UNSIGNED
girl band Kismet are up for a major urban award. The trio, featuring Mandy
Giltjes, 25, of Barking, Lera Ghanie, 25, of Newham, and Charley Desborough,
27, of Kent, are touring the country this autumn in a bid to win a coveted Urban
Music Award.
The band, formed in 2006, performed their eclectic mix of pop, R&B and
dance at the awards' unsigned act competition press night in London last week.
Twenty outfits are battling it out at venues up and down the country this
month to get public votes and pick up UMA's best national unsigned act award.
Kismet are seeking to break their manufactured pop, girl band image, stressing
they have a range of influences and have been picked for the award out of
75,000 applications.
Mandy, of Dovehouse Mead on the Gascoigne Estate, said: "A lot of people
think we won't be able to sing and that we're going to be dippy."
"We're very soulful, we've got quite a few styles - pop, R&B, dance.
Eclectic is the word."
Now in their fifth year, UMA have sought to recognise public views and
highlight the strong urban youth movement in the UK today.
Previous recipients include Dizzee Rascal, and the organisers have introduced
an unsigned act category for the first time this year.
Kismet are coping well with the extensive touring.
Mandy, an assistant associate with Lloyds TSB in the city, said: "We're
used to it. Lera's got a little baby and it's very busy, but you get into the
rhythm.
"The ideal situation would be to have enough money not to work in
banking."
Kismet appeared at the launch party of Molten Festival, Barking, on September
29 and are scheduled to perform at Jo Richardson School, Gale Street, Dagenham,
on Friday, November 16.
