Биография

Originally from Quebec and Jamaica and frequently traveling to the United States, MODLEE has been greatly influenced by jazz, soul, R&B, gospel and reggae. On April 15, 2022, MODLEE presents her new album SOUL URGE. This is the fruit of a visionary, one-of-a-kind coproduction from MODLEE and her producer Vlooper. It shares stories tinged with inner healing and bearing a message to the other. The album pulses on the foundations of its hip-hop and electro influences and the expansion of soul fusion styles. SOUL URGE immerses you in a parallel universe of Rhythm and Blues and lulls you with MODLEE’s velvety vocalizations and imagination. It’s a hymn to beauty, growth, and surrendering to your inner desires—the desires of the heart and soul. Her release roster includes her breakthrough 2010 debut EP, ANALOG LOVE, her 2017 opus, Queendom Mix Tape, as well as the SUNWALK project from the Californian label Soulection, and a multitude of collaborations — including with rapper Eman on “Back to Me,” Alaclair Ensemble on “436,” rapper KNLO on “FANTAISIE,” and more. Weaving together musical styles that have long been marginalized in Quebec (hip-hop and R&B) throughout her singular journey, MODLEE has been developing her art for more than a decade and had contributed to a rich cultural diversity. The singer is a source of positive inspiration that embodies what it means to be a positive role model, have a seat at the table, and express yourself in a distinctive, authentic voice.
