THE BLVCK BUTTAFLY

     When a caterpillar breaks from their cocoon, it’s a moment of transformation. The powers of a butterfly and their wings are often underestimated. At the right point in time and space, with just the flap of their wings, a butterfly could send a hurricane from New Mexico to China. THE BLVCK BUTTAFLY is reminiscent of a butterfly and it’s life after metamorphosis. Her Rhythmic Pop sound and baby Usher moves bring a fresh sound and an energy that the music industry has been missing. Since the age of 9, the Bi-Lingual Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Dancer has had a stride of determination that could outrun any Olympic Gold medalist.

     Inspired by musical elements from her hometown, Baltimore, MD, and music her grandparents and teen-aged parents introduced to her as a child, you can hear every piece of inspiration in her music. Music industry heavy hitters such as Usher, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Billie Holiday, Ru Paul, Lauryn Hill, Chris Brown, Missy Elliott, Sisqó, P!nk, Jay-Z, Brandy Aaliyah, Tupac, and Selena have left a long lasting impression on her musical canvas. When creating music, THE BLVCK BUTTAFLY always aims to keep people on the dance floor and talking about the elements of love. She firmly believes that love and the dance floor is universal and has no expiration date. 

     While she is known to bring love to the dance floor, she is not shy about implementing social issues into her lyrics. Strongly influenced by musicians who practiced activism such as Billie Holiday, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, and a list of others, THE BLVCK BUTTAFLY makes no mistake in sending a message through her music, and using her platform to fight for what’s right. As you watch THE BLVCK BUTTAFLY on-stage, you witness the spread of her wings, as she dances from one corner to the other with her self-designed microphone stand.

     INTO THE COCOON is the debut EP by THE BLVCK BUTTAFLY. The project offers listeners an immersive experience, as the songs sculpt an energetic, unbounded, mystic, uprising and mind-exploring world.  From her conscious vocals on the sultry electric guitar chords, “BROWN SKIN”, to her high energy vocals on the 808 knockin’ and body movin’ track, “THE WORKOUT”, the project is a complete body of work. After absorbing the frequencies from INTO THE COCOON, you will find that love never leaves the dance floor, and that without change there is no progress. But most of all, you will always remember that every caterpillar turns into a BUTTAFLY.
