Princess Superstar

The Corrupt Conglomerate, Inc.

Platinum blonde lyrics that cut into the fabric of our society, class and looks that kill: this is Princess Superstar now, then and forever.
Concetta Kirschner has her first taste of music from her parent’s daily servings of 70’soul and rock in the suburbs of Philadelphia; tired of the quiet life, the Superstar, packs her belongings and at the age of 17 makes her return to her native New York. She cuts her first demo immediately receiving incredible hype from the underground and from the majors who recognized her talent and futuristic vision. But she decides to release her debut album on an indie label.
More wise and focused, the Superstar produces and self releases in 1997 her sophomore effort, CEO, which would defy critic’s expectations and music industry categorization making her the archetype of a modern blend of hip hop and electronic music. She supports her album performing along side N.E.R.D., Bjork, Z-Trip and KRS-1.
In February 2002 the single “Bad Babysitter” enters the UK top 20 and is a staple for many months on MTV Europe and the heavy rotation proves that one Princess can move the masses more effectively than a prince, a Queen Mother and a prime minister.
When it comes to the Hip Hop game, the Princess has it on lock down and the critics go crazy! The unstoppable first lady then releases “F** me on the dance floor”, produced by legendary ghetto-tech/ booty-bar impresario Disco D.
Taking it to another level once again, she teams up with Alexander Technique, the king of mash-ups, to create the avalanche that is known on the dancefloor as DJs Are Not Rockstars driving people crazy throughout the globe; their self titled mix of 46 tracks mashed into 17 would then be unofficially released on Gigolo Records.
During the few years to come, the Superstar dropped some science on the Prodigy’s “Always out numbered…” which went to 1 on the UK charts in 2005; she also collaborated with Moby on his track “Jam for the Ladies” and on the recent Dr. Octagon record with Kool Keith.
In 2005, her majesty upped the game by bringing on the road a live band including her long time live DJ, Alexander Technique, by creating a real life opus which would unfold the stories told in “My Machine”: a concept album about a futuristic society inhabited by clones of the Superstar. Ironically, modern day vices are explored and superficiality is served cold dirty beats courtesy of Arthur Baker, Jacques Lu Cont, Alexander Technique and Junior Sanchez to name a few.
2007 kicked off with a bang- her Mason vs. Princess Superstar remash of Perfect on Ministry of Sound came out January 22, debuting at 3 on the UK pop charts; and her Gigolo mix CD featuring 10 years of Gigolo Records came out in February 2007 featuring Vitalic, Miss Kittin, Traxx, Arbotique, Hell and more. The song “Licky” with Larry Tee has made everyone’s party playlist- from Justice to Errol Alkan to Switch and etc. etc.
As Princess tours around the world, Djing at sweaty dance parties… Her most current and exciting news is : She’s in the middle of recording her brand new record with some incredible top secret producers!! So, Watch This Space….
