SONG WRITING/SINGING: Essence sings like a Siren, and writes all her own lyrics. A beautiful , soulful sound. This is what the artists of www.mp3unsigned.com have to say about Essence:
I do like the way your voice changes between the sung and the spoken - there is a universality in your singing voice Essence but, my goodness, the South East accent comes through in the spoken bits which provides a really good contrast. Graham "
GreyBrow - Thursday, March 01, 2007
"Oh please please please do more of this stuff Essence! This is sung very well I love your vocal style. Theres a little touch of vunerability in your voice. It's really good."

SUMMARY OF 2006 : ViralEssence formed at the beginning of 2006 after I met Contayjen (then known as Virus) on the Drum N Bass forum Spinwarp. After meeting up initially just to record vocals for Embers and Doing Fine Now, a jam immediately sparked up and gave birth to Green Bliss. We decided to work on an album and the ViralEssence journey begun. Apr 06 saw our first release, Green Bliss was picked up from the Computer Music Magazine forum for mention in the issue 101 of the magazine, in the 'listening room' slot. In the same week, Green Bliss clocked in at no.1 on the Official Chart on Mp3Unsigned.com. Within days, permission to remix Green Bliss was immediately requested by 2 signed producers, E:mortal (dark trance - Black Tiger Recordings) and C.A.B.L.E. (dnb). The C.A.B.L.E. Remix was signed and released on Bad Company UK's latest compilation CD Bad Taste II in November 06 and played on BBC Radio's Asian Network. In May-June 06 Embers was released, also reaching no.1 in the Official Chart on Mp3Unsigned.com. A remix competition on Battle of the Beatz received 12 entries, one of which, Synrgy's Sundown Mix was signed by In Da Jungle Recordings and has been featured in DJ mixes worldwide.In Nov 06 I produced a new video of our track Nasty Intentions, a second remix competition was announced, receiving 15 entries. A remix by Subsonik is expected to be released soon. The Nasty Intentions video was voted as one of the three 'Video of the Year 2006' on Mp3Unsigned.com I started to DJ out in clubs in the UK and Europe. The best of these gigs were at the Kaiman Club, Antwerp and the Eastern Haze Festival 2006. I also had a two hour weekly Friday night slot on Evolution fm spinning DnB to hard Trance, Old Skool and Techno.
SUMMARY OF 2007 : In February 2007 Black Tiger Recordings (Trance label)signed me. Keep an eye out for more from Black Tiger Recordings and myself. As well as continuing work with Contayjen I undertook new collaborative projects. CarEss is a collab with the lovely Carol Sue KirkPatrick. We met on www.mp3Unsigned.com in March 2007.All the tracks, music and lyrics under the name CarEss are copyright of Carol and I am the singer. I also teamed up with bab boy producer Subsonik for some trance and bass smashers. Check out the tracks on my player and watch out for future releases forthcoming from us. In July I managed the drum and bass stage at a 3 day festival The Eastern Haze Festival, alongside Rain.Bo! The BASS STATION promo was a fantastic weekend - big upz to all those involved in helping to make the place rock. Check out my pictures to see the event ;) In August 2007 after 16 months of files flying back and forth over the net between Contayjen and myself the album "Into the Light" by ViralEssence was released.
