Electro-Funk Singer/Songwriter Raistalla announces US Club Tour

ABOUT RAISTALLA

RAISTALLA has spent the past 5 years as a professional dancer, appearing with some of the top names in the industry such as Madonna, Outkast, Missy Elliott, Alicia Keys, Prince, and Stevie Wonder.

While being surrounded by such talent, Raistalla found herself writing her own songs, and before long, her electro-funk style began to emerge, and the spontaneity and urgency with which she wrote, are reflected in her energetic songs. Her philosophy is simple: "Music isn't about how you should feel; it's about being natural, without boundaries and just following your instincts."

Now, at the age of 23, and with a whirlwind of experience following her, she is ready to take the spotlight. She is currently recording her first album, self –titled “Raistalla”. The 11-track album, due out in summer 2006, will highlight her unique style and diverse musical taste. With producers Kaz Gamble & Justin Filmer also lending their talent to the project, Raistalla sees her debut album as a coming of age record, a testimony to her recent growth and self-exploration. While serious about her work, she keeps youth very close to heart. "I'm all about effortless intensity. I never expected all the opportunities I've had to come my way, but I think they're a result of great chemistry between artists, and part of that is always having fun, and being a kid."
