Album Notes

The words sultry, cool, and eccentric best describe the singer, songwriter, and musician Jevette. She was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and graduated from North Mesquite High School. Jevette grew up singing to the great R&B tunes that dominated the airwaves in the seventies. As a teen she honed her vocal talent through the church choir.
Winning a talent contest at the age of seventeen was the beginning of Jevette's journey. From there, she went on to win dozens of competitions. These successes translated into media attention from radio & newspaper with appearances at over one hundred festivals.
Jevette combines her rich, passionate voice and her gut-wrenching lyrics with classical, latin and jazz style guitar. Jevette's configuration produces a style that can only be described as unique.
She was nominated in the Dallas Observer 2002 Music Awards along side Erica Badu and N'Dambi. Jevette has played in venues such as Uncle Calvin, Club DaDa, Dallas Hard Rock Cafe, Deep Ellum Live, Gypsy Tea Room, and Ft. Worth's Caravan of Dreams.
Jevette has a passion for the business side of the music industry and has established her own Indie label, Sound Byte Productions Inc. (S.B.P.) since 1999 S.B.P. has sold over 800 copies of Jevette's first CD "Everything Begins with One".

REVIEWS

great first album
author: Thunderduck
                            
A very raw and honest album filled with passion and tenderness. I like the intimacy of the acoustic guitar versions of these songs, it works great. I think if you add a bit of variety to your songs, such as using a bridge, different instruments, changing key, different rhythms, riffs, and styles, you'd add a deeper dimension. Your voice is beautiful and if you push yourself a little to add depth to your song writing, I think you can be the next Norah Jones! Keep it up!!!!

Good start but variety needed.

Jevette has a good start with this CD but some variety is needed. Many of the tunes use a repetitiveness that after time, becomes dull. This takes away from the listener's ability to maintain interest, which is a must on a CD. Practice and honing those playing and writing skills will help. And by the way, in the last sentence of your review, you wrote "their." The correct pronoun is "there."

Smooth music- Sweet voice

For a first cd, a nice mix. Jevettes smooth music, clean guitar and sweet voice combine for a very nice listening experience. I'm turning my friends on to her and look forward to more original music.

This is my first CD so I rated my self a 3 because...well it's the first one and I have many more to come. I titled this CD "Everything begins with one" because in order to begin you must start with one and move forward from their. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. Peace love and respect to all.
