 Singer-songwriter
Belinda Brady was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. Belinda
has been writing music and performing since the tender age of
fourteen but truly started making waves in the industry as a back
up singer, choreographer and dancer on the 1996 "Bombastic
Tour" with reggae superstar Shaggy. Since then, Belinda has
blossomed into one of Canada's most talented female artists, writing
and collaborating internationally.
In
1998 her popular single "Flex" was nominated for a Juno.
In 1999 another original "Too Late" won Belinda a Canadian
Urban Music Award for Best Single, and in 2003 she was nominated
for a second Juno for her song "Gifted Man" distributed
by EMI on the Master T Reggae Vibes Compilation. Belinda has enjoyed
commercial airplay across Canada and the Caribbean with singles
"Want Something" and "Free your Mind" co-written
with Farley Flex and produced by legendary duo Sly and Robbie.
Belinda's
approach to singer song-writing represents the musical genres
and singer songwriters that have influenced and inspired her artistry
- Rock, Folk, R&B and Reggae and the music of Bob Marley,
Joni Mitchell, India Arie and Sheryl Crow.
With
all of her experience and successes in the world of Reggae music
it was a meeting with Farley Flex her manager and owner of recording
label Plasma, that Belinda calls her professional break through.
For the first time she found the courage to play a collection
of songs that no one had ever heard. In her words to Flex, "I
don't know if I should play these songs for you, they make me
feel naked." Flex responded by saying, "Belinda, if
these songs mean this much to you, then they're the only songs
I'm willing to work with." One year later "NAKED"
was completed. Featured titles on the debut body of work include
the first single, "I Cried", the powerful but passionate
"Get Out!" and other attention getters like "Kiss
My Ass" and "Breathe". All help to ensure that
"NAKED" is a body of work that will make waves internationally.
Scheduled
for release this spring, "NAKED" is a body of work that
screams sensuality, maturity and honesty.
.
"NAKED" is scheduled for release in spring 2008.
