To Whom It May Concern,
I am looking forward to having you consider the artist Steeve Khé at the 2008 edition of the festival. Steeve is an accomplished, experienced, and multi-talented artist based in Montreal. Steeve Khé is an independent artist whose style varies from Urban Soul, R&B, and Afro-Pop.
Steeve plays live a festive music with 4 musicians and 2 back-up singers. He sings in English, French, Spanish, and Creole. Each vibrant music piece captures the sensual rhythm, unmistakable soul and endless beauty of this fine artist. Steeve has performed at various international festivals such as: Montreal Jazz festival, Nuits d’Afrique, Québec International Summer Festival, Francopholies de Montreal (twice), Roots & Culture [Miami] , The Festival Tumbuktu, Handifestival in Senegal (dec 2008), etc. Steeve is a great entertainer and performer whose charisma prompts him to communicate and interact with the public. I strongly recommend Steeve, and I am certain he would make a positive impact at the festival for a vibrant and rich musical experience.
