Biography
~~Mosadi's debut album entitled THE WINDOW featuring PHONTE (LITTLE BROTHER), PURPLE ST. JAMES (YAHZARAH, FOREIGN EXCHANGE), SUPASTITION & MORE!~~~
MOSADI MUSIC is sinewy groove music, lyrically savvy and musically astute. Frontwoman shirlette ammons' blend of wry wit and social insight makes for hip lip service that fits perfectly atop and in between MOSADI's superior musicianship. A commanding stage presence and an apparent love of music keeps MOSADI's live performance intimate, whether rocking sidestages at sold-out arenas or engaging eager audiences at cozy nightclubs. MOSADI's 2003 debut performance drew diverse lovers of live music and the crowds continue to gather, charting MOSADI's growth and screaming their praise. Mix the feel-good of southern soul with the passion of nineties hip hop, add a hint of neck-wrenching rock and you have MOSADI MUSIC's brand new blend: "funk-heavy hip hop soul, revolutionary rock, independent and international groove music."
MOSADI has shared stages with such diverse talents as Little Brother, Meshell Ndegeocello, Angelique Kidjo, Nick Whitley(The Cherry Valence), Purple St. James (formerly Yahzarah; solo Soulstress & former Erykah Badu background Vocalist) and Justice League and Scratch (The Roots). Mosadi has performed on side stages with mainstage acts Beyonce, Destiny's Child, Mary J. Blige, Mario and many others.
MOSADI's diverse sound fuses well with many different genres of music from funk, hip hop to rock, which is why MOSADI boasts a wide arrangement of influences and has opened & headlined with Indie Rock bands, World Music artists, Jazz, Soul and Hip Hop artists alike.
MOSADI's live performance has developed a reputation for bringing audiences together with thought-provoking messages that are reinforced by heavy, infectious grooves and head bobbing drumbeats beneath screaming guitar riffs.
