SHE’S BACK and KEEPIN’ IT REAL!

When Catz Entertainments’ Taborah performed at the Billboard Dance Music Summit in September of 2004, DJ’s immediately wanted to know, “who is she” and “where did she come from”? Now, after her smash debut of her first USA release, “I AM” (the rising) the word is out, that Taborah is “back” and “here” to stay! With an entry onto the USA Billboard Dance Club Chart in the first Billboard issue of 2005, Taborah’s six octave vocals along with help via various mixes from famed producer/remixer Johnny Rocks, rocketed her onto the USA landscape where she was destined to make a splash. With the subsequent release of a handful of remixes from Friscia and Lamboy, Giuseppe D, and Jeff Barringer & J Star, “I AM” (the rising) landed in the Top Five spot and remained on the

charts for 16 weeks.

At Radio mixshow, “I AM” the rising was an immediate favorite and with Sirius Satellite Radio –The Beat jumping on board with early rotation, “I AM” (the rising) went on to become a household favorite. One might ask, “How is it that without major label support could one artist, and one track raise so much attention with the demand of the record remaining strong for over nine months with features on QTelevision and interviews with radio veteran, Joe Franklin but without the support of commercial radio rotation? In a sentence, with support from the gay and lesbian community! Taborah unleashed her talent during the 2004 Gay Life Expo and her inspirational lyrics struck a chord across the nation! Taborah went on to perform during the Heritage of Pride Rally, Rapture on The River, PrideFest and Carolines where she performed with the likes of Randy Jones of the Village People. Recently Taborah performed during The Dance Music Hall of Fame Induction Awards paying tribute to dance music’s finest, where she was backed by Ray Chew and the Crew of Showtime at the Apollo. Her self-independence single, “I AM (the rising) has been licensed by several lifestyle companies. Taborah is poised with continued success when she releases her next single to be determined by a fun contest among Taborah fans during the upcoming Gay Life Expo at the Jacob Javits Center in November 2005. Who is Taborah and where did she come from? Ladies and Gentlemen... Welcome to the world of Taborah!

She has earned the title bestowed upon her by European insiders as the “Lady of Dance with the BIG VOICE”. It is no wonder that, Taborah Adams, as the songwriter, voice and face of Blackwood and under her own name very quickly became the darling of the European dance scene with radio, print, television and dance clubs clamoring for her at every turn. In the land, where dance music has been king for as long as one can remember, the exotically sexy, introspective, sassy and amazingly talented singer-songwriter-dance-queen has the vocal range and ability to really lift the music from the turntables to the dance floor.

NOW, Taborah Adams is back! She has left Blackwood behind, and is now known - as, TABORAH. With collaborations under her belt with Producer/MixMaster Johnny Rocks (Madonna, Cher, Celine Dion), who has a talent for working with vocal tracks and is no stranger to critical acclaim and New Jersey native, Giuseppe D who just wrapped up a hot new Taborah track “All I Gave To You” to be released in the future, Taborah is on her way to establishing her reputation as a singer/songwriter with great on-stage presence and personality. With licenses on Centaur Entertainment, Masterbeat and Thrive Records for “I AM” (the rising) says Catz Entertainments’ Catherine R. Laporte, “We immediately understood Taborahs big voice and felt strongly that Taborah would deliver here in the US. As an indie indie label and management company, we have to set our own parameters and market and promote in creative ways. Our strategy is much like rock promotion in that we expect to perform, perform, and perform. We also have the ability to move as our fan base dictates, because we have not relied on commercial radio airplay, but instead programs such as DMX, AOL and other internet radio and key DJ’s from around the country who have helped to get our message out. Further, Taborah is not just an artist on the label, but part of the team. We strongly believe in our message that people want to hear positive lyrics which is moving and inspirational. Taborah hails truly from the dance world and can write songs, as well as deliver her natural talent on stage. I think music lovers desire talent and they see and hear that in Taborah. We are looking forward to a long partnership with Taborah and are pleased that the United States is finally getting a chance to hear what Europe has known for years”!

According to Taborah, “I am so excited about this period in my life, and “I AM (the rising)” represents the positive energy gained from taking control of my life, to include my music. I have matured as a songwriter, vocalist and performer, and carry in this recording, that energy. I AM (the rising)” represents that spirit. Little did I realize that it would strike a chord with so many people, who feel the same way! Freedom and faith is a wonderful thing and I want to thank my fans for their support of me and my songs! I am very excited to share my next single with everyone and love my fans for supporting me over the last year. I have had the time of my life and enjoyed meeting each and every one of them who have shared their own stories of independence!” When Taborah is not writing songs, or performing, she is busy as an entrepreneur, utilizing her interior design skills, and will soon add a Design degree alongside her Dance Music Awards. No doubt her on-the-road digs will be absolutely fab!

Taborah as Blackwood, wrote several hit records for herself and others. Her popularity took her throughout Italy and Europe on a 63-date club and Festival Tour to include the very popular high end San Remo Festival. Soon thereafter she received the coveted FIMI Best Dance Act Award, Italy’s highest music honor, and her releases landed three spots on Hit Parade Italia’s top selling 100 of 1997. Very early on, this dance lady of soulful riffs found success when in 1992 her first single, “I’ve Got To Have You” released on Blue Village /A&D Records became a dance club anthem in Europe and Canada. Her hits include dance floor faves “Ride On The Rhythm” which topped the charts at #1 on Hit Parade and Musica e Dische. “My Love For You”, her follow up immediately went to #1 on Billboard, and other charts, as well as radio and both releases remained on the Billboard chart for 30 consecutive weeks. With her video’s still finding their way on MTV Europe, Taborah expects to return to Europe where previously her song have been licensed in over 53 countries.

What makes Taborah the “real deal”? Perhaps it’s her keen sense of dance, her innate natural vocal talent and fun exuberant stage personality or perhaps it is her love of great music and the art of dance that makes her special? Says Taborah, “ music and dancing is what keeps us focused and alive; beats reach our heart and our soul and who doesn’t love to bump it up on a dance floor?” Whichever the case, The Party has begun, so dust off those dancin’ shoes and get ready to shake your booty, because Taborah will be “Ridin’ The Rhythm” at a venue near you soon!
