Velecia 18, who was born in Manchester UK but now lives with her mother in Hartlepool UK, says, "I am unbelievably excited to be working with Ray & Nigel, they are very talented and are two of the most experienced and connected producers in the business. I know there is a lot of hard work ahead of me so for now I'm just going to keep my feet on the ground and keep working hard at my gigs playing in North East Bands here with AMV."
Michael Forster, Velecia's manager, said "Velecia has a unique recording voice and we expect great things from her in the future. Her vocal style is naturally suited to soul and as that is the genre she writes in it is a perfect marriage. She is a beautiful blonde English rose who sings with a vocal that comes from the American south so it is unusual and that is what makes her so special."
The first track on her road to stardom is already finished and is a collaboration with Maxi Jazz from Faithless and features a reconstructed melody from the famous Nina Simone track "Feeling Good". Velecia is in capable hands and will soon be ready to launch her recording career, watch this space. Be sure to look out for Velecia Mode.
