Voodoo
Doll have already worked well-known producers
such as BigPockets, (Liberty X's 'Just a
Little'), The Ignorants (Craig David's 'What's
Your Flava'), 19 year old Guz fresh from
multi platinum selling success in his native
Australia, Femi Fem (The Young Disciples),
Rishi Rich, Kgee (The All Saints), JD (So
Solid), Imran Hanif (Dead Relative) and
street producers Prash, and The Sona Family.
They have also worked with top songwriters
Savan Kotechi, Ali Tenant, Celicia and Elizabeth
Troi.
Each
member brings their own vibe to the group: Nosh, with her diverse
influences, can listen to anything from Eminem to Kylie. Known as
the 'harmony queen' in the group, she harmonises instinctively over
anything. 'She has a very good ear', Ayesha says. 'She can just
tell immediately if something's out.' Nosh's characteristic and
sexy voice hits the right cord to send you leaping off your chair
and straight to the dance floor.
Jay,
appears at first, to have the cool and laid back attitude but underneath
this exterior lies a passionate and focused girl just wanting to
make credible tunes. 'Jay has this intriguing quality about her',
Nosh says, 'her voice, her performance - one word, smooth.' This
is true, her silky velvet voice takes you back to an era of big
bands and smoky cafes. Her jazz and blues influences such as the
classics like Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald are noticeably evident
in her style. She simply adds the soul to Voodoo Dolls songs.
Ayesha,
the baby of the group at 18, writes and composes songs on the piano.
'Her passion for music is evident in everything she does', Jay says,
'She can't help but feel it'. Her voice has a powerful captivating
tone that fights the battle of not becoming the same moulded product
of the music industry. 'What people try and do these days is try
and control the music', she says, 'when you really just have to
let it control you.' Studying music at The Academy of Contemporary
Music, she says she has grown a respect for music of all genres
and hopes Voodoo Doll will be able to fuse their influences together
to create a unique sound.
We
want to try everything because we feel we can, Jay says, music shouldn't
have any limitations'. Nosh agrees, 'I feel we're just getting started.
Where we are now musically, is in a different league from where
we began.'
The
first Asian girl band set to change the stereotypes and place a
fresh and exciting sound into the mainstream charts. 'It's been
a roller coaster of emotions, musical struggle and hard work', says
Ayesha, 'and that's only the beginning'. And what a beginning it
is!
