ABOUT

DO U COLLABORATE AND LIKE TO JAM? (particularly keys & midi-magicians/guitar/bass
are willing to sing and/or harmonize with me. I know lots of folks who jam, but I haven't found the right people I want to record an album with. I am still seeking devoted and talented musicians who meld with my unique style and commanding stage presence (I'm a 6ft tall strong Amazon), unafraid to take charge on some songs, and at other times, compromise... I am an old soul who sings, "Wit' a lot of SOUL"- I have been told a female version of Dave Matthews, a little like Ella meets Nora Jones and a whole lot of unique soul like Joss Stone and Amy Winehouse (RIP). I am sultry and Intelligent (I study medicine..) and LOVE Spoken Word Poetry. So, if you think you might enjoy a musical meeting of the minds, please feel free to make contact…Unless, of course, you are a prima-donna or flakazoid, in which, I would prefer to avoid any such encounters. Have an open mind and learn new things in others...perhaps we shall meet along this road... especially if you wish to help me create an amazing fusion of sound into an album. (Remember "Life has a Soundtrack...CREATE IT!")~JRo
