BIOGRAPHY
Deep
within your soul is an energy waiting to
be reached, waiting to be touched and
waiting to be understood. Have you ever
felt yourself wandering aimlessly in this
world, sometimes filled with confusion,
wondering if you will ever find the path
that will guide you to some understanding
of your existence? There is a voice,
gently, calling upon your spirit, like
birds singing to you on an early sunrise.
Do you hear it, beckoning you? Seeking
these answers and answering that calling
released the poetic expressive insight of
"debut" recording artist, SiloamPool.
Siloam
(Greek; interpreted "sent"),
Pool (a group of people, like drops of
water that form a soothing common
effort). Her classic Euro style that is
reminiscent of the "beatnik"
era is romantically refreshing. Siloam's
vocal style is soothingly
"funky" with a poetic flare
that flows into a soulful finale of cool
acid jazz. Siloam’s unique voice
aromatically blends ingredients of honest
and sincere passion. SiloamPool has
developed an eloquent combination of
orchestrated jazz ensembles layered by
her nourishing lyrics. The combination of
these qualities creates a well-polished
work of musical art that make one feel as
if they have fine dined on the
wonderment’s of life. As you listen,
your mind will travel with her on many
journeys.
Siloam
has had many influences in her life, but
her greatest influence, teacher, mentor,
and friend has been “The
Creator” of the heavens, the earth
and the fullness thereof, "who can
be a better inspiration?" states
Siloam. As a writer, Siloam never
ventures into her thoughts without
recognizing who is her guide. She strives
to author songs, which feed the spirit
and soul. To her this is an awesome
responsibility and honored gift.
Detroit
native SiloamPool along with Sidney
Howard wrote, arranged and produced this
debut CD, "Colors of Black &
White". Lead vocalist Siloam
states “as our sound developed, it
began to breath with a life of it’s
own. Its variety of tempos are threaded
to serenade the listener, which is how
music I love first gets and keeps my
attention”. The CD is a musical
collage of Siloam’s journey. In days
past a shy, young redheaded girl, full of
hopes buried within, longed to feel free
to release these hidden treasures. She
marveled at those who could press past
their fears and live their dreams. Fate
divine initiated her journey, a trip
unbeknownst to her she had begun. The
musical pilgrimage began as a child and
nurtured while studying pre-med. in
college. During this time singing
backgrounds proved to be a comfortable
place for Siloam. This fate would not
allow her the comfort of hiding in the
background to which she had become
accustomed. In 1996 after recording and
touring with Fred Hammond and RFC Siloam
asked God “now what”? Never one
to follow the crowd, force by the desires
of her heart, a passion for helping
people combined with her love of music,
Siloam realized her fears and
insecurities had to be overcome. People,
places and events impacting her journey,
some to dissuade some to pursue. Today
before you is that young girl, the woman
- Siloam sent to share with you treasures
begotten, on her journey. The answer to
Siloams “now what” question,
this debut CD, "Colors of Black
& White" a mellifluous blend of
songs that awaken your spirit and open
your eyes to a fresh view of life. So
consider this collection of creatively
written songs a musical photo book,
listening pictures, of the journey that
Siloam has taken thus far. As you listen,
Siloam wants you to know that you have
become a treasure in her journey.
