Bio ~ "Goapele possesses a most alluring and powerful voice that defies categorization, injecting poignant words with both soul and substance. The dread-headed beauty who was influenced as equally from Etta James, Nina Simone, Billy Holiday, Bob Marley and Prince as she was by Miriam Makeba, Zulu Spears and Hugh Masekela is introducing herself to the world as an artist, vocalist, musician and non-conformist. For a woman whose name means 'to go forward' in Tswana, the South African language of her grandmother, Goapele lives up to her name. Collaborating with a bevy of musical craftsmen, the Bay Area native's debut effort, Even Closer is the fruit of Goapele's labor and inspiration, a 14-track album she co-wrote and co-produced on both the East and West coasts. She brings a well-needed enigmatic presence to a mundane industry that is devoid of innovative magic and fascination, but thick with semblance. Her signature of throaty moans and nostalgic lyrical poetry evoke all things old yet somehow manages to be refreshingly new. Whether you catch her on MTV or gracing the pages of Vibe and Rolling Stone, she continues to draw in a diverse range of fans from Shaquille O'Neill to Prince." - Skyblaze / Columbia artist
