Naje live @ Coda
NaJe is an American jazz singer, songwriter, and recording artist. She sings soulful, sultry ballads and sweet jazz with a sound and style that is heavily influenced by jazz greats Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O' Day, and Julie London. She started her musical career in Athens, GA (indie-mecca and land of R.E.M., The B-52's, Man Or Astroman) playing with Athen's all-girl rock band, The Supervixens. After the Supervixens, she started her solo career and began singing with numerous jazz / swing bands in Atlanta and performing at top East Coast venues and festivals: The Athens Music and Film Festival, The Athens Jazz Festival, Chicago's New Music Festival, The Cotton Club, The Tongue and Groove, The Fabulous 40 Watt, The Atomic Music Hall, The Sambucca Jazz Café, The Georgia Theatre, Cat's Cradle, The Covered Dish, and The Velvet Elvis.
In 2006, NaJe and British sound designer/composer, Mike Barnes, released trip-hop/downtempo album 'Cinephoniq' which is currently available on iTunes. The album fills the gap between solo female vocalists and electronica - fusing powerful, uplifting vocals with 1960's lounge influenced voices and backing instruments with a touch of today's modern electronica and trip hop. On this album is also their original jazz ballad 'Desidere',
NaJè and writing partner mBlaze met in LA in the late 90's where they decided to join forces after quickly realizing they shared a mutual passion for video, film, and music. Together they worked for software start-up, Lava.com, producing interactive music visuals for artists such as Moby, Earth Wind and Fire, De La Soul, and George Clinton, and from there they decided to write and record tracks for 'Cinephoniq' Volume 1 and 2.
