Bio

Saskia" (nee' Saskia Font Prenafeta ) is a Spanish vocalist who is making her debut on Soulseeks' SLSK Records. Her music is a infectious but unusual blend of pop, I.D.M., and triphop. Thanks to collaborations with more established artist/producers such as KiloWatts and Joseph Troski, Saskia has been able to bring her songwriting visions to life. The Cd "deep" is a melodic foray into the emotional trials and tribulations that are at the root of our mortal existence. Saskia lives her life in a passionate way, and as a result is able to lyrically capture emotions and set them to music in a way that truly touches the heart. Having spent time around the globe, she is inspired by city lights, love lost and love won, lust, the essence of male and female, despair, and elation. She manages to touch on all of these emotions, yet leaves them digestible enough for the dancefloor. As a songwriter, she is a mistress of the melodic hook, carving out choruses that remain in the listeners' head for days afterward. From the lustful "Carried Away" to the poignant "Strong", Saskia's songs are perfect for radio play, the dancefloor, or soundtracks. Particularly touching is "The One", written in New York, which speaks of the illusions that we all have about our relationships, even as they are failing. "The One" was the subject of a system-wide remix contest conducted on Soulseek; 800 remixes were entered in an attempt to be the remix to make it onto the final pressing of the "deep" CD. The winner of the contest (who was chosen by the users of Soulseek) is a collaborative effort by the well-known producing team, "Good and Evil," and songwriter-guitarist, "The Specimen". In addition to appearing on the "deep" CD, the "Good & Evil and The Specimen" remix also appears on Saskia's 12 inch vinyl EP, fittingly entitled "The One". This EP includes a remix for the whimsical "Look Around", produced and remixed by IDM artist KiloWatts, as well as the original versions of "The One" and "Look Around". Born in Barcelona, Saskia comes from generations of artists and performers. Starting with her great-grandparents, Saskia's family has borne a legacy of circus performers, dancers, painters, and sculptors. These talents have not been lost on Saskia; in addition to her singer-songwriting abilities, she is also a gifted painter and photographer. All of these life experiences and talent have brought Saskia to this place; the release of her fist CD and EP. Through her unique vision of the world, she has delivered a singular pop/dance album that we believe will touch you in more ways than one. Feel free to shed a tear for lost love, to empathize, to shake what you've got; if you open your heart to Saskia's music, she will take you anywhere you want to go.
