About:
|
We are the Gemstones, a contemporary vocal harmony ensemble. We met through social networking sites, after answering an Ad for singers by Founder and Manager Naisae Dorothy Mdoe in early 2008. We formed the current Gemstones Group in March 2008 specifically to enter Last Choir Standing on BBC1. We were in the top 60 in the whole of the UK after forming 3 weeks before the competition and beat off choirs that had been together over 10 years.
We are still looking for singers, so if you would like to join us please email simon.deaneuk@googlemail.com . We have a great musical director, Marcus Davidson, who is a professional pianist and composer and creates fantastic and very challenging harmonies. www.marcusdavidson.net
The Gemstones Vocal Harmony Collective is a community project that has various ensembles, a gospel choir, a contemporary vocal harmony group and an afro-beat youth performance group. The contemporary vocal harmony group is a combination of some of the gospel singers, classical singers and some great soul/jazz belters. We are 10 in total in this group and it has proved to be the most successful of the groups.
Naisae Dorothy Mdoe advertised for singers the internet via sites like Gumtree to form an contemporary urban vocal harmony ensemble that would sing challenging classics, popular pop songs and songs in foreign languages. We think there is a gap in the market for an all female vocal ensemble like us who defy industry stereotypes and can sing very well, look good and captivate audiences. We will be recording an original song that we sang on Last Choir Standing under the direction of Marcus Davidson.
