Ambelique biography, Ambelique discography
Born Owen Silvera in Kingston, Jamaica, Ambelique wrote Tinga Stewart's first song at a young age.He left Kingston when he was young and grew up in New York and Massachusetts, California.She took the name from the Swahili word Ambeliquekahleh which means "God called me".Ambelique's early influences came from Reggae, R'n'B and Jazz and singers like Ken Booth, Ken Parker and Dave Parker.He shared the bill with the likes of Chuck Jackson while working with Hugh Hendrix.Going to so many places on tour has not been without its problems, the most memorable one being when Ambelique was in a car accident.If Ambelique had not decided back in 1995 to take his singing to a professional level he would probably have continued in his work as a loan officer with the Lloyds Bank of California.When asking Ambelique if he feels that it's harder for a singer than a DJ to break into the business his response is, "The DJs have controlled this thing for such a long time because they appeal to a younger generation and it is hype and catchy and all that and it's a lot easier for someone to become a DJ.It's easier for a DJ to be successful but it's harder for him to sustain that success.Ambelique doesn't restrict himself to targeting one particular audience because he believes that "Music transcends age and ethnicity and all that stuff.Like many Reggae artists Ambelique has tried singing live on a sound system.It was when I just went to Jamaica and it was on Stone Love.Ambelique has worked with Clive Hunt, Blackbeard and Jet Star, to name a few.He's collaborated with Chevelle Franklin on 'La Bamba' and 'Our Prayer, 'which both feature on his album, 'Love's Got A Hold On You'.Reggae music is ever evolving and Ambelique welcomes this "as long as it's positive I think it's all good".Ambelique's biggest singles are the ones that he voiced in England namely, 'Sheriff In Town' and 'Bluer Than Blue'.The success of the album appears to have had a knock on effect and as a result his first album, which was released on the Taxi label, 'Ambelique Sings The Classic', has taken off."It's just like they can't keep it in the stores".Ambelique sees his opportunities as limitless and just wants to keep going and says "I'm not satisfied by no means.The work that I've done for Jet Star as propelled me, it's made me a household name, I think now, in Britain and in some parts of Europe I hope and that's what I've heard".Orlando Sinclair, Ambelique's manager and producer has decided to ride of the crest of Ambelique's success and negotiations for are a new album are well under way.Ambelique's continuing ambition is to make each album and each record better than the one he did and from what I have heard he appears to be well on target.He seems to practice what he preaches and advises, "Don't allow anybody to rain on your parade as far as your dreams are concerned.Pursue them with vigour but with humility".To share this media with a friend, you must have AIM installed.What: Her energy infused Sessions performance.Hear Ambelique and similar artists on this channel.Various Artists
