L.A.D.É. made up of Francesca, LaReece and Jo are multi-talented singers, songwriters and overall performers who were hand picked from both the UK and USA by Simon Webbe of the hugely successful band Blue. These girls have always been destined to work in the music industry thanks to their natural musical abilities, which have been perfected with training at some of the top music and dance academies worldwide. With each girl and their manager Simon, sharing the same passion for music, they have produced intelligently written, well produced tracks, making them serious contenders to match the successful R&B and pop groups of the moment.

LaReece, exuding beauty, confidence and raw talent is already experienced in the music industry, having previously been a signed artist over the Atlantic. LaReece has been recognised by well known artists and industry people alike as a diamond in the rough and has already worked with recording and producing gurus like Melvin Riley of ‘Ready for the World’ and rap sensation Bone Thugs N Harmony to name but a few. In 2002, Simon came into the hair salon where LaReece was working. He heard LaReece singing to herself and immediately wanted to hear more. Simon was totally impressed with LaReece’s exceptional style and delivery and her gritty, hard hitting, truthful lyrics used in her rap sequences. LaReece will be touring the UK with Blue as they promote their latest single ‘Bubblin’ on which LaReece performs the rap section.

Francesca’s talents were spotted at an early age and all those around her knew that when at just 10 years of age she performed in a group called ‘Knia’, this passionate and driven girl was destined for big things. She perfected her talents by training at the Las Vegas Academy where her flawless dance and performance skills ensured she would graduate as one of their star pupils. Her successes and achievements there were many, even becoming student of the year for music. It was December 2002 when Fran received a phonecall that would change her life. A friend asked her to travel to Los Angeles as soon as possible to meet with her European friend who happened to be Simon! The day after their meet, she was writing a tune and preparing to fly to London.

Jo trained at the Roshe School of Dancing in West Sussex with further training in London. Jo reached advanced level in 5 disciplines of dance and was awarded the best solo modern dance at the ‘All England Competition.’ Jo was teaching and competing in dance competitions, modelling, and touring the UK as a member of various girl bands, featuring on the same bill as artists like Samantha Mumba and Blue. It was at this time when she caught the attention of a well known record executive who was aware of Simon Webbe’s search to find a final member for L.A.D.É. Jo was an ideal candidate for that third spot and when the girls met their singing and dancing styles instantly meshed.

Simon has tactfully completed the formula for a uniquely talented fresh new girl band, needed to fill that gap in the market. L.A.D.É. is a group which combines a credible urban sound with a hint of pop that will also appeal to the mainstream record buying public. The girls’ different looks and styles blend as well as their harmonies. Through their music, L.A.D.É. hope to represent the strengths and aspects of being a woman.

L.A.D.É. have already produced a mixed batch of music with a variety of slow jams and fast numbers instantly demonstrating their wide ranging appeal. ‘Shake It Off’ is a hip-hop driven track with a load of raw street edge that culminates in this energy driven number. The sexy beats and lyrics of ‘Sprinkle Me’ and ‘Bounce’ contrast to the moody and atmospheric sound of ‘Like You Used To’. The sheer quality of these tracks is apparent to anyone with an ear and appreciation for original talented artists. With its solid rap intro, catchy hook and pulsating beats, ‘Dirty Dance’ is a sure fire club banger and is certain to be well received by all DJ’s. ‘Wondering’ displays the excellent sweet vocals of the girls and we are fully able to see how their dreamy vocals compliment each other. This super smooth number is sung with such soulful intensity that it evokes emotions in all its listeners.

Get ready for the arrival of L.A.D.É… these girls mean business, looking to stay true to their motto and “represent all the different types of ladies from across the world.”  You can catch the latest LOVE 4 MUSIC artists L.A.D.É. as they feature in the ultra sleek new Blue video and top ten hit ‘Bubblin’.
