- About Me:
- I started singing at the age of 6 years old and my desire to pursue a career singing and performing started at a very young age. I come from a family of musicians and singers and I grew up in the midwest performing in many local bands in my home-town, Kansas City Ks., as a backup singer and lead vocalist.
I and other members of her family formed a singing group called the "Progressive Singers" and we performed many covered songs of artist such as, Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Teena Marie, Patti La Belle, etc... I received much recognition and many rewards performing in bands and as a solo act. But my passion was with writing, producing and performing my own material.
I relocated to Colorado in the early part of 2000. Although I enjoyed performing cover songs and continued to perform songs of some of my favorite
singers like Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, The Emotions, Heather Headley and many of the neo-soul and smooth sounding recording artist of today and yesterday. My deepest desire was to become a recording artist myself.
I introduced myself as a singer to the community of Colorado and as a solo act in 2002. I also started networking with local musicians to then start a band called "Jameelah and the Soulful Grooves". All the while I also developed a Production Company/Record Label called "Jameelah Productions Inc", and produced my debut CD "Jameelah's World", co-produced with Bryan Gordon.
My music is soulful, sultry and smooth. It's neo-soul/easy listening/soulful jazz. I like writing lyrics from my soul and with expressions of real life experiences of people, relationships and life lessons.

“Musicians and Beauticians” - that’s the background neo-soul recording artist Jameelah says she comes from. Her latest CD release, Jameelah’s World, contains some lyrically strong songs (particularly those pertaining to relationships) that take us back to the time when feelings were poured out from the heart and into the public streets for any to share or relate to. I met Jameelah at a performance back in August of 2007. Her company, Jameelah Productions, was the sponsor of the event. Upon receiving a copy of her new CD, I had to agree with The Everyday Peoples Entertainment Guide radio host Reggie McDaniel, who calls her stuff, “grown folks music!”
After coming to Denver in 2000 by way of Kansas, and establishing her beautician business upon arrival, Jameelah set out to make her way in the Denver music scene. Not having any strong connections or a following, she started producing and performing at her own shows. Soon enough, her following grew into a respectably sized audience, with other artists who shared a similar style becoming more and more aware of whom she is. Jameelah mentioned that some fellow artists told her that to break into the scene in this town; she would have to compromise and play a significant amount of cover stuff, basically becoming a clone of other major label female artists. However, she refused to do so.
Her personal integrity and truth-to-self ultimately paid off. Jameelah has been well rewarded - receiving plenty of airplay in several major cities around the country, all the while performing regularly. Jameelah is also as good a person as they come. She represents what a woman is in their finest of forms: Classy, beautiful, dignified, and just plain ole’ nice! Check out the URLs for more information about Jameelah, her new CD, and where she is performing. However, keep in mind - this stuff is “grown folks music!”
