The South African Popular Music firmament welcomed a fresh, dynamic and pulsating new star its very own exquisite music diva, JAE!
JAE is what’s known in music industry parlance as a breakout artist. Her stunning debut solo single" Missing you " had, in just two weeks, been play-listed on over 60 radio stations countrywide, achieving numerous number one placings over a diverse range of radio categories. Missing You" became one of the biggest musical events of 2002/3.
In Jae’s hometown of KZN, the region’s premier radio station East Coast Radio, placed" Missing You" at a phenomenal no 4 on their Top 100 Songs for 2002. This was the only South African song in the Top 20.
To prove that she was not a one hit wonder, she followed up with three other hit singles off her debut album, viz: Its Over, I Love You & Falling In 2004 /2005 Jae success continued with the release of the radio singles I Found Love & Jaelousy, resulting in her having no less than 6 national radio hits in the last 4 years.
Missing You" was written in memory of Jae’s sister Bronwyn and her niece and nephew who were killed in a car accident. Given the poignant history of the song, Jae’s achievement is all the more profound as it provides a leading example of the triumph of the human spirit over severe adversity. Jae on the verge of giving up her dream of becoming a solo recording artist was persuaded by her brother-in-law (Bronwyns husband Noel) not to let go of that dream. He, also needing a reason to go on became her business partner and manager and they independently launched her as an artist in the South African music industry.
Jae’s package of a gifted vocal talent, world class songwriting ability, stunning, sensuous good looks, explosive stage presence, as well as a level headed, proactive and realistic attitude to her life and career is guaranteed to bring her abounding and sustained international acclaim. Jae brings an astonishing rage of experience to her burgeoning yet trailblazing career.
The sensuous Durbanite has been singing since she was but a mere slip of a girl. Since watching a musical play at her primary school at the age of 6 years old Jae, says she knew at that moment, all she ever wanted to do was sing. She has since then blossomed into a respected songwriter. (All Jae’s songs are written by herself).
Jae epitomizes the vibrant spirit and promising potential of the new South Africa, and as such, she alone is perfectly placed to successfully continue conquering local and international markets in her inimitable style.
Believe it, the entire world will soon be dancing, romancing and living to the most dynamic letter in the A to Z of Pop Music: JAE!FOR BOOKINGS CONTACT:
