I LIKE MY MUSIC LIKE I LIKE MY MEN - don't matter the genre or the style as long as its HEART FELT & SOOTHING, HOT & SEXY, FULL BODIED & LUSCIOUS, BARE & HONEST....but always SINCERELY BEAUTIFUL and ABLE TO MOVE ME ! ! !

MY CD IS CALLED: “COMING UNDONE...RETURN OF THE GODDESS” - (of course...I'll B playing the part of the Goddess!). I hope it captures all that I stated above.

One thing about me and music is that I am learning the concept KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid). I have a hard time with this and this concept was not used at all in the production of this CD, especially for the vocals....I'm a LAYER FREAK! and a ROCKER at Heart.

THIS ALBUM for me is my secret wish list for paradigm shifts....it's my potion for my heart to heal and my soul to seal the ever present gaps that elude and confuse me; that cause me to lose love that should be swirling around my body...my breath has been thin for far too long and I want to breath deeply....I want to see and want others to see the beauty that lies in the darkness, in the coarseness, in the negative spaces that we all deny and hold back and hold outside of ourselves...."I was just trying to breath and feed my soul...I wasn't a bad girl...they just didn't know how to love me" ....Most folks on this planet just don't know how to love (really Love) someone who looks like me, feels like me, walks and talks like me, dreams like me, fears like me, grieves like me, moves like me....no matter how much people say they do (and they lie and they take bits and pieces and pimp it but they never appreciate the whole - look around you'll see)....This CD is for ME and every DARK girl who ever existed (and I aint just talking skin tone - though that is definitely a part of it)...I'm talking the feminine mystique, the willful fire, the earthly magic, the intuitive knowing, the heart felt desire to be FREE and LOVE ! ! !...."I was just trying to breath!"

Growing Up I was a Rhythm & Blues and Jazz Vocalist Whore ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! If it didn't Have a Belting-Heart-Felt Soulful Singer with PIPES (and perfect pitch) on it.....I wasn't interested......now...it's kinda the reverse.....I've evolved...still evolving.....EVOLUTION - The Silent REVOLUTION.

Jeda's music shows similarities to some of her musical influences; reminding listeners of Zap Mama's, "A-ma-zone" (in terms of its ringing harmonies, full bodied layers, and feminine energy) mixed with hard hitting yet melodically wild rhythms reminiscent of Bjorks, "Post"; coupled with the sharp soulful tone and sustained notes of the Late Great Etta Jones....on such classics as "Don't Go to Strangers"

This talented singer / songwriter has fronted two DC based bands, releasing 2 underground EP's and 1 LP with her former band mates The People 606 and Trifecta...

...now she strikes out on her own !

....and is LOVIN IT!

...the live show is a must EXPERIENCE EVENT!
