Kreesha Turner - Don't Call Me Baby (Album Version) on MUZU.Kreesha Turner (born June 10, 1985),[1] is a Canadian R&B/Pop Recording artist. She cites R&B acts like Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and D'Angelo, hip-hop acts including A Tribe Called Quest, Andre 3000 and Common and rock acts like the Foo Fighters and Our Lady Peace as her inspirations.[The oldest of three children born to a Canadian father and a Jamaican mother,[3] Kreesha was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta.[4] As a young child, Kreesha would dance in her bedroom to music by jazz icon Oscar Peterson.[5] Kreesha has always referenced jazz[6] as an inspiration, especially artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday,[7] and Peggy Lee.Kreesha's musical tastes developed when she discovered the music of Erykah Badu,[7] Jill Scott[7] and D'Angelo, A Tribe Called Quest, Andre 3000, Common, the Foo Fighters and Our Lady Peace. Kreesha's early musical expression was through modern, tap, jazz, hip-hop and African dance.In 2000 when Kreesha was 15, Kreesha's mother sent her to Jamaica[8] to live for a year to experience Jamaican culture. Kreesha quickly learned that singing is a big part of everyday life in Jamaica, particularly at the Pentecostal church. Friends convinced her to try out for the youth choir despite her own belief that she couldn't sing. On the strength of her rendition of Canada's national anthem, Kreesha was accepted into the choir and began singing gospel songs at the Faith Temple Tabernacle.[9] Kreesha cites this as the time she realized she loved to sing.[edit]MusicNow Radio - Kressha Turner Interview.wmv
