Direct from Sweden, Kissey Asplund is gearing up to take the U.S. by storm with her unusual brand of Hip Hop/Electronica/Jazz. This past weekend I got to see her perform live at The Bloom Bar in Washington D.C. The venue was small and HOT HOT HOT (like no A/C on a 80+ degrees night hot) but that didn't stop Kissey from giving it her all. Like Erykah or Bjork, Kissey is more of a vocalist than a singer which in my opinion makes her sound even more interesting. A few days before the Washington DC performance Kissey called into my Global Hip Hop show, The Cipher on FLAVA, Worldspace Channel 204. We talked beats, technology and Celene Dion! Check it out.
She's a thirty something Detroit native who calls the Washington DC area her home away from home. Shawna Renee is never afraid to speak her mind, in fact many have accused her of talking way too much (imagine that!). Luckily she's been blessed with the opportunity to make a living doing so. If you're ever looking for Shawna, chances are you'll find her people watching at a local coffee shop, enjoying a spicy dinner at her favorite Indian restaurant or practicing yoga with her trusted sista gurus. Shawna also enjoys the company of her girlfriends who are always more than willing to join her on her search for the perfect handbag, beauty product and vodka gimlet. More than anything Shawna Renee enjoys connecting with the remarkable community of women who log on to Cocoa Mode on-line and tune into Cocoa Mode radio everyday.
