Sup my peoples,

I am proud to announce that my song “Trade” feat. Chino XL has been nominated for a WAM 2011 Song of the Year Award in the Urban/Hip Hop category!!!

There is no online public voting for the comp this year, so it’s in the hands of the industry judges, but none-the-less, this is my very first nomination for an Australian music award!

The winner will be announced on October 12th at the Fly By Night Musician’s Club in Freo. For tickets to the award ceremony, please visit www.flybynight.org .

Hey y’all!

Hope all is well with you!

A new chapter in my world… just got married to the love of my life, and am moving back to OZ for a while!!! I leave next week!!!!

I’m going to miss Madison, HOWEVER… I can tell you now, I will not miss the snow!!! LOL!!!

Nah, truthfully, Madison has been my home for the past 8 years, and I will miss it greatly… especially the Hip-Hop scene. It gave me the opportunity to shine, and grow as an artist, and for that, I will forever be thankful!

Props to all the Madison and Milwaukee artists, deejays, and producers I have collabed with over the years. It has truly been a pleasure doing business with you!!!

On another note, I didn’t enter the MAMAs this year. I didn’t think it’d be fair since I won’t actually be in Madison anymore, AND I wanted to give other artists a chance to win the “Urban/R&B Artist of the Year” title that I’ve been hogging for the past 3 years. LMAO! (Just kidding!!!) Good luck to all those deserving and hardworking artists who have been nominated this year!!!

I want to say a special “THANK YOU” to all my supporters who have listened to my music, come to my shows, bought my CDs, and just “represent”. If you’re ever in Australia, just look me up!

My music releases will continue, so don’t you worry about that… at the moment, I am working on my remix album “Know Me – The Remixes“, so stay tuned.

P.S. Pick up a free copy of this month’s issue of 608 Magazine for a double-spread feature on ya girl!!!

The Felicia Alima “Check The Ringtone“ Remix Competition ended on September 30th.

We apologize for the delay in announcing the winner, but it took a while for Dieera and I to deliberate on over 40 remix submissions from all around the world.

The decision was very hard because there were so many strong entries (surprisingly a lot of jazz submissions) … but thinking along the criteria of creativity, quality, production relevance to the lyrics, and marketability, we collectively decided on the official winner…

The winner of the “Check The Ringtone” Remix Competition is dawZ, hailing from the UK!!!

dawZ submitted a five minute-long Garage-style remix of “Check The Ringtone“. He did more than just place the a cappella over an original beat – he chopped it up and “re-mixed” it too! The track is an up-tempo beat, suitable for the club scene, but it also emanates a dark feel, keeping the topic of the song relevant to the music.

David “dawZ” Veress is a Hungarian jazz musician/composer/producer. Growing up, music had been a huge aspect of his life, as he started playing guitar at the age of 5, and reached the finals in the “Metal Hammer Magazine” guitar competition at the age of 16!!! Currently residing in the UK, as an artist, dawZ plays jazz rock/fusion, but also writes music for various R&B performers and commercials. Check out some of his tunes on www.myspace.com/dawzscriticalmovements.
You can also copp DawZ’s new release “DawZ’s Critical Movements” on iTunes.

dawZ’s version of “Check The Ringtone“, will be available for FREE DOWNLOAD only at FELICIAALIMA.COM!!!

We would like to sincerely thank EVERYONE who took their time and creative energy to submit to the competition. We appreciate all your talents, and thoroughly enjoyed listening to all your submissions!

Please keep posted for future remix comps!!!

Thank you!!!

- Felicia Alima, Dieera and the Chantik Soul team.

Peace, love and all that jazz…

WHAT’S NEW

CINEMA VILLAGE (NYC)

Please take the time to check out a documentary called ”Fatal Promises“.
Fatal Promises, is an in-depth and honest look into the scourge of human trafficking. Through personal stories of victims of trafficking, and interviews with politicians, non-governmental organizations and activists, Fatal Promises cleverly juxtaposes the brutal realities of human trafficking suffered by victims and battled by activists, with the hollow rhetoric of politicians and pundits who claim to be making significant strides in combating this horrific crime against humanity.
My song “Trade” appears on the rolling credits of the documentary, so there is another reason (besides the obvious), to check it out. 

Fatal Promises will premiere in New York City on September 15th.

The film will run at Cinema Village (22 E. 12th Street, NY, NY) from September 16th through September 24th.

For more info on the film, please visit www.fatalpromises.com.
