Introducing: Oceana
Debut Album Love Supply to be released on Ultra Records this Summer
"Cry Cry" original and remix, are out on Ultra Records June 1, 2010.
Oceana is a modern confident young woman who knows what she wants. She actually knew what she wanted from an early age.
"I always had an extraordinary lifestyle, was always independent and boxed my own way through life. I didn't need pocket money - I learned from early on, how to manage on my own."

Oceana never felt homesick, but always felt the need to travel and sees herself as a "citizen of the world." A real cosmopolitan, she has lived in Paris, Hamburg, London, New York, Los Angeles and spent a fair amount of time in Martinique, exploring her Caribbean roots. She earned her living through gigs and was constantly improving her knowledge of song and dance. Aside from music, she is particularly interested in fashion and photography.
Growing up as the child of a working musician, Oceana got the chance to meet some legendary entertainers at a young age, including James Brown's famous saxophonist Maceo Parker. Last year, Maceo finally made her start thinking about her own career as a vocalist.
"He gave me the deciding push! Over the years I had kept writing my own material, but after a concert, Maceo said to me, 'You're ready now; do your own thing!'" Luckily this sentence took seed and she did not forget it. She started working in London on several songs and traveled to New York to record her debut album Love Supply. Suddenly things started to move quickly, the team worked well and they produced a fantastic album in a short period of time, which mixes the finest soul-pop, funk, R'n'B and reggae to make the rounded, international-sounding, top-quality album.
