|
Calibe Aisha Thompson, BA (hons): writer / vocalist, Sagittarian, born and raised
between Kingston and Miami. If she weren't singing, she'd be in art, design and construction.
But music has been #1 on her list of life loves for the past 7 years. Always curious about the
industry, she wasn't formally introduced to the business of music until 1995 when she became
the second inaugurated member of female quartet Emerge. Emerge dwindled to female duo Girlfriends
who, now dismantled, has left one very lyrically and stylistically talented cheese standing alone.
Not alone in her studio home environment, she is in good company with Sly and Robbie of Taxi
Records, and Orville 'Rorey' Baker, as the family who feeds her rhythmic soul.
Current pre-releases featuring her vocals include "Murderer", "How you Wanna Live", a combination
with the Innocent Kru and the lead single from their debut album - 'Innocent', and "Let's Stay
Together" a duet with Ghost and tentatively the lead single for his upcoming album. Her vocal
skills have been developed through training and her personal desire to emulate her most impactful
influences including Stevie Wonder and Bob Marley.
What makes her so special? Begin with a vocal that is reminiscent of sultry Sade, then switches
to the smooth edge of Bone Thugs N Harmony, and then swings to the earthy grit of Macy Gray, all
the while keeping the yard vibe in the midst. Whether going for daring and controversy, as she
does in "Murderer", or moaning a sweet ballad of dreams of love as she does in the song "Searchin",
she sounds like no one but herself. She writes as widely as she listens, having the advantages of
sharp wit and keen intelligence to feed from. She has gained her stripes as a writer and recording
artiste in her own camp. Now enter: Calibe, to prove to the world that she is worthy of recognition.
