This is Jeffrey Daniel , the original U.K. Body Popper of shalamar wanting to thank all of you who voted for shalamar during our appearence on "Hit Me baby One More Time" . Although we didn't win the contest , we won the show . All the best to Shaky Stevens and the other great artist who appeared on the show and have established their careers over the years too .
I'm very glad that Vijay has supplied us with a long over due place to communicate and keep up with what's happening with Shalamar and your input and mails too .
As some of you know by now , i live in Osaka , Japan where i run my production company J-Pan Soul . I have discovered some great talent there and hope to soon present my artist to the world . Also , i'd like to produce artist on this end of the world too .
What did you all think of our new female member Carolyn Griffey ? she is the daughter of Dick Griffey and Carrie Lucas . Dick Griffey is the man who founded Solar Records and Shalamar and Carrie Lucas was also a Solar recording artist . So , Carolyn isn't just some girl we found to replace the former female member , she's been around us as we were building Shalamar and Carolyn has always been a great Shalamar fan and friend .
I had the priviledge of choreographing a song for Carolyn when she formed a female duo group named " Absolute " about 1990 . So , we have a long history together and i'm very glad to have Carolyn be a part of Shalamar .
We're now holding talks for a tour coming your way very soon , so keep posted and i hope to perform live for you in the near future .
I guess i'm typing too much , so i'll wait to hear from you and try my best to reply as soon as possible . As we say on the West Coast , Holla Back !
