R&B riser Maeesha B releases the radiant debut EP, if only u knew.
A collection of tracks she calls her ”R&B love songs”, the 6 track release showcases sultry, romantic performances on tracks like ‘CALL ME’ to high-energy, Jersey Club influences on ‘BACK IT UP’ and swathes of Afro-beat warmth on the likes of ‘PROVE IT’. Crafting infectious sounds with each new avenue her creativity takes her, the EP delivers vivid, commercially viable and strikingly authentic tracks cementing Maeesha as one to watch.
Showcasing some rich electronic production as well as her silky, effortlessly controlled vocals across the release, the tracks showcase not only Maeesha’s undeniable talent, but also the future potential she posseses. Emerging from Ottawa, Canada, Maeesha is a singer and rapper who has turned heads with her talent since the age of thirteen. Singing from the age of six, Maeesha was soon set on her future, using her French heritage to steadily craft a potent cocktail of influences, textures, and cultures. Coming third place in Music Jeunesse in Quebec, she has also performed at a Black History Month gala and received vocal coaching and production from Shaun Royer and Roy Hamilton, respectively.
Drawing inspiration from industry icons like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and SZA, Maeesha B’s music is a compelling fusion of these influences, infused with her own unique flair. Critics have often compared Maeesha B to H.E.R., noting her compelling vocal quality and the emotional depth of her performances.
Maeesha B has honed her craft with the help of renowned vocal coaches, including the late Shaun Royer and Nick Cooper, the latter known for his work with Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj. Her performances at significant events such as the Boys of Summer Tour, Playlist Live, and OBJ X Toronto have further cemented her status as an emerging artist to watch.
