La Veda

La Veda, born in Miami, FL, realized her love of music at the age of 7 and soon began writing and singing. Exposed to Leontyne Price by her father, she developed this hunger to sing opera first, then on to jazz and r&b.

Featured in TRACE magazine's 1998's Women in Music issue along with Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, Erykah Badu, and Janet Jackson, claiming the number nine (#9) spot. Not being confined to only singing, La Veda uses spoken word to help develop her songwriting skills and craft. In 1999, she took part in the Double Talk 3, Hip-Hop & Rap/Poetry festival in Amsterdam, featuring BAHAMADIA.

La Veda has performed in major music cities, such as Washington D.C., New York City, Amsterdam, Paris and Miami; and has recorded with Dwanye Bastiany, Richard Joseph, Kimani Wilson, The Old Nationals, King Sporty, Bobby Caldwell, Kavayah, Joan Pau Buil, Juan Pablo, Marc Cary, as well as Tricky, Macarldi Nibbs, Asaada, Tawk, and Dana Byrd who feature her as a lead vocalist.

2009 will turn out to be a busy year for her with collaborations to be released from Line Noise, Kenny (The Human Orchestra) Muhammad, Barrington Williams, Kimani Wilson, Markland, H-Dot, Nitedemon, Visions, Daniel Pinks, Trevor Goodchilde, DJ Aladdin, Cudda Brown and The Undah-Dub!!
