It contains 4 original compositions. You can hear us on stage in Parisian clubs, on YouTube and on all streaming platforms.

Why I Completely Changed My Sound and Look - Adekunle Gold
Adekunle Gold has been around! When he broke unto the Nigerian music scene with his hit single Sade, Adekunle Gold did a good job of following up the success of that song with other smash hits such as Orente, Ariwo Ko, and Pick Up. He was hailed at the time as the next King Sunny Ade because he sang heavily in Yoruba, and leaned very much into that highlife type of sound.

Hunnie B and the Queens
Shelly Bourgeois' bio brought a smile to my face and I'll tell you why after you read it .... "Shelly Bourgeois is the lead singer of Hunnie B and the Queens, and is originally from New York. She started guitar and voice lessons when she was 4 years old from her Aunt who was in a band. She has 3 children and two horses that she loves spending time with. She is currently working on a new product so be sure to stay posted!!" In my opinion, Bourgeois is a very talented singer-songwriter and, yes, I'm basing that off of one song. What made me smile is that her bio is, for lack of a better word, so simple. I guess I was expecting a more unabridged version. Anyway, I say keep the bio simple and keep the music coming, Shelly Bourgeois ....
