Egypt

I am a true music lover I believe I am destined to bring the old school music back to the new school. I come from a musical family of singers and musicians and I began writing at the age of twelve years old. My musical inspirations came from experiences I learnt from life and friends. I grew up listening to the great sounds of Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Gladys Knight and the Pips and the Chil’lites. Collectively they mould and influence my tone of voice to what it sounds like today.

Throughout my teen years I performed at various showcases, one showcase in particular involved a production company called ‘Hitroom’ where I wrote numerous songs and performed them live and shared the stage with ‘Lemar’ amongst other great talents. After the success of the show I pioneered a special vocal project at the Digital Arts Centre (DAC) and produced a single under my name entitled ‘You Know’. It was around this time that I began listening to the artist ‘Lauryn Hill’ she inspired me immensely and I began to find myself vocally. At eighteen I auditioned to become lead singer of a group, together we supported American Artists - Jaheim and Kelly Price it was a great experience. Although being in a group was enjoyable I soon realized I wanted to become a solo artist in order to illustrate my true persona ‘Egypt’.

Since launching my solo career in 2000 I have developed my song writing skills and I have worked with the likes of Samson whom I recorded the tracks called ‘Give Me A Chance’ and ‘It’s Over’. Caligraphist Produced the works ‘Destiny’ ‘Lovin Some One’ and ‘The Road’ the list is endless. I also worked with JReel who produced ‘Love Thang’ to name but a few. My vocal and performance experiences have strengthened my belief that if given the platform to show my greatness I will prove to be the long awaited soul inspiration that the British public has been waiting for!
