Album Notes

Qui, (pronounced Key) first made international noise as Sony Music’s [Europe] recording artist "TriQui Di", who from an early age laid her foundation becoming a favorite in concert halls, clubs and festivals in the talent filled Mecca of The San Francisco Bay Area.

This native Oakland, CA vocalist, rapper, writer & producer’s ArtistiQ influences run the gamut from one genre to another--from Gospel & Jazz to Rock/Pop to Hip Hop, Qui sites living legends/vocal innovators and music pioneers Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Daryl Coley, and Twinkie Clark (of The Clark Sisters) as major influences. Born, schooled, and raised in the Hip Hop Culture, Qui uses Hip Hop as the foundation in most (if not all) of her creative processes.

First expressing her desire to be an entertainer at the age of 3, Qui has displayed her talents throughout the years, lending her brand of “Alternative Hip-Hop Soul” to other entertainers in the industry and music lovers in Asian and Europe. She has shared the stage with Snoop Dogg, Aaliyah, MC Lyte, Natalie Cole, Van Hunt, Kim Burrell & Daryl Coley just to name a few.

Not one to be pigeon-holed, her ventures have also led to stints on radio, television and film, working with stars such as Academy Award Nominee Will Smith, actors Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson and Academy Award Winner Jamie Foxx.

Completely unabashed in her desire to achieve the super stardom she is destined for, Qui is proving with each new endeavor that she is truly one of the World’s and Oakland’s finest!
Soon, all will know her name… Qui
