Stephanie McKay



Stephanie McKay * Stephanie McKay
Astralwerks
EP CD * In Stores Now

Growing up in the Bronx, McKay's diverse musical education started with her older brother's 70s soul and funk collection, listening to classic pop station WABC and hearing Grandmaster Flash, Jimmy Castor, James Brown and Afrika Bambaataa in constant rotation on the block. A former dancer who grew up studying at The Alvin Ailey school, the singer/songwriter toured the world with the Brooklyn Funk Essentials and Europe with Amp Fiddler, lent her vocals to tracks by Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Tricky and Roy Hargrove and played lead guitar in Kelis' band. After McKay traveled to England to work with Portishead founder Geoff Barrow on her first album, things started connecting. The mastermix of Bristol and Bronx proved a worthy sonic experiment, but while her debut McKay carried over Barrow's trademarked Portishead sound her sophomore album Tell It Like It Is is truly Stephanie's own vision.

As witnessed on her debut EP, that precedes the full length album dropping next year, Stephanie McKay is using hip-hop as the foundation to build her compositions, yet refuses to limit her beat-box inspirations to merely rapping over obvious samples. Instead she fuses her powerful urban poetics creatively with sonic splashes of rock, pop, soul, and, of course hip-hop. From the gutbucket guitar that conjures windy city bluesmen wailing their ax's on aboard a speeding freight train on "Tell It Like It Is" to the thick slap of bass and vintage keyboards on "Money," Stephanie McKay brings a stunning collection of musical compositions that fuse McKay's powerful urban poetics, which effortlessly combines soul, hip-hop, funk and rock. Catch her live in New York City on October 31st at Hiro Ballroom and November 4th at Canal Room.

The show will air at 10pm CT and again at 8 AM (Monday AM) CT. If you are not in Central Time Zone, be sure to make whatever calculations necessary to get the right time (I'm awful at that!!!) You can tune into the station anytime at www.jazzsyndicate.co.uk. I have to thank Mark and all of JSR Family for welcoming me! I've already got some wonderful guests lined up...Frank McComb, James Day, Sandra St. Victor and Family Stand, Billy Porter, Tata Vega, Mohammed Bilal, author Bill Carpenter..and more...Not only do we have guests, but you'll get to hear great music!!!

I couldn't have asked for a greater gift than to finally be able to put this album out on the market. I have to thank all of the radio announcers who have had me as a guest over the past couple of weeks...and for the strong support of the first single ("That's The Kind of Love") and the amazing response to some of the other tunes on the album.

Cara Robinson's debut album Keep'er Lit will be released in October. Cara has written and recorded with notable artists from a huge range of musical genres, including David Holmes, LTJ Bukem and upcoming EMI artist, Corinne Bailey Rae. She has toured throughout the UK as a session singer, backing singer and solo artist. As a backing singer for Sony's Rhianna, she toured Japan and the UK, supporting Jamiroquai and Beverly Knight.

Keep'er Lit is Cara's impressive debut album, which she wrote and produced with keyboard player Joe Tatton. The collaborative work ignores all musical boundaries and acknowledges all that is good about blues, folk, alt-country and rock, giving more than a nod of gratitude to Cara's roots in Northern Ireland.
While unclassifiable, it's an album which could easily be racked up there with Dusty Springfield, Carlene Anderson, Fiona Apple and Moloko.

Also in October, Capri will be playing alongside fellow GLP artist Cara Robinson at the HiFi on Friday 27th October at a special gig to raise money for Oxfam as part of their OXJAM event. Throughout October Oxfam have organised gigs all over the country:-
"Oxjam is Oxfam's biggest, most-ambitious, music event ever. We're asking musicians, promoters and - in fact everybody, to put on all kinds of music events throughout October to raise cash for Oxfam.

There's no limit on how big, or small the events are. From classical to club night, Mambo to metal, it's Live 8 in your back garden or local pub... All this will add up to one huge, UK-wide, Oxjam festival - raising hundreds of thousands of pounds to fight poverty."

SAT 7TH OCT NOT TO BE MISSED/JOIN KEITON'S ARMY/

You joined in your hundreds and Sarah now has a match!

Unfortunately the struggle continues...

Beautiful Keiton Knight is suffering from AML and has had the same treatment as Sarah...but he's just 7 years old! We have 3 weeks to find him a potential donor and save his life. Please see the ATTACHED flyer for more details.

Please come to Choice FM this Saturday and help us win this battle.

Much love,
Laura.
