Setra, whose name means "daughter of the sun" grew up all over the world. This multi-talented singer/songwriter/producer offers a unique blend of eclectic pop/folk elements combined with intelligent and insightful lyrics to create a sound all her own.

After breaking free from Columbia Records and the shackles of corporate blindness and commercialism, Setra worked with Tony Wilson (tech for The Rolling Stones on their Bigger Bang tour) to build her own home recording facility. She then wrote and produced a collection of songs about life, aptly entitled "Songs About It."

In addition to writing these catchy, quirky songs, Setra also performed the music and produced and mixed the album herself, along with a little help from some great musicians. Pianist, Joe Scott, who graced the albums of and/or toured with Lou Rawls, Aretha Franklin and Michael Jackson, added his magic fingers to "Hearts & Flowers" and Kamu, whose skills have graced the albums of stars like Chaka Khan and Luther Vandross, played guitar on "This Time," as well as produced the track. "In My Room" is one of several songs Setra recorded for Columbia Records.

In addition to her numerous musical compositions for the independent film genre, Setra also arranged and performed vocals for Hoppy Komiyama on his Toshiba-EMI album and on the Refugee Camp's production for Sony/Japan artist, Pushim's, hit single, It's Too Late.

You may have been fortunate enough to catch Setra in "Love Letter to New York" which aired on the PBS broadcasting stations last summer, as she, music mogul, Clive Davis, Chocolate Genius, and a host of other music notables talked about their love of and passion for music.

Setra can also be seen on episode 7 of the new show, LA Ink getting her sun tattoo while discussing her commitment to music and what inspires her, sharing her music with her television audience.

Award winning producer, Michael King, utilized Setra's writing and production talents for the groundbreaking documentary Rapping With Shakespeare which follows the lives of five high school students in Los Angeles, California's turbulent Crenshaw district.

One listen to Setra's moving lyrical style and sultry vocals and it's clear why she's been sought after by Sony for both her songwriting skills as well as her artistry.

"Getting a deal is not important to me," she says. "Getting the right deal is what it's all about."
