Renee Asteria Bio:
A Fusion of Steel Pulse and Sade. Uniting Reggae, passionate Latin grooves and Rock, powerful messages and musical genius…
Described as “musically adventurous” and “a one of a kind breaking of all rules” (C. Foster, Reggae Update, getthebeat.com), Renée Asteria’s songwriting reflects her life experience, multicultural background (US-born, Bolivian-Dutch heritage) and strong commitment to justice.
Though currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Renée Asteria has planted musical seeds through out the Americas (Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, USA) and Europe (France, Switzerland). Renée Asteria’s second release “Faces of Agent Double E” (2007, master demo format, CD/Digital) produced with UNIVERZOO (Argentina), marked a stylistic transition by taking her Latin-folk style and weaving it into Reggae.
Released June 1st, 2010, “RAZTERIA”, an ASTERIA RECORDS production. This album features performances by Waddell Bell (bass), Lou Neuburger (drums), Joe Bressler (keys, RIDDIMBANK), Luke Thomas (guitar, Eenik, Los Angeles) and Mbutshu Yindja (harmonies, Congolese American singer, aka Godé).
RAZTERIA feature tunes include: “ILLEGAL” – a Roots-Reggae, Abyssinians-style tune dedicated to the struggle of immigrants and “RISK”, a Reggae tune promoting a message of safe sex and HIV/AIDS prevention. |
