This Bay Area native of Puerto-Rican ancestry has established her musical presence with powerfully sweet vocals, passionately poetic song writing and sultry production. Her music has been defined as neo-funk & soul but its roots go much deeper with an infusion of afro-latin/carribean rhythms, jazz, hip-hop, salsa and rock, blending perfectly to create a unique sound all her own.
A radiating, fiery talent that should not be contained by categories or definitions. pc Munoz calls her "Oakland's visionary funk prophet:. "Sweet Water Soul" is her latest project and is in stores and available online NOW. In stores at Rasputins, Amoeba (Bay Area) and Online at iTunes, Amazon, eMusic.
"Sweet Water Soul" has
sensuous grooves and glistening, crystalline arrangements...(it) flows together like an extended suite...the project falls somewhere between an EP and an album. "Sweet Water Soul" is a highly satisfying draught for those who like their R&B served up righteously chilled.

“A veteran of Oakland's cultural arts scene, Femi's been a dancer, hip-hop MC, spoken-word poet and performance artist, in addition to a singer. Her stylistic versatility extends to her music, a blend of soul, funk, jazz, salsa, house, hip-hop and reggae that she's dubbed "neo-funk."”
Eric Arnold - East Bay Express
“...a range encompassing everything from jazz to neo-soul, Femi says she's simply listening to her own inner voice. She'd prefer to "let the music categorize itself," Adding that "as a creative person, you want to experiment with different forms."”
Eric Arnold - East Bay Express
