"In the Artist's Studio" features independent artists from various musical genres performing and discussing in an intimate setting. The event offers attendees a full experience that is one part performance, and one part live interview conducted by "Going out Guru" Rhome Anderson of washingtonpost.com. In each edition, the featured artists not only shares her or his story, but also offers insight into what it means to be an independent artist in the 21st century. This edition will feature Stax recording artist N'dambi.
N’dambi grew up singing in her parents’ church while playing the piano and clarinet at home. While studying English at Southern Methodist University she met fellow Texan Erykah Badu and the two became friends resulting in N’dambi touring as a background singer as well as a co-writer on Erykah’s Badu’s albums Baduizm and Mama’s Gun.
Aided by her recognition and accolades while performing with Ms. Badu, N'dambi layed claim to her own stylistic turf by independently releasing her critically-acclaimed debut album, Little Girl Blues , her sophomore project, Tunin Up & Cosign and the Japanese release A Weird Kinda Wonderful. All albums received international recognition resulting high profile publicity and performances throughout the United States, Japan, Europe and Africa.
With her soulful vocal instrument N’dambi rekindles our relationship with soul music flawlessly with insightful lyrics and tight arrangements that resound the energies of past soul sisters like Nina Simone, Tina Turner and Chaka Khan. Her debut Stax project Pink Elephant will be released in Fall 2009.
Beginning in July, LiL SoSo Productions and Smirnoff will partner for the "Be YOU" series. Using two of LSP's signature events, "Soul Overdose" and "In the Artist's Studio", the series will run highlight monthly events featuring independent artists in some of DC's most interesting venues.
In addition to the live music and culture, limited edition "Be YOU" jump drives have been created that will give the owner access to downloadable treats (mixes, pictures and video, etc,) at every event and also special discounted pricing for entry into every "Be YOU" event.
