12 13 The theremin. What does EMI stand for?
Lici has always been a trendsetter and an outcast, which explains how she got her princess cut title “Tha Diamond”. A diamond is a rare commodity, a uniquely irreplaceable stone priceless its value, yet unique and stylish with each designer cut. This explains Lici’s personality, presentation, performance, and artistic approach; she is defi nitely Tailor Made.
Lici notes her musical infl uences: Sara Vaughn, Anita Baker, Yolanda Adams,
Diamond “In The Ruff”
From her spiked cropped hair, high heel tennis shoes to her conservative business wear, and parachute pants. Artist Lici is all that jazz and more. She is polished, poised, and eclectic with a unique sound that will mesmerize you leaving you breathless!
At the tender age of 3 Lici discovered her love for music, accepting the musical mantle that had been passed down through her lineage naming herself “Tha Diamond”.
Lici12
Patti Labelle, and Donnie McClurkin.
Tha Diamond says, “I recall early childhood memories singing, laughing and playing around tha, piano with my family.” As she laughed with a high pitch chuckle that reminds you of a cross between Crissy from Threes Company, and childhood start Emanuel Lewis from tha hit show Webster; Lici continued, “Those musical moments were GOLDEN” in tha words of Jill Scott. Tha Diamond went on to state that those intimate moments is what “kept a young Diva in the making GROUNDED” and laid tha foundation for her uniquely pegged artistry titled: Inspirational Soul, fusioned with under currents of Pop, Rap, Classic Rock, and R&B.
Lici began her professional career in 1999, shortly after parting with local Houston recording group “DVP”. This enthusiastic groundbreaking artist/songwriter/producer has opened for artist such as: Kim Burrell, Yolanda Adams, Shawn McClemore, and many others. She has also served as a back-up singer for Commission’s Keith Staten.
Lici has been featured on Daystar Television, countless conferences and showcase platforms including Donnie McClurkin’s B.T.H. ’02, the 2004 Dallas division of the Stellar Star Search, where she was awarded 1st runner-up. Lici has also been featured in several stage plays such as “Where were you in 65?” a Thomas Melanson musical, Lead actress in “When Momma Prays” a J B Productions stage play. Lici has received various awards for her artistry including two Sammy Awards from the People’s Workshop Of America, a Certifi cate of Congressional Recognition, and an Award of Notable Achievement and Excellence by the Juneteenth Committee.
Lici’s forthcoming album “Tailor Made” is slated for release in the Fall of 2005. “Tailor Made” speaks a universal message that poignantly conveys the essence of life’s trials, tribulations, and triumphs with songs entitled “Free To Be Me”, “Down Low”, and “What’s It Gonna Be””. In Tha Diamond words, “My songs liberate the listeners, giving them tha courage to look tha good, bad, and the ugly in tha face and say WHAT IT Doooooo!!!”
Tha Diamond is compelled by her passion for the arts. She was created to touch the world with an undying message of hope in such despairing times.

How To Market Your Independent Release by JaWar
A practical plan, a passion to succeed and a willingness to innovate are most important in marketing your independent release. Make sure your product stands the test of time. In short: your music should be HOT!
You should be simultaneously getting music reviews and working on performing live. When you are beginning your career you will want to focus on perfecting your craft and building a loyal fan base. This is achieved through performing live at every venue possible. If the opportunity presents itself for you to perform in front of 1,000 people do it. Likewise if the opportunity presents itself for you to perform in front of 10 people, do it. The goal is the same, perfecting your craft and building a loyal fan base. With that said here is one way to make the most out of your live performances: invite every person on your contact hit list. Yes, music writers, DJ’s, music retail store managers, club owners, record pool directors, etc. Remember your goal is to get your music heard by potential fans that will buy future releases, your merchandise and support your concerts. One way to get people to try something new is by off ering a discount. For example, you may want to sell your full length CD for $7. Some companies have been extremely successful at selling more products by lowering their prices.
