About Me

So Okay its ya girl Zarinah aka Goldie Jawn aka Golden Brown the Everday Exotic. Born and raised in Philadelphia she grew up in the illest eras of music. Took a quick hiatus to the other side of the country...hangin in New Mexico for about 5 years is where a great deal of her latin influences came from. Listening to genres of music from country to tejano. From influences from Earth Wind and Fire to Nancy Wilson she knew that music would change her life. Her interest always lied in music but for a greater part of her life she focused on academics earning a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Science/Minor in Spanish from an esteemed College. In her spare time she was involved in varying performing arts such as Hip Hop, Jazz and AfroModern dance which were studied at the Koresh Dance Company and with her own dance troupe. At the same time she studied piano under the incomprable jazz pianist Dave Burrell and soon after studied vocals under the beautiful jazz vocalist Sherry Butler, former backup singer for Teddy Pendergrass. Soon after taking a break from dance and solely focusing on music, she decided that music would be her main focus. Blending hip hop, jazz, soul, rock and latin she is dedicated in keeping this music alive. A new artist on the rise big dreams and long roads she shall face.
