Guinevere :: Holding Court Across Clubland
You’d be crazy crazy to miss pop-songstress Guinevere as she hits clubs across the country on her tour with "Backstreet Boy" alumnus Nick Carter. The singing seductress will be making a stop along the way in New York City hotspot Splash on Thursday, February 2 and she couldn’t be more jazzed. "It’s actually so exciting - it was the best feeling," Guinevere said about finally taking the stage to premiere the tour in Nashville.
She may be playing to Carter’s fan base, but she’s easily winning the audience over. With such catchy hits as the dance floor ready "Crazy Crazy" already ramping up the charts, the self-confessed "shy girl" comes alive when the curtain goes up. "Being a new artist, you don’t know what to expect - how they’re going to react," she tells us. "When I get on that stage something takes over me and I just let go of everything; and I rock the stage. It’s therapeutic in a way."
It’s not difficult falling for the intoxicating Toronto born beauty. Guinevere takes her name from the famous leading lady in Arthurian legend that came between the Knights of the Round Table and nearly doomed the Kingdom of Camelot. If it sounds like a lot to live up to, Guinevere is more than up for the challenge. As a matter of fact, she’s well attuned to testing herself and pushing her limits - the avid competitive video gamer has proven she can score against any high-roller especially at the widely popular shooter Call of Duty.
Imagine the surprise on any online player when they realize they’re taken on Guinevere - who takes no prisoners on the battlefield.
High Scoring
Guinevere plays to win with her music, brilliantly arming herself with some of today’s leading producers and songwriters. Her premiere single "Crazy Crazy" was produced by Cirkut who has collaborated with Ke$ha, Britney Spears and Jessie J. "I met him right before his career really took off," Guinevere revealed about working with Cirkut. "You can just tell he was going to be a massive producer."
Additional collaborations include The Smeezington’s Ari Levine who partnered with Bruno Mars to co-write the hits "Grenade" and the infamously popular Cee Lo track "Fuck You". It’s no surprise that these producers have the attention of this envelope pushing, hard-working rising new sensation. Guinevere is devoted to music that speaks from the heart. "We’ve written tracks that started off really light hearted and then ended up crazy aggressive."
Aggressive may be the best way to describe Guinevere’s ambition which she has tailored after her inspirations including Joan Jett, Gwen Stefani, Beyoncé and Madonna. "She’s worked so hard," she says about Madonna about to conquer the Super Bowl stage, "It’s something that I truly aspire to." But as her own legend continues to grow, Guinevere makes no bones about it: "i want to kick ass and do the best I can."
Guinevere elaborates on her music, image and goes boldly, giving her insight on Star Trek in this "Out Loud & Live!" radio interview. Check it out...
