Bio-Supamodel Joelee is a Hip Hop/Dancehall Reggae recording
artist. My colorful lyrics, and my savvy flow and delivery are my trademark. My
range, fierceness and versatility help me bring across in my music sounds that
no artists have ever been able to fully master. I am able to fuse two of the
most dynamic cultures, and I do it well. “I’m bringing hip hop back to its
roots, which is dancehall reggae”. Being from Kingston,
Jamaica and base in New York City, I am able
to draw the best influences from both genres.
I realized I had an unwavering love for the sound of music
and instruments at a very young age. I remember going to church with my
grandmother and listening to her sing, and being fascinated by the sound of the
tambourine. “I think my big voice comes from my grandmother’s influences. She
had one of the loudest singing voice I have ever heard.”
By my teen years, I began writing poems that turned into
songs. I carried a hardcover book and pen where ever I went, and would blurt
out singing to whomever would listen. I also entered several local talent
shows. “Growing up, there was so much turmoil in my life, and music was my
saving grace (safe haven). I didn’t have a television, so I kept myself
entertained with writing and singing”. I was faced with many adversities on the
journey to my music career, but I was not deterred. I knew I was destined for
great things.
In my late teen, I started a career in modeling while
simultaneously pursuing a music career. “Being on stage for the first time at a
fashion runway show, I was electrified… finally somewhere I belong”. At that
moment I realized that I loved being on stage, and fell head over heels with
entertaining people.
My music career turned professional in 2008 when I signed
with music label DAGCK. DAGCK saw my potential as an artist with worldwide
marketable attributes. Living in Jamaica, my immediate influence in
sound was Dancehall Reggae. Therefore, before my music would first be
introduced to markets outside of Jamaica, I knew I needed a fresh
new sound that compliments my Supamodel image. That led to me fusing Hip Hop
with Dancehall Reggae.
I first showcased my complimentary rap/dancehall reggae
style and flow with the release of “Model Chic” in 2012. “Model Chic” was well
received by DJs, radio stations, and music listeners; most of whom often
described Supamodel Joelee as being “different and unique”. In 2013, a Model
Chic promotional tour was launched across the southern and northeastern United States.
During 2014, I spent most of my time writing, recording and honing my craft.
In summer 2015, I released my latest single “PFAT” produced
by DAGCK and DJ D Live. “PFAT” is sexy, yet powerful, and allows women to feel
good about themselves while “twerking” out in the clubs or at home. “PFAT” has
been generating a buzz on social media, and an official video directed by Mills
Miller has been released. “PFAT” official music video is sexy and captivating,
and is sure to leave you in euphoric awe.
I am currently in the studio working on several singles to be
released in fall 2015 and spring 2016. These releases are a step closer to my
ultimate goal of releasing my mixtape or EP.
“I do music for everyone! No matter where you’re from you
should be able to rock-out to one of my songs. I am coming with fire so be
prepare”.
