Liquid
Nightclub in Gloucester gets to play host to two of the UK's most
glamourous Urban artistes this November with a head to headline
special featuring Lisa Maffia and Romeo of So Solid Crew fame.
I
wasn't always mad about being a star but I was always mad about
singing. |

Maffia |
Lisa
is known as The First Lady of So Solid because she was the sole
woman in the massive south London garage outfit.
"I
wasn't always mad about being a star," said Lisa "but
I was always mad about singing."
Raised
on Whitney and Marvin Gaye
Lisa
was raised on Luther Vandross, Whitney and Marvin Gaye and despite
some low paid jobs and becoming a single mum when she was pretty
young her love of music just wouldn't go away.

Romeo:
Urban heartthrob
|
It
was when she was 18 that she made her first recording with South
London friends So Solid and from then on, her career started to
really move.
The
band got their first number one with '21 Seconds', in August 2001
followed by platinum album, They Don't Know.
Now
Lisa is embarked on her solo career and her glamourous image certainly
means she gets her fair share of the limelight.
Heartthrob
Romeo
Lisa
is joined at Liquid by fellow So Solid heartthrob Romeo. His hit
singles Romeo Dunn and ItÂ’s All Gravy confirmed him to be at
the forefront of the genre and his record Solid Love combined ragga,
acid, jungle, garage and contemporary R&B.
Romeo
and Lisa Maffia will performing individual headline sets on the
night. So get
ready for a night of distinctive urban grooves!
