Album Notes

Catapulting beyond the box of traditional Gospel and Christian Contemporary genres, jaqi has redefined the voice of Inspirational music. Marrying clearly stated lyrics with aggressive yet soulful melodies and rhythms, jaqi leaves no room for misinterpretation.

Born in the nation's capital, Washington, DC, jaqi attributes an essential part of her artistic growth and development to her collegiate experience at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she studied and performed with various accomplished musicians. However, it was the spiritual awakening after college that transformed jaqi's song and reconstructed her life.

The debut album, "just jaqi" is a delectable blend of urban musical stylings and powerful lyrical artistry. This unique artist promises to vocally soothe, while challenging you mentally and spiritually. Simply stated, - just jaqi
