Getting The Funk Out: Q&A with Singer TRAEDONYA!

It’s almost impossible to categorize the sound of Traedonya Chequelle. She is a seasoned music business veteran that seamlessly blends R&B, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Funk into her work. Affectionately known as “The Bride of New Funk Hipopera”, TRAEDONYA! has touched listeners around the world.

The North Carolina-born, New York-bred singer-songwriter has been contributing her to voice to other artist’s music for over 2 decades, but TRAEDONYA! is ready to capture the ears of fans with her own upcoming digital EP High Fructose Corn Syrup. The forthcoming project will feature a cover of Sly and The Family Stone’s “Family Affair” and her latest single “Another Lie” produced by Large Professor.

DZI: The Voice interviewed TRAEDONYA! to discuss her new EP, starting in the industry very early in life, her other passion of bike riding, and more.
