Bio / Background
So many artists today claim to be progressive, but Shelley Nicole’s blaKbüshe are the living, breathing embodiment. Shelley Nicole is equal parts vocalist, songwriter and bassist making blaKbüshe it’s own mash-up. Imagine Nona Hendryx meets Black Sabbath or Janis Joplin meets Grace Jones and there you will find the blaKbüshe experience. It is a blend best described by Shelley Nicole as SolaRoc; combining elements of rock, funk, soul and beyond.
Hailing from Newton, MA, Shelley Nicole began singing and playing piano at the age of five. Since her arrival on the New York music scene she’s made Brooklyn, NY home. Shelley Nicole’s blaKbüshe was formed out of nothing less than love in 1999. Since then the band has performed at hot spots all over New York City, the southeast and Europe including B.B. King Blues Club & Grill, The Blue Note, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and the Mau Mau Bar (London).
↓ more ↓blaKbüshe has been called reminiscent of the Soul/Pop recording group Labelle. Even Labelle member Sarah Dash agrees saying, “blaKbüshe is not to be overlooked. They are going places.” Opening for Erykah Badu at the Tea Party in Brooklyn and recording with KRS-One confirms that she is on her destined path.
Before putting her band together, Shelley Nicole released “Being Me” (1998) on Imani/King Street Records. The song topped charts in London and received critical acclaim in New York and Europe’s dance music scene. Club DJs still spin “Being Me” today. Shelley Nicole is also the founder of Red Butterfly Music the label though which she released her debut album, she who bleeds….
Author and Associate Professor of Black Popular Culture at Duke University Mark Anthony Neal says, “On she who bleeds… Nicole created a vibrant synthesis of Rock and Jazz, which ultimately aimed to tweak the staid sensibilities of both mainstream America and the gatekeepers of African-American culture and identity.” D-Rock-SOUL-Jah (WRFG 89.3 FM, Atlanta) says “[Shelley Nicole’s blaKbüshe] is definitely the future of Soul music. Her sound is ‘progressive’ rock n’ soul…giving birth to a Nu Breed of conscious artists.” Get ready to experience a musical revolution. Get ready for blaKbüshe!
