D'Luscious..’
: : : : : : : :

Well people looks like we got some new talent hitting the scenes soon, she’s already stormed Canada and now soon she’ll be ready to take over here. I caught up with new talent D’Luscious and found out what she’s all about, you may have heard of her on the Adil Ray show but if not then read on and find out what she has to offer.

What type of genre is you music?
My music is a combination of Hip Hop and R&B

What is your background?
I am 100% east indian, indo -canadian, asian...whatever you want to call it.

How old are you?
22

What is your real name?
Let's stick by D'Luscious for now.

Where are you from?
Vancouver B.C.

 

Who or what has inspired you to join the music industry?
Eversince I've been a child I have studied hip hop and listened to artists like Tupac and Da Brat. At 11 years old I began writing rhymes and practicing my flow to hip hop instrumentals. Since then ain’t nobody stop me, I keep writing and I keep rhyming.

Why is it that the Asian music industry lacks women artists?
Because we ain’t got enough asian women with talent coming out with albums either in the asian industry or in the mainstream. If a women has talent you can't knock her whether she's white, black or indian. I hope I can be able to motivate asian women out there to go out and do it baby, if you think you got what it takes to be an entertainer in the music industry then do it ma' and don't let no one stop you.

What makes you different to other music artists and what is it that you have to offer?
First off I am an east-indian, FEMALE, rapper. Haven't heard too much of that lately. 2nd, I sing all my own hooks. 3rd, ain't nobody but me writing my lyrics and 4rth, I am straight hitting the mainstream industry rather than just targeting the asian music industry cuz that isn't what my music is about. If you listen to my album you'd know what I mean.

What are you currently doing at the moment?
Right now it's all about contacts and exposure. We are organizing a canadian tour at the moment and then coming out to the UK cuz that is really where the love is at. Wus up Adil?

Are you planning on coming out with a music video?
Ofcourse. Nowadays it's all about the video. A video is like a resume these days. It can make you or brake you. The video should be out late spring 2005.

How do you feel about the music videos these days?
HOT!!! It's funny cuz if you look back just a couple of years and see some videos as opposed to the ones now, it's a crazy difference. The videos now are more fun, sexy and 2005, if you know what I mean.

How did you come up with the name D'Luscious?
I like the name D'Luscious. I like the meaning of luscious; adorable, exquisite, rare and flavorsome. All these words describe not only my look but as well as my music.

How did you feel when you first came about releasing your first album?
Was it scary or were you excited?

Scary? No way. Excited barely describes the way I felt. I waited 11
years to do an album. I cried like a baby when I held my first copy in my hand. It was an amazing feeling!

What do you have planned for the future?
To do a world wide tour and sell a lot of albums on my own as an independent artist.

 

Do you plan on working with any of the more up stream artists whether it be Asian or non Asian?
I enjoy working with different artists/producers whether it be asian or non asian. We currently do have plans on doing some bhangra remixes with talented Dj's. Holla if you think you can work with me. Check out www.d-luscious.com

Many thanks to Lorenzo Huges (Manager of D’Lusious) and the leading lady herself. Watch out for this girl she’s going to make things happen.
