N'Dambi's Interview

 

Dallas native N'Dambi is a class act, a singer and songwriter of the highest caliber and an all round beautiful person. She's been singing all her life and upon meeting Erykah Badu when they were younger, they made a promise to each other that was kept (a rarity in this industry) once one or the other made it first. After paying her dues as a background singer for Erykah, N'Dambi ventured out as a solo artist releasing the excelient 'Little Girl Lost Blues' in 1999 followed by her sophomore effort Tunin up and Cosignin. She recently took time out of her busy schedule to answer some of our questions. (interviewed by Angharad Williams)


Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to be here. I'm a huge fan
N'Dambi:

Angharad: You grew up singing at your parents church and your father even had aspirations for you to sing country at a young age (still trying to imagine you being a country singer). Did you know then that you wanted to be a singer or were you following dad's direction?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: Did you enter any talent competitions as a child and if so what was the experience like for you?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: How did you and Erykah Badu (then Erika Wright) meet?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: You became best friends very quickly and made a promise to each other that whom ever made it first would help the other get their career off the ground. Seeing that Erykah made it first, did you have any doubt that she'd keep that promise?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: How did you land with Cheekyi?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: Your name is very unique any specific reason for choosing the 'Most Beautiful' one?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: Your songs are full of passion and life as well as social consciousness and awareness. Where do you draw your inspiration for songwriting?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: What's more important to you - for you to sell a million copies of an album you were not happy with or have an album that you're happy with but didn't fair well?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: Which do you prefer to do, singing live on tour in front of thousands and thousands of screaming fans or being in the studio on a one on one basis?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: 'Tunin up and Cosignin', was released in 2001, are you working on a 3rd album and if so when is it due?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: As an singer, who were your inspirations and who do you admire both in and out of the industry?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: Who would you like to collaborate or work with in the industry?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: Erykah has dabbled into acting, do you have any inspirations to act as well?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: What's in your CD player at the moment?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: What advice can you give a youngster aiming to take on the career of a singer?
N'Dambi:

Angharad: Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans?
N'Dambi:
