A native New Yorker of Ghanaian descent, R&B and Afropop singer, songwriter and rapper Jameella Jè can trace her passion for music to age 3.
Saturday mornings in particular were special for Jameella. Those were the days upon which her late father would wake his children by playing music—everything from jazz to the highlife oldies. Music would fill the air from dawn to dusk, and Saturdays grew important to Jameella because she knew she would hear a new song every weekend.
The love of music that Jameella’s father instilled in her manifested itself when she was 9, and she began performing in public. In 2019 is when she began releasing her own music professionally.
Formerly known as Jamilla, this compelling musician has graced billboards in Times Square and Africa.
Her musical influences include “the one and only Lauryn Hill,” as she described her; Michael Jackson, Jay-Z, Kojo Antwi and Sade.
“What inspires me as a musician are life experiences and the experiences of others,” she said. “I have the ability to take other people’s experiences, make them personal, and translate them into relatable music.” She is now pivoting to rebrand her image.
“I am rebranding my image to be a more relatable artist and to be myself—unapologetically,” Jameella said. “And I cannot achieve that without peeling the layers and being the realest version of myself in my music.”
Ms. Jè's new single "Come Thruu" features Kwesi Arthur and KaySo. Her maiden EP, "GUDA" is set for release in 2023.
