Jazz - Blues: Under The Lights - Jameelah

“Musicians and Beauticians” - that’s the background neo-soul recording artist Jameelah says she comes from. Her latest CD release, Jameelah’s World, contains some lyrically strong songs (particularly those pertaining to relationships) that take us back to the time when feelings were poured out from the heart and into the public streets for any to share or relate to. I met Jameelah at a performance back in August of 2007. Her company, Jameelah Productions, was the sponsor of the event. Upon receiving a copy of her new CD, I had to agree with The Everyday Peoples Entertainment Guide radio host Reggie McDaniel, who calls her stuff, “grown folks music!”

After coming to Denver in 2000 by way of Kansas, and establishing her beautician business upon arrival, Jameelah set out to make her way in the Denver music scene. Not having any strong connections or a following, she started producing and performing at her own shows. Soon enough, her following grew into a respectably sized audience, with other artists who shared a similar style becoming more and more aware of whom she is. Jameelah mentioned that some fellow artists told her that to break into the scene in this town; she would have to compromise and play a significant amount of cover stuff, basically becoming a clone of other major label female artists. However, she refused to do so.

Her personal integrity and truth-to-self ultimately paid off. Jameelah has been well rewarded - receiving plenty of airplay in several major cities around the country, all the while performing regularly. Jameelah is also as good a person as they come. She represents what a woman is in their finest of forms: Classy, beautiful, dignified, and just plain ole’ nice! Check out the URLs for more information about Jameelah, her new CD, and where she is performing. However, keep in mind - this stuff is “grown folks music!”
