IllicitLife Entertainment: Bio
Niky - CEO
What's up, yall? Yep, I'm from Texas!! We do it big down here. I began forming music groups in college..went from a gospel group ("Unity"), to a stud group in 2001 ("Tomboy") and now I have established the most unique label in the south. IllicitLife Entertainment is taking a bold stand in the music industry, daring to be ourselves and showing others with the same dreams that we can do it too!! and we can be real with it. Our label comprises some of the hottest talent in TX/VA/LA. We have been running full speed since we put the mic in the booth. Since early 2006, we have already dropped two cd's. Triple Threat's "Get Ready" and The I.L.E., "Vol. 1", and we are on the verge of our third release, Alsace Carcione's "The Adopted Chyl of da South."

Dymond - Artist- Singer, Rapper
Dymond:
The Next to Shine
Considered a genuine treasure by industry producers, Dymond is one of the most sought after female performers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Native of Dallas, Scarlett Tenille Cooper spent several years of her childhood in Indiana but finished high school back in Dallas. Dymond became actively engaged in the performing arts (singing, dancing, stage drama) and the visual arts (drawing and creative writing); accordingly, she remained involved in vocal training and other areas of advanced choral development.
Dymond hit the Dallas underground scene at the tender age of fifteen when she recorded with the Rally Boys. Since that time she has worked with Robbie of No Love Entertainment; Peace from Chicago, Illinois and Midnight Studios; Vince, Corey, and DJ Lil E of Clout Records who also connected her with Mr. Cheeks and Just Blaze to produce the track “Sexin You”; and IllicitLife Entertainment where she is featured on The I.L.E. Volume 1. Currently, this entertainer sings, raps, dances, models, and even works as a free lance cosmetic/makeup artist; thus, she is an exceptional find for any producer.
Alsace Carcione - Artist- Rapper, Singer
Alsace Carcione:
"The Adopted Chyl of Da South"
Although Alsace Carcione has established herself as The Adopted Chyl of Da South, southerners aren’t the only ones enjoying the completely original raps of this multifaceted artist. Born and bred in Portsmouth, Virginia, Tracy Nicole Thomas began developing her musical talents by participating in her church band, church choir, and school band. During this time, she mastered playing the trumpet, baritone, and trombone. She cultivated her writing skills by writing poetry, short stories, small plays, songs and keeping a journal. Alsace has been actively performing since the age of eight years old; and as a result, she gained many supporters from Virginia who recognized her exceptional abilities early on.
After relocating to the Dallas/Fort Worth area in 2004, she set forth two main objectives (1) to produce a CD showcasing her work and (2) to be endorsed by a leading record label. In her efforts to reach these goals, Alsace currently holds a portfolio of nearly 70 commercial quality recordings and has been featured on several compilation albums released by independent record labels in the Dallas area (IllicitLife Entertainment’s The I.L.E. Volume 1, Finn’s Finn Entertainment Mixtape album, and the Suede da P album).
Her debut CD will be finely sculpted with a wide-range of sounds including vintage funk, melodious R&B, and intense hip-hop. Additionally, her narratives highlight several focus points such as the pursuit of success, individuality, sexuality, and the untimely death of her best friend. Because of her genuine insight and innovative delivery, Alsace Carcione is a “F.R.E.S.H.” alternative to the current pop idol mannequins and studio gangster rappers.
