What is the Secret to the Success of Sneaky Sound
System?
While Sneaky Sound System has achieved phenomenal success in
the last two years, the group has been pounding out music for
more than five years. Originally, the group was comprised of
Angus and Daimon, who established their own production company
and began to independently produce their own music, something
that was not widely done at the time. Although the group
managed to achieve marginal success in Sydney when they first
formed, it has only been recently that the hard work and
tremendous talent of the group has been recognized around
Australia and even beyond.
So, what is it exactly that has led to the astounding of
success of Sneaky Sound System in the last two years? Their
debut album achieved top spots on the music charts and the
group even swept the ARIA awards in terms of nominations before
walking away with two much coveted awards. Their second album,
due out this summer, has been much awaited and is anticipated
to be even better than the first album.
In large degree, the phenomenal success of the band can be
attributed to the talented and beautiful Connie Mitchell, the
newest member of the group. Prior to joining Sneaky Sound
System, the young vocalist performed with the Aussie group
Primary. Mitchell and the two founding members of Sneaky Sound
System met in Hyde Park, where Mitchell was signing and playing
the guitar at the time. While Sneaky Sound System had already
developed its own distinctive Funky House Music sound, the
addition of Connie Mitchell has certainly enhanced the group's
collective talent.
Mitchell has frequently been described as being 'a star in her
own right.' With her fresh, young beauty and golden voice, it
is clear that the depth of Mitchell's talent has barely been
tapped. In addition to her work with Sneaky Sound System and
prior performances with Primary, Mitchell has also performed
with a number of other groups. During early 2007, Mitchell
recorded vocals with Kanye West and is featured on four tracks
of his album, Graduation. The singles "Flashing Lights" as well
as "Can't Tell Me Nothing" are two of the singles on which
Mitchell is featured. Mitchell has also performed with Snoop
Dogg.
Sneaky Sound System's second album will appear this summer.
Early released singles have already achieved wide acclaim and
it is rapidly becoming clear that 2, the group's second album,
will achieve just as much success, if not more acclaim, than
the group's self-titled debut album.
The group will be going on tour just after the release of the
second album in order to promote it, appearing in Brisbane,
Sydney and Melbourne. The vocals on the early releases have
been so critically acclaimed, that speculation is already
insisting this album could be exactly what the group needs to
experience an international break-through. If that is the case,
and it certainly looks as though it could be, then Miss Connie
can certainly be attributed with much of the group's dynamic
success.
