This week joining us on shmuFM 99.8fm is singer/rapper Alcee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Born into a musical background, (Alcees grandfather was a well-known artist in Zimbabwe),he got his first flavour of music when he joined the school choir in primary 6. However it was not until upon moving to the UK in 1999 that he truly took his interest further and got involved in different musical projects. Alcee initially started getting into music through a local community programme (Tillydrone Project) to assist kids after school that were interested in playing instruments, singing, rapping, or learning to compose a beat. It was through this that Alcee found his true passion for making music and he began working on his own materials and writing lyrics. As a producer, singer/rapper, songwriter and composer, Alcee has been musically influenced by the whole movement of R'n'B, hip hop and African blend and when growing up, looked up to artists such as Jayz, Usher and Ladysmith Black Mambaza - he still aspires to be as successful as they are today with their talent, dedication and consistency. Without these examples, he wouldn't have the same passion for what he does today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Al-Cee | Free Music, Tour Dates, Photos, Videos
