About Talking Loud
In 2002 Leadsinger Musiex meets guitarist/producer Remi. They share the same musical interest and start to write under the name of Talking Loud. In the following years Talking Loud performs with band at different venues and as a support act for Tasha's World and Meshell NdegeOcello.(US) Due to many solo projects with other Soul/Hiphop acts Talking Loud takes a break. With these artists they perform on festivals such as Lowlands, Parkpop,Uitmarkt, the Hague Jazz and North Sea Jazz. By the end of 2006 they decide to focus on Talking Loud again and write all new material. This results in their debut EP “Come a little bit closer” released in Feb 2008. The EP is a small preview of what's to expect on their album that will be launched mid 2009. Talking Loud can be recognized by it's light, feel good Soul combined with more raw Hiphop and Funk/Rock elements. They write and produce all the songs themselves.

In other words : we are not worried about these young talents."
