JAMILAH IMAHN

About Me

Born with the gift of rhythmic excellence, talented artiste Jamilah Imahn comfortably glides amongst a rare breed. Also referred to as “Phenom”, this singer/songwriter/rapper/producer/poet has been compared to the likes of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu yet she embodies the very essence of organic originality that places her in a category all her own. With luminous eyes and a radiant smile, Jamilah Imahn has the ability to captivate any audience with a set of effortlessly sensuous hip hop influenced vocals that are sure to keep your ears yearning for more.Influenced by vocalists such as Anita Baker and Rachelle Ferrell and rap groups such as The Roots and The Fugees, Jamilah Imahn started her music career as a singer/rapper in a 20 member hip hop entourage called the Forbidden Chapters, who later released an album under an independent label in 2001. But after the group separated, she then branched off and helped to spawn an alternative hip-hop/rock band called Fuse, a collaboration that soon inspired Imahn to become a student of the piano and guitar. Furthermore, to help hone her skills, she has performed on various stages in the tri-state area, which includes an appearance at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) as well as singing backup for notable producer Johari Newton (The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill) at the Knitting Factory in NYC.Though currently unsigned, her ultimate goal is to positively inspire the masses while confirming that success in any endeavor can be achieved without the compromise of one’s personal integrity. “I’m not really trying to bring sexy back because that’s already being done, and to be honest sexy never even left [laughing]. People are usually prone to find me a little intriguing, and I think I’m the kind of artist the world has subconsciously been waiting for.” And with songs such as “Safe” and “The Way” that have proven to be favorites amongst a variety of audiences, Jamilah Imahn is absolutely destined for greatness.
