Queen of the punky reggae party scene, the outernational superstar known as Ari Up is an extraordinary and provocative artist. Her commanding stage presence and agile steppers dance moves are as unique as her distinctive crown of tumbling dreadlocks and the sexy, flamboyant fashions she designs and rocks on and off stage. Memorable and original, Ari's sound is as fresh and futuristic as her style. "My music is extreme stuff," clarifies Ari. "It's the offspring of reggae, which was rebellious outlaw music, mixed up together with dub, dancehall, drum'n'bass and hip-hop and . . .the attitude of the Slits." - London's pioneering wild girl punk band that she fronted in the 1970s at the age of fourteen. The concept of Ari's delicate pan-urban brew evolved between Jamaica and the extremes of New York's progressive music spectrum, in dives on the Lower East Side, Brooklyn and Williamsburg.
Lady Miss Kier was the lead singer for the dance and electronica band Deee-Lite. Her vocals were featured on the band’s albums, beginning with their first release World Clique in 1990, which includes the band’s best known song, “Groove Is In The Heart”.
