Album Notes

Jameelah
Sultry Soulful Neo-Soul/Jazz Singer
Vocalist/Songwriter/Producer & Arranger

I started singing at the age of 6 years old and my desire to pursue a career singing and performing started at a very young age. I come from a family of musicians and singers and I grew up in the midwest performing in many local bands in my home-town, Kansas City Ks., as a backup singer and lead vocalist.

I and other members of her family formed a singing group called the "Progressive Singers" and we performed many covered songs of artist such as, Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Teena Marie, Patti La Belle, etc... I received much recognition and many rewards performing in bands and as a solo act. But my passion was with writing, producing and performing my own material.

I relocated to Colorado in the early part of 2000. Although I enjoyed performing cover songs and continued to perform songs of some of my favorite
singers like Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, The Emotions, Heather Headley and many of the neo-soul and smooth sounding recording artist of today and yesterday. My deepest desire was to become a recording artist myself.

I introduced myself as a singer to the community of Colorado and as a solo act in 2002. I also started networking with local musicians to then start a band called "Jameelah and the Soulful Grooves". All the while I also developed a Production Company/Record Label called "Jameelah Productions Inc", and produced my debut CD "Jameelah's World", co-produced with Bryan Gordon.

My music is soulful, sultry and smooth. It's neo-soul/easy listening/soulful jazz. I like writing lyrics from my soul and with expressions of real life experiences of people, relationships and life lessons.
