Bio

The buzz is LOOSE. Those who don't quite know yet think there is simply another gorgeous female solo artist, looking to find her way. THINK AGAIN. LaDeana (Luh-Dee-Nuh) Michelle, multi-octave vocalist, actress, producer, songwriter, musician, arranger, composer, actress, screenwriter, CEO, poet, author, concept designer and much more, is an emerging POWERHOUSE. We will never forget LaDeana Michelle's positive "Keep Your Faith" song and video she wrote, arranged, produced and performed, which was dedicated to President-Elect Barack Obama during the 2008 Presidential Race and spread like wildfire after being leaked on YouTube. It is currently being promoted as Barack Obama's Official 2009 Inauguration Single here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbYVIeB4rEs Her smash song, "Believe" in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King and Barack Obama can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GCxgeHrn5Q&feature=related LaDeana Michelle's efforts are garnering worldwide exposure. She IS the way. A relative of the legendary Sam Cooke and the late Eddie Kendricks (Temptations) this exotic beauty and Oakland, California native is not just an artist and entertainer, but an entity. A mogul. Visionary. A Tyler Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Diddy and Kimora Lee Simmons wrapped into one of the most beautiful voices EVER. Her incredible voice (of which I can't really compare it with anyone else's) holds a distinct, unique beauty that will simply grab you and hold you tight. Tupac Shakur fondly nicknamed her "Worldwide" because he always believed that is what she'd be one day and repeatedly told her so. Tupac knew. So did the great Pete Escovedo (Sheila E's wonderparent) who gave her one of the first professional nudges in the business. Be prepared. There's much more than meets the eye. LaDeana Michelle is a timeless, highly intelligent, multi-faceted businesswoman. She strikes like a silent cobra in the night. You don't quite see her coming, but you will feel her impact seemingly out of nowhere. Yes. She has worked with some of the best in the business, but retreated (along with her business partners) to devise an overall master plan for her career--especially after the downward shift in music industry operations. She stepped back and took CONTROL. You are simply gonna love her. She is not just singing, acting, writing, arranging and composing. Nope. This girl is full-fledged PRODUCING. She is NOT playing around. R&B, Neo-Soul, Pop, Gospel, House, Hip-Hop, Rock, Adult Contemporary, Country and even Jazz production capabilities. Screenplays. Video Treatments. Commercial concepts. Jingles. Fashion design. Print modeling. Marketing. Business. Real Estate. Budgeting. I don't have enough print to continue the categories. Bottom line? This diva's got skills. She'll have fans for life. Not to mention, when she enters a room, all heads turn. She could easily BE the next Cover Girl as easily as she could design an entire future line of the company's cosmetics, write several TV commercials for the line and top it off by writing, producing and recording music jingles for it all. HOT. She is long-awaited. I don't think we're ready. LaDeana Michelle, who will finally break her "silence" with an award-worthy worldwide CD release (and THIS disc is BOILING---that VOICE!!), self-made millionaire status through business ventures, several upcoming blockbuster films (there's also talks of a TV show), fashion, fragrance & shoe lines, commercial real estate ventures, humanitarian project efforts and more, is rumored to become one of the world's most influential people of the decade. Forget drinking, smoking, partying couch-hopping and hanging out--at least for this queen. It's a new day. LaDeana Michelle will be our "Barack Obama" of music. People will love her "shine". She stands for positive change--especially when it comes to underprivileged youth and the nation's elderly. A prodigy of sorts, there won't be too much she WON'T do to affect this world once that voice hits all airwaves. Yet, she's just as humble, fun and down-to-earth as she is beautiful (did I mention she had a spectacular voice???) Don't simply take my word for it. This gorgeous young lady's intelligence unmistakably shines through at her first Exclusive Interview here: http://soulconnect.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/ladeanamichelleexclusive/ The days of the true singer/entertainer are back.

THIS is the fantasy poster girl you will definitely pin up and have dreams about and at the same time--the classy full package you'd bring home to meet mama. Can't wait.
