N'Dambi, meaning most beautiful is the Dallas native singer's voice, style, and incredible storytelling ability through music. Influenced by country and gospel music and later by soul, funk, jazz and rock she began her professional career as a collaborator and background singer with Erykah Badu. While working with Erykah, she released three critically acclaimed independent albums (Little Lost Girls Blues, Tunin' Up & Cosignin' and A Weird Kinda Wonderful) impressing audiences world-wide with solo performances in Japan, Kenya, Uganda, France, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Finland, Italy, the UK, Belgium, Holland, Austria, USA and more.
As a result of N'Dambi's career as an independent artist she was signed to the reactivated legendary Stax Records releasing Pink Elephant. On her 2011 Grammy-nominated album Pink Elephant N'Dambi's purposeful songwriting offers the listener detailed lyrical snapshots largely created from observations, rather than her own life. N'Dambi's soulful vocal instrument rekindles our relationship with soul music flawlessly with insightful lyrics and tight arrangements that resound the energies of past soul sisters like Nina Simone, Tina Turner, Mahalia Jackson and Chaka Khan.
Earning a college degree in English and Creative Writing from Southern Methodist University N'Dambi incorporated her influence, skillful writing, and piano background to travel and create her own musical lane.
