Vocalist Shahida Nurullah is a Detroit native who comes from an artistic family and has trained with the best jazz musicians the Motor City has to offer: Teddy Harris Jr., Marcus Belgrave, Kenn Cox, Marion Hayden and Yusef Lateef. As a member of Geri Allen's band, Open on All Sides, her vocal styling bowled Europe over when she toured Germany, France, Finland and Holland. The New York Times lauded her performance with Allen at the New York's Knitting Factory and she received the 1994 Spirit of Detroit Award. Shahida has a particular fondness for Brazilian tunes, but her repertoire runs the gamut of jazz and blues. Her far-ranging musical talents have been praised by Steve Bryant of the Michigan Chronicle: "When she sings she has the ability to integrate her voice with the instrumentals so that she becomes another instrument herself."
