Soraya Vivian

Soraya Vivian is an eminent English House Singer & Songwriter, ´Fierce Dance Diva´, Brand Ambassador and Broadcast Media Presenter. Born in Kingston-Upon-Hull, she was raised in Yorkshire from a family of theatrical performers and creatives which instilled her with a natural born confidence with which to compliment her voice. Her prodigious talent became obvious at the young age of 14 - which saw her perform several times a week on the national social scene, under parental supervision. The rest they say, is history.

Private schooling and early talent development saw Soraya Vivian achieve an almost immediate industrial acclaim, from which she went onto establish her name with the floor-burner ´It Must Have Been Love´; recorded with Friday Night Posse under the label management of All Around The World. Following on from this success, her self-penned number one club hit ´When You’re Gone´ was released by AATW and recognised as a long running ´Champion Tune´ on Galaxy Radio, even to this day.

Vivian´s stellar clubland status allowed collaborations on a global scale with top industry talents such as Doorly, Fedde Le Grande, Erik Kupper, Chris Montana and Strictly Rhythm, to name a few. She is exclusively endorsed in Dubai and the Balearic Islands thanks to her recordings through famed Hedkandi creator DJ Mark Doyle. As a result of these successions, she became the muse of the luxurious label and the protagonist of its´s live PA division, Fierce Angel; a brand which is now controlled under the Ministry Of Sound Label.

She has also enjoyed notable digital-delights, Stateside, when her 2012 Mad Decent collaboration with DJ Doorly on ´Rush´ trended on Twitter as one of the biggest records at that time. Other noteworthy international acclaims saw her reach number one in Poland back in 2013, with the Wet Fingers track ´Love, Sex, Intelligence´ which went onto showcase her vocal range across a nostalgic old-school summer tune.
