIPTION
Arika Kane is exactly what the world has been missing. Charisma, Soul, Style, Class & Song are the elements of Arika Kane.She is a shining star waiting & ready to endulge the world with Great Music. She is a Singer/ Songwriter born and raised in The Northeast Corner of Connecticut. Being introduced to Music while she was in Mommy's tummy was only the beginning. Her Mother & Father whom both are Singers & Musicians were touring New England with their Hit Show called "Mass Production" during the time Arika was born. Mass Production was a group of 12 or more singers backed by a Full Band. Singing Broadway Medleys, Top 40, Rock & Roll. 

Arika's tiny ears tuned into Good Music at an early age. Music became Second Nature to her. She always found herself surrounded by Music at all times no matter what. " I realized at a young age the power of Music...It releases emotions & puts things in perspective. I wish Life was a Musical, and there was a song for every situation. lol. " Arika had no doubt in her mind that what made her Happy was her destiny, Music. As Arika grew up she was influenced by every different genre of Music. From India Arie to Aerosmith. " Music has no boundaries & no Limits. An amazing song has the power to touch the whole world. I love all Music that is passionate & genuine." Arika's first vocal teachings came from Mariah Carey's Album, Vision of Love. " I learned a lot about Color & Range from Mariah. She is just phenomenal to me & paved the way for many singers. " As Arika grew up, she began developing her identity & her own style. Arika soon then became in touch with her Songwriting which was influenced by her father who is a Songwriter. After working with many artists & producers, Arika was determined to learn Recording Software & Audio Production on her own. She was anxious to Record and Produce all the Songs she had in her head...Soon her Songwriting became noticeable to all around her that Arika Kane is someone to take very seriously. Just about every song she was writing has HIT potential, and she was only improving.

It is filled with Great Music and Hit Songs. " I am so excited for the World to hear my Album. Every song has it's own identity and place, yet they are all equally amazing. My goal in all my Music is to make people feel good. I really believe we don't embrace the good things in life as much as we should. And through my Music I hope to Contribute to that." - Arika Kane :)

KANDI


                                                                                                                  

The first time I heard of Kandi Burruss was in 2009, when she was on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I did not realize she was a former member of Xscape, a female R&B group in the 1990s. Kandi is a singer-songwriter and
record producer. Kandi’s song writing skill as earned her an award as the first African-American women ever to win ASCAP’s Songwriter of the Year award in 2000.

In 1999 Kandi wrote songs for TLC “No Scrubs” which we all know won all kind of rewards. After that Kandi was on a roll, she wrote three more hits for Destiny’s Child’s second album “The Writing’s on the Wall”, “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Bug A Boo”. Kandi kept going she wrote “There You Go”
for newcomer Pink. Kandi’s writing credits grew, she wrote for artist like Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Boyz II Men, Da Brat, N-Toon, NSYNC, Solo, Usher, Fantasia, Mya, Joe, MC Lyte and Whitney Houston.

 In 2009 I heard a song Kandi wrote “Fly Above” on a episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I was not feeling the way she sung the song, but the lyrics had a good message. I can relate to the 1st verse so well, “I am so comfortable in the skin I'm in, I'm secure about who I am, so you go ahead and talk all you wanna, I built up a shell and it's hard as
armor. It seems like every step I take up, drama comes along with the bread I cake up. But you ain't doing nothin if you don't have haters, so I welcome you to do what's in your nature.”

Kandi has a new album out called Kandi Koated it was released on December 2010 the lead single “Leave U” debuted 89th on the Billboard’s Hot
R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. You can listen to this album on Streetwise Radio.
Kandi is a talented songwriter; I hope her solo career goes just as well.
