SY SMITH
Sy Smith is a born storyteller. Get her started about her days in a D.C.
go-go band, or her tenure as Whitney Houston's back-up singer, and she'll spin
many a long and wondrous tale. Better yet, check out her live performance at
L.A.'s Temple Bar with her band Deeznuts and you'll agree that with her
incomparable beauty and many talents, Sy Smith is an exciting new star on the
ascent.A Washington, D.C. native, Sy loved all kinds of music, from Bach to
Sarah Vaughan to Earth, Wind & Fire. Sy studied classical piano for most of her
childhood and early teens, and later found a musical outlet in the school
choir. Sy went on to attend Howard University, earning a B.S. in Psychology
with a minor in Music Therapy. Soon Sy became a member of an all-female band
and felt the lure of performing, so in 1997 she packed up and moved to L.A.,
hoping to get a toehold in the business.
She didn't have to wait long. Her singing and songwriting ability soon
attracted the attention of producer/songwriter Sauce (who has created hits for
Somthin' For The People, Will Smith and Eric Benet). Sy also sang background
vocals on television shows and on the road with the likes of Usher, Me'shell
Ndegeocello, Eric Benet, Somthin' For The People, Ginuwine, and Brandy, as well
as touring for more than a year with Whitney Houston and Macy Gray. She also
appeared in a string of popular GAP commercials and regularly sang with Vonda
Shepherd on the popular FOX network's Ally McBeal.
As a singer/songwriter, Sy Smith was recently named as a 2001 Emmy-nominee in
the category of Outstanding Music and Lyrics. She penned the lyrics and
performs the song "Welcome Back (All My Soulmates)" which is the title track of
HBO's original movie, Dancing in September starring Isaiah Washington and
Nicole Ari Parker. This original tune is an accolade to soulful things of old
and the people who remember them. In addition, Sy shares the vocal spotlight
with legendary singer Al Green as the duet performed the title song to the
Showtime series "Soul Food". On "We Won't Stop", the latest release from Brand
New Heavies, Sy is featured on 7 tracks, of which she co-wrote 4! She is also
featured on the latest release from Blue Note Records' jazz guitarist Ronny
Jordan on "Once or Twice", a tune she co-wrote which is noted by a critic as
being an "instant soul classic". Mya can be heard singing "Do You Only Wanna
Dance" - another song co-written by Sy - in the motion picture Havana Nights.
Sy's writing styles are boundless, stretching from jazz to Latin, soul to
Afro-beat. She displays the latter in the short film Black Rose; she not only
co-writes the film's key performance songs (alongside hit-producer Terry Lewis)
but she stars in the film as the lead character Rose (a South-African recording
star).
While Sy eagerly looks forward to hitting the road with her band, she has
plenty to keep her busy at home. She has formed Psyko!, Inc. a production
company through which she plans to help promote other artists through regular
events; the first being "B!tchcraft… a venue for She". Sy also serves as the
musical director for BET's spoken word series, Lyric Cafe. She is a
much-in-demand session singer for jingles and album recordings alike, having
recently done commercials for Barbie and on-the-spot vocal arrangements for
Macy Gray, Jada Pinkett and Christina Milian. Sy's live show is also in demand
after lately completing stints in Hong Kong, the first annual Ghana Jazz
Festival and the Bermuda Jazz Festival, where the Royal Gazette reported,
"this pretty young thang's talent was just about as awesome as the stars that
night were."
好多女伶都是唱合音出來的(ex: Vivian Green)
這表示
R&B界男女分別
較少男聲是從合音出來的(ex: Trey Lorenz, http://treylorenzmusic.tripod.com/)
而且男聲的發展都很不好
