Jameelah Sultry Soulful Neo-Soul/Jazz Singer Vocalist/Songwriter/Producer & ArrangerMy desire to pursue a career singing and performing started at the very young age of 6 Years old. I come from a family of musicians and singers and I grew up in the midwest performing in many local bands in my home-town, Kansas City Ks., as a backup singer and lead vocalist.I with other members of her family formed singing groups and performed many covered songs of artist such as, Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Teena Marie, Patti La Belle, etc... We received much recognition and many rewards performing. But my passion was with writing, producing and performing my own material.I relocated to Colorado in the early part of 2000. Although I enjoyed performing cover songs and continued to perform songs of some of my favorite singers like Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, The Emotions, Heather Headley and many of the neo-soul and smooth sounding recording artist of today and yesterday. My deepest desire was to become a recording artist myself.Golden
I introduced myself as a singer to the community of Colorado and as a solo act in 2002. I started networking with local musicians to then start a band called "Jameelah and the Soulful Grooves". All the while I developed my own Production Company/Record Label called "Jameelah Productions Inc", and produced my debut CD "Jameelah's World", co-produced with Bryan Gordon.My music is soulful, sultry and smooth. It's neo-soul/easy listening/soulful jazz. I like writing lyrics from my soul and with expressions of real life experiences of people, relationships and life lessons.

The Colorado Music Buzz Magazine Jazz - Blues: Under The Lights - Jameelah Tuesday, July 01, 2008 by Skip Reeves Kuvo 89.9 fm Radio “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.What's Going on
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 URL below for more information about Jameelah, her new CD, and where she is performing. However, keep in mind - this stuff is “grown folks music!”http://RasheedahJameelah.comHe is
Reggie McDaniel's Everyday Peoples Entertainment Guide review: June 12, 2008At last; some "grown folks" music. Smooth, sensual and sensational. Don't get me wrong, I like the music with it's booming beats also. However -- and there's always a however in life -- I also like to hear that sit on the couch with your arm around your woman and groove music, too. The CD released by Jameelah is that and more. With cover hits and original songs, Jameelah is a welcomed addition to the list of soulful women whose music makes you close your eyes and just smile. I'm waiting on the 2nd CD already!Keep Your Head to the Sky
Taxi's Song Review:Taxi: The World's Leading Independent A & R Company Song: Everything You Do Comes Back Your Way...Song: Everything You Do Comes Back Your Way...Style: Neo-SoulMelody: Good music in verses. I'm feeling the melodic build and progression to the chorus. Well done!Lyric: Engaging, Cohesive, Good use of imagery, Rhymes well, Communicates emotion to listener and vocals help to sell the song.You take a familiar proverb " what goes around comes back around" and spin it in a refreshing way. Good job!Title: Your title is solid and is used in a way that lets the listener know that it's the title.Rasheedah~~I like where you're going with this one. Your smooth vocal approach is fitting to the overall vibe of the song. I'm really feeling the movement in the bass line. Your hook is simplistic and to the point, the way the chorus should be. The vocal arrangements are soothing. you do a good job of switching it up doing the outro. Overall, I think this song is marketable and has promise. It gives me that "Easy listening/Light Jazz" feeling. In my opinion, you have a few options in marketability as your song can work in a few genres; that's an awesome quality to possess. You should definitely continue on the path you're traveling on because I can hear that you're doing what you are passionate about. Best wishes!Listener ID 235Whenever your're around
