More about the new “LIGHTS OUT” song…

“Lights Out by J.A.M is the beginning of a band’s discography. The song carries listeners through the distinctive spectrums of any sort of heartbreak, representing anyone who has ever felt forgotten while dealing with pain, something that is as familiar as it is mysterious. Why must people experience through such agony? Why do some of us fail at listening to understand the real story? Could it be that we are unwilling to consider that some part of us needs healing first?This song is dedicated to the MMIW relief.”

Biography

Jamie Coon’s music has been described as “Soul-Pop” and while that is accurate, there’s more to it than that.  There’s a timeless quality to her music that comes from a simple recipe of well-crafted, melodic songs performed with feeling & superb musicianship.  The Oklahoma native sings her heartfelt lyrics with a soulful delivery that ranges from the anthemic to the angelic- and her backing band lays down an impressive array of musical styles behind her.  “Day After Day” is not just the title of her new album, but also the theme.

“My songs are really just about things most of us go through in our journey through life” says Jamie “simple human things like love & loss, joy & heartache.”  Each of the albums ten songs has its own distinct flavor and Jamie and her band easily slide from arena rock thunder to laid back funk to a back porch lullaby.  “It’s all the stuff I grew up listening to, from Otis Redding to Aretha Franklin, Elton John & the Beatles” she explains.  The result is an album that takes you on an emotional & musical ride- sometimes joyful, sometimes bittersweet, but always hopeful.

“Because we all go through this crazy life together” Jamie says “and we have to keep going, day after day”.  She continues “We made the first record- ‘Everything So Far’- with chewing gum & rubber bands but it turned out pretty well, and it got me out there in front of people”.  Indeed it did- Jamie performed gigs at Smithsonian & Kennedy Center in support of the album and won awards at both the Orange County Music Awards and the Native eMusic Awards.  Songs from the album were also heavily featured in several films including the Cannes-screened ‘Deceit’ with Joe Pantoliano & the indie-comedy ‘Long-Term Relationship’ plus the TV series ‘Ghost Whisperer’ with Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Not bad for chewing gum & rubber bands!  As a one-off project, Jamie also wrote the theme song to ‘I am Nancy’, actress Heather Langenkamp’s documentary about playing Nancy in the ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ films.  “Having grown up watching & loving horror movies, getting to write & perform ‘I Am Nancy’ for Heather’s film was a huge thrill for me” says the singer.  Although the deliberately 80’s retro sound is much different than Jamie’s usual tone & style, it fits the feel of the project perfectly. According to Jamie “That was part of what was fun- it was totally different from what I usually do. Id love to do more horror movie related music on the side” says Jamie.

But for now, Jamie’s got her hands full delivering “Day After Day”.  “We’re really gearing up to promote this album full on. I’m so excited to get it out in front of people”.

Say Magazine Feature

Say Magazine - Shon Denay

BIOGRAPHY

Shon Denay, is an Oglala Lakota Sioux and African American singer-songwriter from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Her vocal style is a blend of Raw Neo Soul, Vocal Jazz, Cabaret and Quiet Storm. With a distinctively unique yet soothing voice; Shon Denay embodies the vintage earthy sounds of past Jazz artists from the early to mid-20th century and the easy feel good vibes of Nu Soul today.

Shon Denay has currently completed the debut EP release for “On the Rocks” with producer Bosie T “Thursty”. The EP includes tracks: “Wanting”, “Sea Sick”, “Should I”, “Diversion” and “RIPn Up”, “Again” and “Comeback” ft Bryan Richard.

Being raised in the “City of Lights”, Shon Denay inherently participated in local talent shows like a fish to water, winning “Best Vocal Performance” (Lipservice Awards) and “Favorite Female” (Bounty Awards). In 2009, Shon Denay also provided vocals for the track “Gotta Move On” on the “Love vs Pain Project” produced by Bosie T. In 2016, she provided vocals for the tracks; “Make Her Say” “Infidelity” and “Chain Reaction” on Chico Spitz “City of Devils” EP.

Alongside her singing, Shon Denay honed her stage presence by being cast in high school plays, hosting benefit award shows and joining the school’s dance troupe, Illusion. In 2002, Shon Denay became a founding member of Twisted Dance Troupe and remained active for seven years. In 2015, Shon Denay also assisted the founding member for CTWAY, “Change The World Around You”. An up and coming nonprofit organization based in Las Vegas that highlights and showcases local talent.

She concurrently sharpened her writing ability by entering and winning a national Hair and Makeup Makeover Contest by Glamour Magazine, a local Gary Spivey Haunted House Contest by 98.5 KLUC and was 1st Runner Up to be published by The International Library of Poetry in “Under a Quick Silver Moon”. This ultimately steered her lyrical content to be based mainly on all matters of the complex human emotion.

Shon Denay plans to release a limited production run of the EP “On The Rocks” in CD format and in digital format via online music outlets in 2018. Being that she is currently independently produced; her career path is directed towards a successful grassroots campaign to raise funds for the LP album in hopes to create a limited edition vinyl version to be carried in independently owned record stores.
