Dubbed the “queen of electronic soul”, Billie Ray Martin first came to prominence leading the acclaimed deep house act Electribe 101, her unique voice leaving critics struggling to find words to match its beauty. Electribe 101 scored a brace of hits including the classic “Talking With Myself” before Billie departed to continue exploring fusions of electronic music and soul. After releasing the thoroughly scary “Persuasion” and the monumentally beautiful “Four Ambient Tales”, Billie found herself with a worldwide number 1 in “Your Loving Arms”. Three more hits and the album “Deadline for My Memories” followed. 　　 　　Since then Billie has worked with Ann Peebles, Carla Thomas and members of Aretha Franklin's band on her album "18 Carat Garbage", and has continued to release cutting edge electronic productions, including her 'No Brakes On My Rollerskates' and 'Dead Again' singles, and collaborations with DJ Hell and Slam. She is currently working on her new album; the first single “Undisco Me” was released in May 2007 and received an overload of praise and plays. 　　 　　Meanwhile, Billie has formed a new project, The Opiates. Already dubbed “the Carpenters of electro”, they have just finished recording and mixng their album “Hollywood Under The Knife”.
