SOHH recently caught up with Amanda Diva to shed some light on her new role as poetry spitter in the Grammy-nominated duo, Floetry.
As SOHH previously reported, Diva will join singer Marsha Ambrosius in the new Floetry lineup, replacing former "floacist" Natalie Stewart. Floetry, originally from the UK, made their mark in the States with their 2002 album Floetic, which combined the spoken word of Stewart with Ambrosius's lush vocals. The new duo, which includes Diva, begins a 20-date tour July 26th that will take them across the U.S. With the ladies hitting the road together so suddenly, Amanda Diva explains how the new union came quite unexpectedly for her. "It was a really random," Amanda Diva told SOHH. "My homegirl Angela Yee [Sirius Shade 45] knows Marsha's management and they were talking off the cuff one day and expressed that they were looking to get Floetry back up and runnin. She asked if it was something I'd be interested in. I said, 'Yea of course' and she suggested it to them." From there, it was just a matter of bringing all parties involved together and watching their natural chemistry unfold. "Next thing, I got a call from her management, wanting to meet up," Amanda recalled. "They spit their idea to me, then Marsh and I met. We clicked from jump but we still weren't sure if the tour was for real. A month later we saw the tour dates and it was like, 'Oh @#!*!' We got in the lab in Philly and started working. I already know the cats in the band because they've played for me a couple times in the past so the pieces were there for things to come together." The former MTV personality, who also is an accomplished poet, singer/rapper, as well as Sirius Satellite Radio personality, preferred not to comment on why Stewart and Ambrosius parted ways, telling SOHH only, "In due time folks will know. It's not my story to tell." Amanda Diva confirmed that she and Marsha will also continue separate solo careers, adding, "but as of right now, we've come together because it makes sense." While she hasn't ruled out a future Floetry album by the new lineup, for now Amanda says their full focus is on the tour. "I think for everyone involved that would be great, but first and foremost we're focused on burnin' these shows down and bringing some music to the game," Diva said. Source-sohh |
