Joining him on the amazing line-up is British R&B/Soul singer, songwriter and poet SHANAZ DORSETT - who set the entire interwebs alight late last year with her critically acclaimed debut EP titled Above The Clouds, as premiered on DJ Premier Blog, which saw her beautifully write and sing over classic DJ Premier productions from "So Ghetto" to "Nas Is Like" to "Boom" and garner massive support from tastemakers such as I Heart Dilla and Hustle GRL.

iEVENT... Untold Songs Launch @ Rich Mix London w/ Heidi Vogel + Tanya Auclair + Yarah Bravo + MORE (Saturday, June 11)


OK before I even begin to talk about this event, I should try to at the very least put it into context for you. This UNMISSABLE event is to launch Untold Songs: Volume One - the 23-track compilation record of songs by female artists from all around the world put together by emerging UK-based Soul Singer Belle and released via Jus Like Music Records in collaboration with Amnesty International in a bid to raise awareness and money for the "Stop Violence Against Women" campaign (majority of the proceeds of the sales of the compilation will be going directly to Amnesty International and this campaign)... 

The compilation record will be released on Monday, June 13 2011 and to celebrate the release of this colossal and painstakingly put-together 23-track opus, we will ALL be heading up to Rich Mix this Saturday (June 11) at 7pm to not only support this great cause BUT also to witness some very amazing performances from the likes of Heidi Vogel, Tanya Auclair, Stac and Yarah Bravo as well as some of our very talented friends - Zayna Daze, Belinda Zhawi - plus some female UK artists we are huge fans of - Sarina Leah, Kersha Bailey - and of course the superwoman that is Belle with DJ support from our very own DJ Su-Prize along side Lucy Pink and you know that's not even the half of it right?
