Bio
Setra, whose name means “daughter of the sun,” grew up all over the world.
After breaking free from Columbia Records, Setra worked with Tony Wilson (tech on the Rolling Stones’ Bigger Bang tour) to build her own home recording faciity where she wrote and produced a collection of songs about life, aptly entitled “Songs About It.”
In addition to writing these catchy, quirky songs, Setra also performed the music and produced and mixed the album herself along with a little help from some great musicians. Pianist, Joe Scott, (Lou Rawls, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson) added his magic fingers to “Hearts & Flowers.” Kamu (Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross) played guitar on “This Time,” and co-produced the track. “In My Room” is one of several songs Setra recorded for Columbia Records.
In addition to producing her own debut CD, Setra also arranged and performed vocals for Hoppy Komiyama on his Toshiba-EMI album and on the Refugee Camp’s production for Sony/Japan artist, Pushim’s hit single, “It’s Too Late.”
In the documentary “Love Letter to New York” Setra, Clive Davis, Chocolate Genius and a host of others talk about their love of music and making it happen in New York City.
Setra got her first tattoo on the much talked about hit show, LA Ink, where she shared her views about her music and sang for her television audience.
One listen to Setra’s introspective lyrics, catchy melodies and sultry vocals and it’s clear why she’s been sought after by Sony for both her writing skills as well as her artistry.
