First Seed is the title of the debut album by Yummy Bingham but she is hardly new to the music industry. A former member of the group Tha Rayne, 19-year-old Bingham is the daughter of noted producer Osbourne “Dinky” Bingham Jr. (he has worked with New Edition, Kylie Minogue, Changing Faces and Bobby Brown), and the god-daughter Chaka Khan and Aaron Hall. She has been surrounded by music since birth. Yummy is multi-talented and very business minded. She is a trained dancer and is one of the music industry’s youngest female executives, as a partner in Muzic Park Entertainment with producer Rockwilder. She has also written songs for Amerie, Maya, Busta Rhymes, P. Diddy, Christina Aguilera, and Mary J. Blige.
Her self-written album has many hits: “Come Get It,” the head-snapping first single that features Jadakiss, “Time,” a track that showcases her versatility by being partially sung in Spanish and, “Queens,” an ode to her hometown.
First Seed has songs produced by Rockwilder, Loren Dawson, Troy Oliver, and Jake One. Her music can be described as “playful, edgy, and soulful;” she has a style reminiscent of Little Moe.
Bigham’s album showcases her powerful vocals with a youthful quality. First Seed is scheduled to be released in early 2006.
