LONDON, UK (FNIK PR/ Brainwash Records/ www.deeyah.com) - Recently touted by the Sunday Times as 'the next big thing',
Deeyah is set to cause waves with her debut UK single 'Plan of My Own', due to be released on 31st January 2005. Born in Norway and living between the UK and US, Deeyah's influences are varied and range from
Madonna to Dr Dre to Metallica. This is no ordinary singer and
Deeyah can't wait to unleash her unique contemporary pop sound to the UK.
Deeyah wrapped up an amazing and successful tour across the UK in June & July, 2004 where she connected with her ever-growing fan base and performed live sets in front of thousands. She has spent the past year working with the legendary producer,
Darin Prindle, who has worked with Destiny's Child, TLC, Madonna, Jermaine Dupri,
Boyz II Men and Usher.
Darin says, 'Deeyah is a star in every sense of the word. She has talent, drive, beauty and most of all, intelligence which you must have in order to stay at the top once you get there."
In August 2004, she split her time between L.A. and Atlanta in the USA shooting a fantastic video for 'Plan of My Own' with the award-winning director, John Lindauer whose past clients include Lauryn Hill, Mary J Blige, Lisa Stansfield, and
Christina Aguilera to mention a few. The video has already caused a stir and is already receiving constant plays on the Box (No 210), Channel U (No 111) as well as others.
No stranger to success, having conjured up two critically acclaimed albums in Norway,
Deeyah is here for the long haul and ready to let her talent run wild. The sexy popstress has the whole package and we can't wait for her to be unwrapped.
The brilliant new single, double A-sided 'Plan of My Own/I Saw You' will be released in the UK in January 2005 followed by the album also entitled 'Plan of My Own' via Brainwash Records.
