Trying to describe her with one word would be impossible. Few can master one genre of music, but pure, God-given talent allows her to master all. Her movements attract you, her music captivates you, and her voice soothes your soul with joy. Her immeasurable vocal and songwriting talents bestow upon audiences a remarkable experience, replenishing one’s hopefulness, love, and aspiration.

I introduce to you, Tracy Hamlin. She unveiled her soulful, exquisitely impassioned voice to the world at the La Fountain Blue at age eleven. She has been traveling the globe as a lead singer ever since, from Sweden to Japan to Morocco to name a few.

She has also toured internationally as lead background vocalist for Disco Queen, Gloria Gaynor. And toured internationally as the lead vocalist with Heads Up International recording artists, Pieces of a Dream and was featured on Love’s Silhouette (2002) and No Assembly Required (2005).

Hamlin executive produced three solo albums through her own label, DMH Records, LLC, Seasons (2005), Better Days (2009), and This is My Life (2013). ?Seasons? set the tone for Hamlin taking her place center stage, exhibiting a breathtaking presentation of her rich vocal tones.

Better Days, an exceptional successor to Seasons, provides a truthful and transparent portrayal of Tracy’s musical universe. Songs such as You’ve Got To Let Go and No Regrets compassionately guide one through self-reflection, while Better Days and Free offer warming reveries of belief and optimism. With help from collaborative producers Phil Davis, Eric Valentine, and Kelvin Wooten, Better Days takes listeners on an inspiring odyssey.

Tracy’s third release, This is My Life, hit the airwaves June 2013, immediately gained the attention of music lovers globally, and held the #1 position for two weeks on the UK Soul Charts. Fans were particularly drawn to her covers of Jimmy Webb’s This Is Your Life and Luther Vandross’ Never Too Much.

Before the release of her third solo album, Tracy teamed up with DJ Spen in 2012 to release a string of successful house music singles including ?Drive Me Crazy? which was #1 for top downloads/sales for 3 consecutive weeks on Traxsource, Got To Be Strong reaching the top 10 list for top downloads/sales, and Never Too Much also reaching #1 for top downloads/sales. The success of these house singles led to Tracy recently being signed to House Music label, Quantize Recordings, and the anticipated release of her debut LP with the label entitled Home released October 2013. On this musical offering, Tracy fuses the boundaries between Soul, Jazz, R&B and House music, making Home an exceptional showcase of what Tracy Hamlin represents.
