--Recently signed to Macy Gray's Record Label Moonslice Records, this girl has been in the music industry for all of her life. Honey was born in the same country that spawned big artists like Brian Adams, Deborah Cox, and Hip hop's newest marvel, Drake; Canada. Vancouver B.C raised this young songstress until life brought her to Texas, the home of many hip hop and country artists. She escaped from there to Orlando Florida, home of The 90's pop wave including Brittany Spears, N'sync, and Brian Mcknight. And now she happily calls Brooklyn, New York her home. The span of musical influence clearly goes across the board.
"My mom was a single mother AND a proffesional singer," says the ever vibrant Honey Larochelle.
"Vancouver born, Texas raised, Florida reformed, Brooklyn saved, Denmark adopted, Croatian loved, Miss Honey Larochelle has been making audiences laugh, cry, and jump out of their seats around the world. Fresh off another European tour, "The Urban Honeybee" has been buzzzy in the studio crafting a kaleidoscope of music spanning adventures in love, sex, dance, intimacy, and honesty. "Clean Lust and Dirty Laundry" is a juicy, spicy expose showcasing her crisp, soaring soprano gift and capturing her dynamic songwriting and production skills. Honey collaborated with an amazing line up of producers; Sleep Deez (Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas), Lions Share (Anthony Hamilton, Pharoahe Monch), Caviar (T.I), Danish Reggae producer, Pharfar (Beenie Man), and some up-and-coming geniuses. Her warm yet edgy mash-up of classic soul, hip-hop and electro-pop is sure to make an impact on her listeners, and the industry itself. And with the final touches blended and mixed together by fellow Canadian Super-DJ Miss Erica Dee, you should bee excited. Bee very excited.
Honey Larochelle, the "Urban Honeybee" with a modern-day pin-up girl image, airs out her growth, transition, mistakes, and passions on a clothing line in the yard for the world to see. This is not your average mixtape built on other peoples beats or songs, though there is some of that, the meat of this record is all-original ear candy.
HONEY LAROCHELLE
"The Urban Honey Bee"
Honey started out in a cover band in high school, and now after years of relentless hustle she is performing with the same artists she used to cover including: Joss Stone, Macy Gray, Roberta Flack, The Brand New Heavies, and many others. Her riveting performances have brought this college dropout to packed houses and stages in over twenty countries, and now she is ready to release her first mixtape, "Clean Lust and Dirty Laundry." Finally her fans, whether they be gay or straight, young or old, male or female have the chance to take some Honey home with them.
Beyond performing, Honey's passion for the architecture of music has led to her being hired to either write songs, vocal arrange and/or vocal produce for several artists, like Jennifer Hudson, who says
"I've never seen anything like her. She just asked me a few questions about myself and my life, and next thing you know she had a verse and hook written."
Dubbed the "Urban Honey Bee" from her days as the lead singer of girl group "Urbanesque", Honey's ever changing image always embodies that of a natural yet seductive, modern day pin-up girl. Whether she rocks feathers, lace, fishnets, gowns, or is just chillin' in her jeans, she is always noticed when she walks in a room. Some say it's her inner light that shines bright. Others say it's her undeniable sex appeal. Either way, her presence is felt. And now her voice can be heard.
"Honey is a pure artist. Her voice drips of love and sex. Her words are magic" says good friend and confidant, Macy Gray. Recently, Miss Larochelle and
Miss Gray worked together to release Honey's first single and music video "Work it Out" on Macy Gray's record label, Moonslice Records and Tapes. However, since then, Honey is happy to finally be taking charge of her own, fast growing buzz. Since making the decision to forge ahead alone, she has already been approached by several labels, producers, and licensing companies, all excited to "get in bed" with Honey, as is the norm for this voluptuous beauty. But she's being picky and wants to see folks' "papers" before making any hasty choices. In the meantime, she invites you to "feast on this ear candy."
There's no doubt, Miss Lala is a triple-threat: an amazing singer, songwriter, and musician. With her chameleon-like talents, glowing persona, and passion for the stage, Honey Larochelle is a name to remember and a classic to hold on to. Buzz.
Work It Out (Music Video)
"I love this record because it makes me want to dance, and it's about something real…The long break up, the 'break up on repeat.' We've all been there."
~Honey Larochelle
"She is an undeniable talent," says superstar Jennifer Hudson (dream girls, american idol). "she just asked me a few questions and suddenly had a verse and a hook written!"
"Her songs are magic, and her voice drips of love and sex" says her label owner Macy Gray "That's why I signed her!" Honey has written on several songs on Macy's upcoming album.
Honey's Forth Coming Album "Flight of the Honey B" is a kaleidoscope of music. Summarizing an adventure in love, sex, dance, intimacy, daring.
