Combining some of London's top session players, big band leaders, festival headliners, producers and up and coming artists, Queen Dee & The Hornets were formed under the urge of bringing Soul with a capital S back into music.
Formed around the raspy-raw and soulful singer Dee, her band from the London urban jungle and surroundings includes some of London's finest that have worked with the likes of Lily Allen, Muse, The Streets, DJ Fresh, Roisin Murphy, Professor Green, The Gorillaz, Jocelyn Brown,The Fontanas and Scubaroots to name but a few.
Dee is a big personality and it was only a matter of time for her to branch out in her own right. This is no diva but a woman with vocal credentials that would make any singing wanabee beg for her husky voice. This soulful funk band is in the throws of writing material for a release early next year. The engine behind the voice is Frank; he is the technical nouse and brainchild behind the lyrics. Modest and quiet, the two complement each other well.
I caught up with Dee and Frank and had a chat with them about the year ahead. Click below to hear some gossip on Professor Green and the interview in whole.
