Debra Debs, The Face of the OMOH Project Debra Debs owes her early music days to her mothers Jazz collection and the missionary boarding school for girls she attended where she sang tenor in both the choir and girl band formed with 7 classmates. Encouraged by her drama teacher, in the summer of 2000 she pursued a degree in Film & Media with Drama in Winchester, UK although dropping out 5 months later saying “...I didnt want to analyse shadows in film noirs” Fortunately for music lovers a Popular Music degree at the Tech Music schools soon followed topped-up with a Masters in International Business. The last 3 years have culminated in an impressive music CV for an unsigned artist kicking off with her 2011 EP release ‘WHUMAN’, appearances and airtime for ‘LifeCycles’ on London’s Soul/RnB/Jazz specialist stations such as Jazz FM, BBC 94.9, Solar Radio, Mi-Soul etc performing at several sold out venues including London’s prestigious Royal Opera House; winning Best Female Urban Act-Cameroon Academy Awards and performing at the Urban Music Awards 2013. She’s graced the catwalk of the UKs biggest Africa Fashion event [Africa Fashion Week London in 2013] , the National Reality TV Awards and British Young Business Awards performing to Vince Cable and the Mayor of Camden. More impressing is her accolade of hitting 1+ million Youtube hits for her 2013 summer official video for Africa [Higher Higher], a poignant tale of corruption and thirst for growth and development - which has also aired on local and international TV stations syndicated to over 30 countries in Africa. Talented Cameroon-born, London-based soul singer/song-writer Debra Debs returns with a fresh new album entitled LifeCycles - released late November 2013 and rapidly garnering rave reviews within the UK soul and jazz circuit. For music lovers with a penchant for sounds blessed with groove and soul, this is one album that is guaranteed to stay on rotate. Recently featured on Jazz FM’s ‘Album of the Week’, her music is a blend of NeosoulfulJazzyRnBAfrosoulThings and as much of a mouthful that is, the ‘LifeCycles’ LP is an intricate blend of sounds infused with 90s RnB, Jazz, Gospel, AfroSoul and skilled lyricism that tend to impart socio-conscious messages or resonate poetic enchantments for those with a weakness at describing seduction and life’s multi-experiences. There is no mistaking shes been influenced by the likes of Jill Scott, Ella Fitzgerald, Lauryn Hill, Floetry, Sarah Vaughn, Mary J Blige and many other greats. Having recently signed a 2-year licensing and distribution deal with Sweet Soul Records in Japan [HMV, Tower Records etc] and currently promoting ‘LifeCycles, Debra Debs is impressively one of the UK’s finest emerging artists and certainly one to watch in 2014. visit her on debradebs For more info: LifeCycles Album Out on debradebs, iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, Google Play Email: pr.debradebs@gmail Website: debradebs Management: management@invinciblegroup
