ASTRID BIO



All the way from La Isla Del Encanto Puerto Rico, to the good ol U.S. of A, comes Astrid with her debut album Dont Worry, the first female artist from the exciting new indie label, Street Life Worldwide Entertainment Group. Urban and pop music by Latin artists has exploded around the globe, but while most Latin female singers in urban music are promoted as either sex symbols or thugettes, Astrid is taking a different approach.



I want to make sure that my music says something of substance. I want to make sure if a kid looks up to me as a role model, that it will be a good thing and not a bad thing. Every song on the radio is actually preaching something, whether we want to admit it or not. Unfortunately, so much of whats out there today is negative to the point that it can actually hurt the listeners. I just want to bring a positive balance to the game. So I choose to make music that promotes ideas and values that will help people deal with their daily struggles - music that will give them answers to their problems. And then of course something for when they just want to jam some good music.



Just as fire forges steel, learning from struggles makes us stronger and wiser. Astrid is a living example of this truth. The young talented beauty has overcome depression, suicide and family breakdowns at a young age, and is now undeniably destined for stardom. At the young age of thirteen, in Houston, TX, she began singing in church services hosted by the popular hustler-turned-evangelist known as Levi. Levi had a vision to create a new kind of music that would bring peace to the hearts of young men and women living the street life. So he started up Street Life Worldwide Entertainment Group, and at the age of fifteen, Astrid became one of the first acts signed to the label.



Our visions are the same. For an artist like me, with my message, it could be hard to find a label that would let me do what I need to do. I cant deny that God is the reason for my past and future success, and the reason that I am even still living today, and I want to tell people that, because I believe it will help them. But at the same time, Im not the kind of person to be preachy all the time.



For the past five years, Astrid has been singing professionally. She has also toured nationally with a stageplay, and she recently made her feature film debut in PAIN, a movie that will be distributed nationally and internationally in 2005. Astrid has been using her gift to bring smiles to the faces of people in both the highest and lowest places. She has performed in clubs, churches, schools, jails, bootcamps, carshows, blockparties, professional parties, the list goes on. And to top off, Astrid is also bilingual, fully fluent in Spanish.



With a production team lead by platinum selling producer Crazy C, Astrids music has the quality and diversity to grab the ears of all types of listeners. Her melodic and soulful voice stretches across the spectrum, gently riding the rhythms of ballads and, at other times, singing hard-edged vocals over hip hop beats. Her CD also contains influences of jazz, gospel and even salsa.



When it comes to live performances, Astrid shines as well as she does on her CD. No studio tricks here. With her live band, Astrid delivers a powerful performance, overflowing with energy, passion, emotion and quality entertainment. Her musical diversity on stage has captivated lovers of soul, Hip Hop, R&B, jazz, salsa, gospel and even rock.



Astrid is a complete artist that will be touching the ears and hearts of people worldwide. Be on the lookout --- www.astridsite.com.
