Afro-Groove, singer/songwriter Karlex is looking over the Atlantic to
build on his growing success across in Europe, actively seeking a
label to release his debut CD "Ghetto Fabulous." Kalex will be
performing at the BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) Cafe Live as part of
the 'Music Is The Weapon' weekend benefit presented by MusicDish on
April 4-5, 2008. Signed with Lil' People Records in France and
distributed in the Netherlands and UK, the Haitian American artist has
been making waves ever since the release of his album in the fall of
2006.
Karlex recently completed a radio promotion campaign through Twin
Vision, resulting in 65 Triple-A radio stations/shows picking it up
across the country, including Bridgeport (CT), Tampa (FL), Lafayette/
Baton Rouge (LA), Grand Rapids (MI), St. Louis (MO), Minneapolis (MN),
Trenton (NJ), Santa Fe (NM), Philadelphia (PA), Cleveland (OH),
Portland (OR), Houston (TX), and Madison (WI). He has also received
airplay on over 50 radio stations in France's major markets.
Karlex has also maintained a high visibility online through the
MusicDish Network, with features on ARTISTdirect, UBL and Amie Street
Music in the last 2 months. His music videos 'Let's Harmonize (A Bom
Bom)' and 'Farewell Angel' Music Videos have been featured on over 25
video sites, reaching Top 3 in mvspy.com.
Starting with an official MIDEM '07 showcase, Karlex spent a busy year
on the road. He was the first musical act to be invited to perform the
IDTGV, a part of the SNCF which runs France's high-speed trains; with
a seven day summer tour on the Paris-Perpignan TGV train line. He also
played on a 5-city Dutch tour coinciding with the album's release in
the Netherlands, as well as two showcase performances at London
Calling '07.
Soon after the albums release, "Ghetto Fabulous" was selected by "Arte
TV" as an October Event and by "Radio Africa No 1" as Album Of The
Week leading up to the release. Karlex was invited to perform on his
song "I've Got News For You..." France 2's 'Live Acoustic', while also
being chosen by Acoustic Fuel as a 'Daily ReFill - In Celebration of
Black History Month.'
