The Queen Project
Three Grammy Award
Winning R&B Diva’s are now joining forces to create “The Queen Project.”
With three powerhouse vocalists, the singing is uniformly solid. These three
ladies are the industry's most talented vocalists in the genres of R&B,
Soul and Pop. These trend setting ladies are currently promoting their new
single "QUEEN.” This is a compilation of R&B and soul sounds,
featuring original compositions as well as standards for all their loyal career
long fans, new fans and all national and international music loving public.
These ladies love for music has always captivated their audiences, and
continues to leave them spellbound with each performance. This project
features the creative mind of super producer Anthony “Shep” Crawford (Boys to
Men, Tamia, Deborah Cox, Kelly Price, Montel Jordan and many others). His goal
was to “Highlight” the amazing talents individually while blending them
together to unite for this mega project. This is a unique union that will not
provide the music you have come to expect from these three “Super Star” acts,
but will also focus on themes of female empowerment and reiterating “Every
Woman is a QUEEN. “ The trio
will tour to promote the album which is scheduled to drop the first quarter
2010 Tamia Tamia’s big break
came after she moved to Los Angeles in 1994. She met Quincy Jones when he
happened to be chosen to present an award to her in Las Vegas. (Quincy Jones is
known for discovering many artists such as Patti Austin, James Ingram, and
Tevin Campbell). Quincy asked Tamia if she would like to sing the lead-off
single from his first new album in six years, Q’s Jook Joint. The single was
called You Put A Move On My Heart and it would be the single that introduced
Tamia to the world. Jones released the song as a single in 1995, and it was
nominated for a Grammy Award. Later that year, Tamia participated in
collaboration, “Missing You”, a single from the Set it Off soundtrack that also
featured singers Brandy, Chaka Khan, and Gladys Knight. The song was also
nominated for a Grammy Award. After
appearing on Quincy Jones’ album on the songs You Put A Move On My Heart and
Slow Jams (with Babyface), and signing with Quincy’s Qwest label, Tamia
immediately ventured into the music world, singing the hit song Missing You
(from the movie Set It Off) with Brandy, Gladys Knight, and Chaka Khan. She
also sings on LL Cool J’s new Phenomenon album. Last summer,
Tamia tried her hand at acting by landing a supporting role in the movie Speed
2: Cruise Control, acting opposite Jason Patrick and Sandra Bullock. She has
appeared as a guest and presenter at award shows such as the Grammy Awards,
American Music Awards, and the Soul Train Awards. She carefully crafted her
debut album over the course of 1996 and 1997, taking time out to play a small
role in Speed II: Cruise Control in 1997; she also sang “Make Tonight
Beautiful” for the soundtrack. Tamia
finally released her debut album, Tamia, in April 1998. The album boasted an
impressive list of collaborators and producers, including Jermaine Dupri, Keith
Crouch, Tim Kelly and Bob Robinson, Stevie J., Mario Winans, and Quincy Jones.
Two years later and newly signed to Elektra, Tamia released her sophomore effort,
A Nu Day, featuring production collaborations from Missy Elliott, Dallas
Austin, and Shep Crawford. The single “Stranger in My House” became a surprise
Top Ten hit in 2001. More (2004) and Between Friends (2006) followed. Kelly
Price Throughout her
career Kelly has sung for, recorded with, toured with, wrote songs for,
arranged and produced music for George Michael, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin,
Brian McKnight, LL Cool J, Ben Tankard, Mary J Blidge, Puff Daddy, Brandy, The
LOX, Donnie McClurkin, The Williams Brothers, Faith Evans, Karen Clarke-Sheard,
Yolanda Adams, MASE, Whitney Houston, Mary, The Notorious B.I.G, Richard
Smallwood, R. Kelly, Eric Clapton, Wynona Judd, Gerald Levert, Angela Winbush,
The Isley Bros and the legendary Ronald Isley just to name a few. Though many record
labels initially pursued Kelly as a recording artist it was her connection with
Isley and his relentless persistence that convinced her to begin to use her
musical talents for herself resulting in a formal alliance between Isley and
Price that birthed her solo career with the album Soul of A Woman in 1998 that
featured the #1 smash women's anthem of the year "Friend of Mine",
penned by Ms Kelly Price. She would follow with the platinum success of Mirror
in 2000, One Family: A Christmas Album in 2002 and the critically acclaimed
Priceless in 2003. Out of the box Ms
Price was a trendsetter and broke records by reaching Billboard's top spot
twice with the same song and having achieved that initial # 1 victory with no
music video at television. This had never been done by any artist since the
format of music videos became the major marketing method by which record
companies promote and sell music. Kelly is also working on her cooking
show" FROM THE KITCHEN 2 THE COUCH...to be released- spring/summer 2010.
As well as her clothingline fall/winter 2010. She has written 2 books,
Inscriptions of my Heart & But, I just want to sing. Now This Singing
Sensation Diva is one the Queens of The Group TDK!! These ladies vocal
styles, brings to memory singers like Billie Holiday, Phyllis Hyman and Abbey
Lincoln, true vocalists that sang from their souls and make you feel emotions
that only surface when true sincerity penetrates your heart. Deborah Cox A multi-talented
entertainer, Cox has conquered the R&B and pop charts, including six top-20
Billboard R&B singles, an impressive nine 1 hits on Billboard’s Hot Dance
Club Play chart and a starring role in. The first track to be recorded for One
Wish was "One Day You Will," written by Diane Warren and Elton John.
The first track to be recorded for One Wish was "One Day You Will,"
written by Diane Warren and Elton John and Tim Rice’s Broadway musical, Aida
produced by David Foster. Then there's
"Nobody's Supposed To Be Here," a song co-written by Montell Jordan
and his musical director Shep Crawford. Its gospel flavor and Crawford's
"straight out of church piano" gave it a live feel, "like it was
recorded in concert," Deborah says. "Nobody's Supposed To Be
Here" was the perfect fit. Not only was it chosen as the first single
release from One Wish, but its remixed version, courtesy of New York DJ Hex
Hector, took on a life of its own. In no time, it was
a certified Platinum smash and soon after became the longest running R&B #1
in Billboard history. The second track that Deborah cut with Montell was
Crawford's "We Can't Be Friends," a duet with R.L. from Next which
she describes as "a beautiful ballad with an 'Endless Love' feeling. It's
an R&B ballad that's reminiscent of the classic duets from back in the
day." And it was another success for Deborah, quickly going Gold. Deborah also
stepped into hip hop with "September," a song she wrote with New York
producer Stevie J (of Bad Boy) and Gordon Chambers. Similarly, "It's Over
Now" was written and produced by Kay-Gee of Naughty By Nature, his first
production outside of Next. "It's a real different element," Deborah
states. "People aren't even going to believe that it's me." The title
track of the album, "One Wish," was produced by DJ Quik and Deborah describes
the track as "a party joint." Quik also raps on the track. Rodney
Jerkins wrote and produced two tracks in Los Angeles, "I Never Knew"
and "Just When I Think I'm Over You," which Deborah calls "a
great up-tempo record." Also crossing
international lines is "I Won't Give Up" which Deborah and Lascelles
wrote with Trina Powell (a Columbia artist). It takes Deborah back to her jazz
roots, and was produced by Lascelles Stephens. In addition to roles in both
film and television, Deborah also released a tribute album to the legendary
Dinah Washington last year on Universal. For more information on Deborah Cox,
