"Why did she act the way that she did
I was about to blow my lid
Thinking she'd turn down someone like you
A pure case of selfish attitude
But when she looked into your eyes and said we're through
Did she realize what she had lost in you
Be my baby, my baby be mine
Be my boyfriend, my love and my life
Be my baby, please don't say goodbye
I'll be a comfort, I'll treat you just right"
The song “Be My Baby”
(small sample above) has given Ms. Naomi Carmack a fan base since she recorded it for a price of $200 when she was at the tender age of twelve. When Naomi was fifteen she entered the song into a local Top 40 Radio Station, Power 92.5 FM. They were holding a contest called the powermix. They were accepting demos from the local Canadian artists. When the results came back she had won third over the entire contest. Naomi won a cash prize of $2000 and her song was to be put on a compilation CD which was released in local record stores. The proceeds were to go to AIDS Research.
Naomi has always wanted to have a career in the music industry. At the age of eleven she and a group of friends started a small singing group entitled “New Release”. They were a typical girlband who in the beginning goofed off and some of the members really didn’t take it seriously. They wrote a few songs and one even was recorded in the studio. It was entitled “Jordan”. The inspiration behind the song is from the New Kids On The Block member Jordan Knight. Eventually the girls started arguing over the smallest things and eventually split.
In 1995, after her local success with “Be My Baby” Naomi was shocked with some exciting news. An online pal had e-mailed her to congratulate her on her nomination. Naomi was confused, she had no idea what she was talking about. When she opened the newspaper to discover that she was nominated in the Best Dance/Rap Artists category of the Alberta Recording Industry Awards 1995. It was an honor to just be nominated. Although she didn’t win she considers it a huge milestone in her career.
Naomi is now twenty-two. She hasn’t really recorded anything but has written a numerous amount of songs. She wants to do something with what she has written. Her main goal is to make a career in this business.
