Biography
Nosheen Phoenix (born Nosheen Saeed; February 21st, 1983) is a singer-songwriter from East London, UK.
She hasn't had the easiest of lives. She grew up being the black sheep in a very dysfunctional family from a stereo-typical Pakistani background where wanting to be a Singer or an Actress were simply out of the question.
She tried very hard to stick with the 'traditional' ways but eventually found that the more she tried to confine herself to these traditions, the farther away from 'herself' she was becoming and decided it was time to pursue her dreams full steam.
She began Modeling and Acting for various Asian Exhibition Catwalks, Magazines, Pop Videos etc., but her place in music today happened all by accident in March 2002 when she mistook an audition for a band in Stage magazine for a Theatre job.
After a rigorous audition process Nosheen became one 7th of what back then was DeVoteD. A mixed race, mix sex pop band that was put together by Al Malik, of Iconoclast Records who himself was pursuing his dream to create the first cross-over British Asian band.
Being the least experienced Singer in the band at the time, Nosheen often found herself struggling with her self confidence as all other members of the band had been singing since they were young but this was the driving force that drove her to stand tall as the Solo artist she is today.
The band reshaped and regrouped over the years from a 7 piece to a 5 piece, to a 3 piece girl band. The band worked with some of the most renowned british producers/Songwriters and had much exposure on BBC2's Network East late night, BBC Radio, Evening Standard newspaper and were supporting acts on two of the popular UK boyband 'Blue's summer 2004 tour. These experiences have provided her with the key skills needed to grow as an artist and the hunger for Performance and success.
Nosheen today is a strong solo act ready to take on the Pop acts of the world!
Development is key in this industry and Nosheen believes everyday is development for her. She has developed into a passionate Singer with her own unique sound. Her flair for poetry has helped create the Songwriter in her and she's always been quite the Performer.
She has spent time working with Producers in Los Angeles and has recorded her more latest music in Sweden that she likes to call Pop/Rock/Ghetto/Tech. Most recently Nosheen has just signed with new management in the United States and is venturing out into the Wild West to start her ascent into her world take over.
She calls herself the 'Rebel with a Cause' and no one can deny the fire in her eyes.
