Press Reviews What Makes "Nema" Stand Out From the Other Groups? Self-contained; write, produce, and arrange. Has written songs for other artists in US, Sweden, and Japan. True performers. In studio and on stage. Dancers at heart. Taught "breakdancing" in Philadelphia, PA. Very natural blend (singing together at an early age). A youthful, very marketable look. IMAGE. Youthful with an edge, 15 - 25 target market. Trendsetting styles in fashion/hair. Designer sport, not dressy. Closest image comparison: Aaliyah, Mya, etc. MUSICAL DIRECTION. Soulful R&B with a hip-hop foundation. Musical and original. Not "sample" driven music. Unique vocal harmonies. Songs that "women" can relate to (love, relationships, men, and sex). Edgy music, but not raunchy. PRODUCTION. Established a strong working relationship with superproducer, Allstar (SWV's "You're The One"). He has committed to two or three bangin' uptempos. Established a strong working relationship with the World's Greatest DJ, DJ Cash Money (Nema's brother). He has committed to two or three fat tracks. A couple of songs will be performed with a band (Roots and Repercussion). Nema will co-produce a portion of the album. Possible guest appearances by established hip-hop artists for song recognition and creditability.
