Ryan, Jasmine and Chelsea are “Love Dollhouse.” They are all 19 and
from Detroit. Like other groups, they have gone through a couple member changes
and the usual ups and down associated with trying to make it. The group started
with Ryan who met Jasmine in middle school and formed a bond over singing. They
wanted a trio so over the ensuing years saw several third members come and go,
recorded demos with various local producers and finally secured a good manager.
In June of last year they held auditions and Chelsea came aboard. These ladies
have the looks, the vocals and the dance moves but more than that they are
dedicated and serious about their craft. In doing this interview I also found
them to be fun loving, laugh a lot and relate in such a down to earth fashion.
You wouldn’t know they were in showbiz in a different setting.
Their new single “Can I,” is right on the money for something new. It’s funky, has
an infectious beat that will have you grooving even if you aren’t dancing. It’s
about a lady taking the initiative to let a guy know she is interested but in a
tactful way keeping her integrity and class. The YouTube video already has over
a half million hits and this cut is shaping up to be
Hailing from the city world famous for
Motown Records, what is the current music scene like there? Ryan says, “There
are so many talented people in Detroit and they are all just coming up I feel
like and a lot are coming out with new music including us. People in Detroit
are being discovered and we can finally say look at all of the talent in
Detroit. Actually it has always been that way, it’s awesome.” Chelsea chimes in
saying “Detroit will be right back on the map very, very soon.” How did the
hook up with Russell Simons happen? Jas explains, “We actually signed with
Steve Rifking through SRC and he then started a joint label with Russell and we
signed with him as well.”

This columnist has personally
wondered over the years what it is like to be there in the beginning when a new
musical act emerges on the scene. What were the situations, early gigs and
changes that the new artists went though before they became megastars? How
fascinating it would have been to have hung around The Supremes, Destiny’s Child
or TLC right after they were signed and watch their journey to the top unfold
right before your eyes? That kind of observational opportunity comes once in a
blue moon so in the case of the new vocal girl group “Love Dollhouse,” this columnist has that rare chance to see the
unknown girl group turned superstars phenomenon happen again and history
repeats its self.

What was their experience like performing
live at the BET Matters concert at the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall out door
plaza? “Ryan lights up, “It’s great! We got to perform, we’re excited. This is
our first show in LA so we were just excited period.” Chelsea adds, “The crowd
was expecting something so we had to come. At the end we had fun. It was
amazing and we were so blessed to be a part of this.” The group is currently
working on their debut album and you can look for them on tour in the future. “Love Dollhouse” has definitely arrived!
