Siloam’s music affair began early. “I knew singing was what I wanted to do when I saw Diana Ross sing. It was going to take a miracle, I was so bashful”. Desiring to join her high school choir; insecurity delayed her aspirations. Opting to become a doctor while at the University of Michigan, she took music theory and private vocal instruction. Not confident in being the front person Siloam found satisfaction singing backgrounds; where she would perform with bands, choirs, recording jingles and demos. Several times walking away from music but passion lingered.

A fascination for cars led Siloam to several years touring extensively with the North American International Auto Show; where her walls of insecurity began to fall. Once again this love for making music would call. Thankfully the turning point for Siloam came when she was invited to sit in on a rehearsal with Fred Hammond and RFC. That one rehearsal would lead to a year of recordings, performances and touring with the group that would solidify her affinity for music.

Best described as "Sade and Santana in a jam session"; Siloam's aromatic writing and delectable vocals dance seemlessly with intense soul/jazz infused rhythms. With delight you recogonize hers is a sound you have not heard before. Learning to embrace her uniqueness was like a poetic dance driven by a determination to be true to her heart.

As with the opening track, “truly muchacha” you are listening in on an intimate conversation where she tries to convince herself that she must tell the man she loves the truth about her past.

Detroit, Michigan (USA) native SiloamPool along with composer/arranger Sidney Howard wrote, arranged and produced her debut EP, "Colors of Black & White" stating. “As our sound developed, it began to breathe with a life of its own. It’s variety of tempos are crafted to serenade the listener, which is how music I love resonates in my ears”.

“My dad loved Jazz and Soul; my mother loved classical music. The artist I grew up on was as diverse as it gets”. The diversity of these musical influences include Nina Simone, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind & Fire, Sting, Carlos Santana, Al Jarreau, Pat Metheny , Dave Matthews Band and Kathleen Battle to name a few.

“When I began looking for musicians for the “Pool” I knew I wanted the best I could find.” Following some great advice from a fellow recording artist Gentry Shelby; he told me that “he always looks for the best musicians to work with because it helps make him better”. And the best she found with bassist Freeman Spells, Guitarist Rydell Chavez, Keyboardist Niko Marks, Drummer Ron Otis, Percussionist, Romell Alexander & Eric Wiltham. Theirs is a blend that ignites and soothes in harmonious time.

The diversity of the SiloamPool listener crosses every age, racial and social divide. “This kind of reach is a brass ring blessing for me; to connect with people anywhere”. The passion of things that touch Siloam’s heart is notably recognized in the metaphorical title song “colors of black & white”; which encourages us to appreciate the beauty in other races and nations. “It’s those things that make us different that make us beautiful. The song’s lyric is representation of races of people and how different and valuable each one of us is. ”Siloam adds; “to help heal what ills us is why I wanted to become a doctor ”. Ask if she has any regrets of not becoming a doctor? She gives a resoundingly no, “to write and perform music is what I love, that’s best of both worlds. Through music I learn, receive, give and hopefully speak to someone’s heart by touching their soul, their spirit” now that is what it means to be sent.
