About Me |
|
| Bringing positive messages to the world through music, Jai Finley sings the harmonies in her heart! It's not often these days one finds a songtress with the ability to blend the finesse of Phyllis Hyman with the artistry of Jill Scott, but Jai Finley's got that kind of vibe. Her feature story in the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper, (Sept. 22, 2006) promptly headlined "Star Power!" proclaims she has that "It" factor and the capacity to "wow" her audiences with her soulful renditions of covers and her own songs. The article came only six months after her arrival to the Atlanta area from her home in Oklahoma City and stands as solid confirmation she is indeed on the right path. Jai's natural ability to engage an audience with her stage performance, quickly made the singer/songwriter a fan favorite in the "Who's Got That Vibe?" talent showcase at the legendary Cafe 290 (renown for live jazz) where she's made several guest appearances with the Hudson on Bass band. Jai's velvety tones and sultry melodies bring back that old school feel with a new school twist. It's a merging of the heart and soul and for those who can appreciate real music, true talent, and a down-home groove, Jai Finley hits the spot. Some call it Neo-Soul, some Neo-Jazz, but what Jai does with a song invites her listeners to participate mentally and musically. In her song "This Lifetime" (a wedding favorite) she explores the soulmate syndrome and the possibility of finding that special someone "this lifetime." Cut to her song "Sweet Attraction" and she allows you to sit front and center on a sensuous flow of intense passion and intimacy "grownup style." If you've ever experienced a moment where everything just flows - the connection, chemistry, and vibe then, you can relate. What a blessing to enjoy such joyous intimacy... It's a spiritual journey and music is her vehicle of choice. Let Jai Finley take you where the groove is. Climb aboard and enjoy, cause this groove is dope! ============================================================ ===================== Jai says: Sometimes all it takes is a few simple words of wisdom to guide you in a completely different direction. If you're like me, then you are on a journey. I am following the road of my destiny, exploring the path of my gifts, and enjoying the beauty in each new breath. It is a reminder that life can be amazing and difficult, but with it comes a new opportunity of hope. Thanks for joining me and sharing in this groove we call "life." So, come on. Follow me.
