Have u heard ever of a singer named Temmora?

Answer 1

Temmora's engaging blend of hip-hop, R&B, and jazz gives her work more emotional content than one would expect from so young an artist. Then again, perhaps this depth and maturity is inevitable from someone who has been honing her skills in the church choir since the tender age of five. Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, the "birthplace of the blues" and home to numerous jazz, soul, and rock legends, Temmora claims songbirds Phyllis Hyman, Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Janet Jackson, hip-hop diva Mary J. Blige, and funk-soul innovator Eryka Badu, as her personal muses. "Growing up I listened to a little of everything. I even liked folk music," she says with an appreciative laugh. But of all these musical influences, the one that has inspired her the most is her mother, who passed away three years ago. Once dreaming of stardom herself, Temmora's mother passed her love of the performing arts to her daughter, leaving her with an impressive legacy. A child of both the gospel and the blues, young Temmora was enrolled in ballet classes at the age of three and later studied modern dance and jazz. As an adolescent she performed with her high school mass choir and competed in statewide competitions, while taking formal voice lessons for jazz and opera. Temmora's natural talent and professional discipline soon garnered the attention of music scouts who recognized her ability. She continued her educational studies while balancing performances in a variety of venues, including city-wide talent shows, music festivals, and appearances with local bands at art receptions and political events. Her first and foremost love is performing live. "I love the energy of the audience," says Temmora. The past three years have been spent polishing her talents as both songstress and songwriter. Temmora has co-written many of her own tracks and collaborated on the production, drawing on her diverse musical background and training to experiment with the unconventional, she now has an extensive library of original songs. The result: not your typical hip-hop soul or watered down crossover R&B. Her true-to life lyrics are genuine and sincere and hold mass appeal, while her seductive voice captures the listener. "I want you to feel something with my music," says Temmora, when asked why she sings. "I want to be the kind of artist who is always a step ahead." With her vocal range, versatility, sultry stage persona, and the memory of her mother's faith and love behind her, there is little doubt that Temmora will do just that.Once dreaming of stardom, Temmora's mother shared her love of the performing arts with her daughter, leaving her with an impressive legacy-an abiding love for music and art. A child of both the gospel and the blues, young Temmora was enrolled in ballet classes at the age of three and later studied modern dance and jazz. As an adolescent she performed with her high school mass choir and competed in statewide competitions. Inspired by her mother's dream, Temmora devoted her time to cultivating her vocal talents, developing a voice and range that would lead her to explore many different musical traditions. But it was the excitement of performing and the relationship she formed with her listeners that became the driving force behind this young artist. "I love the energy of the audience," says Temmora, who is as comfortable on the stage as she is in the studio. Fortunately, her genuine passion for music making did not go unnoticed. Temmora's natural talent, sultry, kinetic stage presence, and professional discipline soon garnered the attention of music scouts who quickly recognized her ability to excite audiences and move them with her gifted voice.

With her mother's dream in mind and years of dedication and inspired musical experimentation behind her, Temmora has spent the past three years polishing her talents as both songstress and songwriter. After a successful Southeastern regional tour, where she enjoyed jam-packed community, mall and retail store appearances as well as word-of-mouth appeal, Temmora presents her long-awaited debut album, Talk to Me. Fusing jazz, blues, country, R&B and hip hop, Talk to Me is a soulful compilation that transcends genre, gender, and cultural lines.'

In this first album, Temmora wanted to bring the energy and intimacy of her stage performances to the studio. What she offers is new music with widespread appeal. Her songs cross boundaries and meet the ears of listeners, touching them in ways that are memorable and meaningful. Mindful of this important relationship, Temmora has co-written many of her own tracks and collaborated on the production, drawing on her diverse musical background and training to experiment with the unconventional. In Talk to Me, each song is an intimate conversation, an ongoing dialogue Temmora is having with the listener. In these works Temmora sings with candor and intensity, inviting listeners to join her on a personal journey, inviting them to witness some of what she has seen and experienced.

The result is music that is as soulful as it is relevant. For example,"Catch Me If I'm Falling," a love song at first blush, Temmora sings about someone who has reached the end of the line, and yet these same words could be heard as a plea for spiritual guidance or a cry for help. In "Why," she sings with the anguish of broken promises and a relationship gone bad, and yet, she bounces back with a renewed focus in "I'll Love Someone Later," a country/blues song Temmora re-imagined with her own unique vocal styling. But relationships aren't the only focus of her lyrical terrain. Temmora exposes personal posturing in "Try'n to Play a Player" and social elitism in "I'm Not Impressed," her answer to the rampant materialism of today's hip hop culture. In all of her songs, Temmora's vocals are front and center, her emotion clearly expressed in every note and inflection. Nowhere is this best embodied than in her soul-stirring rendition of the classic, "Mary, Did You Know?" With its lush strings and acoustic guitar, Temmora has brought audiences to tears with her evocative cover of this song. myspace.com/temmora
