U Cee & Royal Family (DE)
U Cee (Ussama Soleman), born 1983 in Regensburg Germany, began his music career at the age of 12. By the age of 15 with his exceptional talent and very distinctive, warm and soulful voice, he had already been contracted to Virgin Records with the soul funk unit “UST”. In 2000 U-cee transferred to the Nuremberg hip-hop combo “Rundfunk 2” with whom he released the album “Ruhestörung”. His increasingly powerful stage presence attracted the attention of the drum’n bass formation “Bassline Paranoia” who shortly after took him on as a permanent crew member. At the same time U Cee founded a company, IPF-Entertainment (booking, concert, label and event agency), which organizes reggae and hiphop events (Jan Delay, Deichkind) in the Regensburg area and which took over the booking for several acts. He has appeared in many live shows with the Regensburg hiohop soul band Flowkiste and toured with the band in Germany and Austria. In 2003 his love of reggae and dancehall led him to join forces and tour with “Mortal Kombat Sound” as a MC. In 2004 U-cee met and joined the established reggae band “King Banana” as lead singer, with whom he has sung in over 100 live shows. Since 2005 he also been on the road with DJ Rufflow (Royal Family member) as King Banana-Soundsystem (2009 renamed Royal Family Soundsystem) and has played over 50 gigs in Germany and internationally. The recording of the Royal Family Album in 2006 (produced by David Meyer/Silly Walks Movement from Hamburg) was headed by U-cee as new lead singer and ushered in a new era in the band’s story. The only logical conclusion was to re-launch under the name: U-cee & The Royal Family. U-cee’s work with Regensburg’s Moodorama in 2007 culminated in the world-wide release of the “Mindtraffic” single taken from the album “My Name is Madness”. The singer currently lives in Prague/CZ, is working with The Royal Family on new material for the 2009 album and will be going on a festival tour with Strangejah Cole (JAM) & The Royal Family. album, které vyjde na jaře 2010.
