Update #2: The Collaborations!

Posted on December 13

Peace Everyone!

You see OUR total is slowing climbing.  I am not concerned with the rate at which it climbs as long as by the 22nd it says 8,500!  And I know it is going to happen.

Just wanted to let you all know that I just finished a Skype session with T'Keyah Crystal Keymah (In Living Color, Cosby, That's So Raven).  Many don't know but she is also a poet and vocalist.  We will be joining our creative energies on a song for the album!  It promises to be amazing!  There is another surprise connected with that but I have to keep it under wraps for now.

Also look for collaborations on the project with Reginald Prince, Randevyn, Cleveland, Keite Young & Rhonda Thomas!

I want you to be excited and spread the word to your family, friends and network!

LOVE!!!!

Update #1: 2 WEEKS TO GO! LET'S DO THIS!

Posted on December 8

Ok....so I have been working...in the lab...so excited!!!!

Many of those who know me know that I have been an undercover singer as well as a spoken soul artist.  I am coming out of hiding.  I wrote a song for me and my song-brother Randevyn to collab on and there is not a bit of poetry in it.  The song is awesome and I can't wait for all of you to hear it.

Started writing a song last night with Reginald Prince...he who I call The Voice.  You have seen him grace the stage alongside me providing the vocal backdrop for what I do.  

Keite Young and I are writing our song...a Keite Young & Fhena collabo?????  Am I even ready for that????

Went to Soul Sound Studios a couple of months back...had a song to give to Al the owner and producer and his brother singer and key master Tony.  Duane Covert happened to be there so I threw him in the booth to do the backing vocals...Tony got in on those too.  The result was a ruff track that is really really really really....Fhena.  Wanna hear it????  Here it is!  Not right here actually...but below.  It is entitled "In The Wind".

So let's reach out together to everyone we know who appreciates artistry and a vibration of love & healing!  We can do this!!!!

LOVE!!!!

Connected as Fhena Baht Israel (1011 friends)

Few artists have the ability to merge spirituality, musicality, cultural identity and a fire performance factor into the genre of spoken word. As a poet, singer, and former musician, Fhena does just that. Her writing has the ability to stir emotions, provoke thought, and bring spiritual enlightenment in her unique blend of spoken word, instrumentation and vocals which she calls Spoken Soul. She has performed across the United States, Ghana, Israel & Antigua. "My mission is to utilize spoken soul to inspire thought, growth and discovery of the highest self. I want my words to penetrate the heart and mind bringing healing, clarity and understanding."
