Izzie Voodoo Performing @ Pink Festival
10th Jul 2008
Put
one girl oozing theatre in a studio with guitars, heavy fuzzy basses,
computers, keyboards effects, a tone of software, production equipment and a
mic or two and what do you get? You get izzie Voodoo.
Dark
electronica pop is what they're tagging it with some industrial stuff thrown in
for good measure and so many twists turns and catchy pop hooks you start to get
light headed. Actually, it's award winning stuff that you can't turn off - she
writes it, records it, programs it, sings and performs it, and her mixing and
production work is second to none.
Live
gigs are dry ice laden, kick-ass, electro-pop affairs, delivered by the slender
studio girl who exudes martial arts confidence and full contact Kick Boxing
prowess, standing unwavering at the front, handing out free black lollipops in
her teasing theatrical garb, and smiling wryly at her audience before devouring
them alive.
They
stand in awe at what has been described as a female Marc Bolan whispering from
under the bed'- flanked in the lights by her new line up with Lawrence Mahmood,
(affectionately known as 'Lol'); a gym stature T.A. man with a cool, menacing
stare and throbbing fretless bass, and Zell, a pretty, dainty, quietly spoken
Goth girl triggering synths and delivering perfect chorus to izzie’s vocal.
By
the age of 13, izzie had spent 10 years reaching teaching levels in various
forms of dance, had clocked up serious amounts of stage performance experience
and learned to read music proficiently. After some time she had her own
art/props/band merchandise business under her belt while gaining backstage,
lighting, live sound and sound mixing
engineering training and teaching herself bass guitar and electric guitar. Soon
her love of music took over and she gave up art to teach herself extensive
computer skills, deciding to concentrate on song writing and perfecting her
music production.
In
2007, izzie Voodoo was named finalist in Song Of The Year for her song ‘Sound’,
picked by some of the biggest names in music including Grammy Award winners and
the track will now be released on 7th July 2008 as her first single
on BasilicaMusic (BASMUS011) and is a great taster for her debut album “ The
Push” (BASMUS005) which is released on July 21st 2008.
The
single is download only and will be available from all major download sites globally.
