Algebra grew up steeped in music, in a religious family with multi-generational roots in gospel music; her mother was a minister and gospel singer who also played bass and guitar.
Yet she initially resisted the urge to pursue music herself, despite singing in a gospel choir while still in elementary school. Although she had originally wanted to attend the prestigious Atlanta School of the Performing Arts to become a professional dancer, she was accepted after auditioning with a song.
But that just forced me to push myself harder, and to do it for myself and not care what others thought. The period between Purpose and Recovery was a productive one for Blessett, who kept busy with a variety of notable projects. Blessett also found time to pursue her longstanding interests in acting and dance, winning attention for her performance in the Atlanta-based stage musical Rebirth.
The challenge and experience just pulls me in. Next Track. Tracks similar to: Suggested tracks by imusic. The Atlanta native insists that one can only discover her sonically. No stranger to performing, Algebra has been lending her melodic voice to projects and live shows for years. However, singing for other artists was about as out of character for her as having someone write songs for her. This pivotal point in her career afforded her the time to develop her writing and performance skills even further without the harness of a prescribed format.
I would come back week after week and I learned to perform for balance and for freedom. I was becoming alive. Algebra can easily be pop, rock, rap funk or crunk, yet she can breathe ballads effortlessly.
Collaborating with award-winning songwriter and producer Brian Michael Cox on "What Happened" quickly proved to be a true showcase of her brilliance. This soulful ballad is delivered so honestly and with such vulnerability that it appears as an autobiography.
Algebra's definitive voice and identity is one of full disclosure. The litmus test of what she would create lies in being relatable and in offering complete truth in every word she sings. On the song "Nothing To Prove" she boldly introduces herself with no apologies. She places all of herself on display and invites listeners to look past her stunningly beautiful physical and into her prayerful, soulful mental.
As the first artist to be released on the revamped Kedar Entertainment Group, Algebra enters the contemporary soul music landscape following legacies created by artists like D'Angelo, Erykah Badu and India. Arie all of whom developed under the watchful eye of Massenburg. However her sound is unique.
