This native Oakland, CA vocalist, rapper, writer, & producer’s ArtistiQ influences run the gamut. From one genre to another--from Jazz to Rock/Pop to Hip Hop, Qui sites living legends/ vocal innovators and music, pioneers Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Daryl Coley, and Twinkie Clark (of The Clark Sisters) as major influences. Born, schooled, and raised during the HipHop Generation, Qui uses Hip Hop as her foundation in most (if not all of) her creative processes.
First expressing her desire to be an entertainer at the age of 3, Qui has displayed her talents throughout the years, lending her brand of “Alternative Hip-Hop Soul” to other entertainers in the industry. She has shared the stage with Natalie Cole, Van Hunt, Kim Burrell, Snoop Dogg, Aaliyah, MC Lyte & Daryl Coley just to name a few. Not one to be pigeon-holed, her ventures have also led to stints on radio, television and in film, working with stars such as Academy Award Nominee Will Smith, actors Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson and Academy Award Winner Jamie Foxx.
Completely unabashed in her desire to achieve the super stardom she is destined for,
Qui is proving with each new endeavor that she is truly one of the World’s and Oakland’s finest!
Soon, all will know her name…Qui
