Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com Jessi Colasante born May 4, 1980 in Long Island New York. Music was part of her life at an early age. Her mother, a vocalist as well, recognized her talent and immediately started her taking vocal lessons with a former Metropolitan Opera performer. She also studied piano. Once she entered High School she stopped her musical studies. She did not revisit her studies until her third year of college. This is when she realized that music was her calling, that this was her God given gift and she needed to share it with the world. She studied Classical music at Nassau Community College and then Jazz at New School Jazz & Contemporary Program. She sang on Anton Bass of Karmadelics album under the Jellybean label. She is currently working on projects with John Kano aka Havana Funk, which led to having a track signed with Defected records to be released in the fall. She is most importantly just completed her first album, which she wrote, produced and sang on. The sounds will consist of Soulful vocals over spicy rhythms. Her music consists of many styles such as Jazz, Soul House, Soul, Gospel, Samba, Latin, Funk, Reggae, Brazilian, etc. Her lyrics speak of life, pain, love, peace, strength, and weaknesses, present, past and future. Through her music she shares her soul, her experiences, and her life with the universe.COP THE NEW ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE http://cdbaby.com/cd/jessicolasanteShe is currently singing all around NYC so anyone interested in booking, please kindly send an email with all contact info including name, phone number, date and time of performance.
