This is where the Hip Hop and R&B scene
in the UK began to achieve the respect and
accolades it has long deserved. Still in their
early 20’s and armed with unique lyrical
flows and soulful sound, Northstar brings
their own unique flavor to the global music
scene.
Top
notch music agents in the UK have given their
seal of approval by saying, “Northstar’s
raw lyrics and honesty are a godsend –
they are a refreshing change to see as breakthrough
urban artists.”
Created
some three years ago, the four member group
includes cofounders C1 and Wesley as well
as Spray and Chyna. They have developed their
song writing skills over the last several
years covering their own life experiences
to their future, hopes and dreams. Their music
has an increasingly reflective quality by
drawing from their own lives and mind states
in a way that few other groups, regardless
of nationality and background, have done before.
As Chyna puts it, “We want to turn things
around and make a positive impact on society
– what you do today will make a difference
to your future.”
Northstar
proudly writes and composes their own lyrics
from their own personal experiences having
grown up in the same area of London.
The
group is young but far from new to the industry.
They have been writing for over six years
– their talent clear for the world to
see, though in the early days they could not
see it themselves! Chyna has been writing
poems and mesmerizing her fellow peers with
her angelic voice for years.
With
a prominent place in the global underground
music circuit for the last three years, Northstar
has spent time cultivating and growing their
talents. They have put a massive amount of
effort into seeing their music grow, which
in turn has developed their strong and focused
personality. Northstar has been through many
difficult trials and tribulations that has
significantly contributed to their developed
content and musical expression.
The
streetwise artists have already performed
around the world and have opened shows for
the likes of chart topping Lisa Maffia and
Platinum selling artists such as Memphis Bleek
and Christina Aguilera.
On
the Rise:
This song combines a smooth blend of Hip Hop
flows with a fresh, soulful production sound.
On the Rise is the first promo track taken from
the new up and coming urban artist Northstar.
This is a showcase of un-manufactured, global
urban music at its best – Northstar
has already been identified as the one to
watch in 2006 by several industry insiders
in the US and Europe.
Northstar’s
On the Rise video has already spent 4 weeks
as NUMBER ONE on UK’s all request Channel
U, and spent several weeks at the top of the
charts on MTV Base. The group has toured Europe
for the past year including venues in Malaga,
Athens, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Berlin, Stuttgart,
Majorca, Wales, London and Cambridge. They
have also done shows with Coolio and Rocafella
Records.
