Dominique De Beau is an English R&B and pop singer and songwriter from Liverpool. She is noted for her sultry vocals and throwback Motown sound.[1]
Early life and family
De Beau was born and raised in Liverpool, and began performing in her school choir at the age of five. By the time she turned nine, she had toured most of the country as part of a local music collective known as "Our Ladies," going as far as making several TV appearances on programs such as "Six O'clock News" and "Granada Tonight."[citation needed]
Career
At the age of 18, De Beau relocated to London in hopes of pursuing her singing career. She joined an all-girl group, "United Sisters" and attracted the attention of Grammy-winning producer Narada Michael Walden, who had worked with singers such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and the legendary “Queen of Soul” Aretha Franklin.
De Beau left London for the U.S., and performed alongside a number of established artists at several venues in San Francisco and LA.[citation needed] She eventually returned to Liverpool, where she began working on solo material. She worked in various recording studios and released two mixtapes: Addiction Vol.1 and Pleasure & Pain Vol. 2.[citation needed]
The Addiction Mixtape caught the attention of independent American film director Thunder Levin, who put “Break It Down,” a track written and performed by Dominique, into his movie Mutant Vampire Zombies From the Hood.
De Beau collaborated with songwriters and producers from both the UK and USA including Jack Knight, whose roster includes Biggie, P. Diddy and Faith Evans; songwriter K. Ellis who worked with Day 26 and MTV’s Making the Band; and LT Moe, who has collaborated with hitmakers Ludacris and Chingy.[citation needed]
In 2013, De Beau released a digital download for fans which she both wrote and produced. The track entitled "Lie Low" also saw her create her first music video with UK Director Luke Biggins. The song went on to be featured on Coast 2 Coast Mixtape Vol. 237 (digital download), which was hosted by Kid Ink.[citation needed]
In 2014, De Beau was featured on Coast 2 Coast Mixtape Vol. 268 (digital download), which was hosted by Iggy Azalea. In September 2014, she released her Debut EP entitled "Unforgettable" on iTunes, with the label, Hustle and Grind Entertainment, working with UK producer IgradeTheGreat.[citation needed]
Upon the release of the single, “Touch Your Body” from “Unforgettable”, T4C said “UK R&B singer Dominique De Beau looks to be one of the brightest stars in the industry…”[2]
