Dubbed SF’s soul siren by Elmore Magazine who praises Naje’s latest release as “she wails the blues, dabbles in old-school R&B, and hammers out light, airy pop mixed with her strong vocals” throughout her album New Day. “The album’s title track opens the record with vibrant reggae rhythms and the first hints of NaJe’s powerhouse vocals” says Elmore Mag, “followed by “I Can’t Stop”, another high-powered multi-instrumental track with sweeter vocal tones.”

Naje and her sizzling hot band aim to capture the essence of vintage funk/soul as it was at its height in the mid-60s to mid-70s with their album New Day spotlighting her soul-infused, powerhouse vocals and eloquent songwriting laced with the band’s psychedelic, ultra-funky old-school rhythms. Her band features an all-star cast of Bay area musicians with writing partner/co-producer Sascha Jacobsen (Rita Moreno, Musical Art Quintet, Trio Garufa) on bass, Mike Blankenship (Michael Franti, Sheila E) on keys and hammond B3, Danny Eisenberg on keys and hammond B3 (The Mother Hips, Counting Crows, Shelby Lynne, Jonathan Richmond), Dave Mac Nab (Bob Weir, Shelby Lynne) on guitar, Colin Douglas (Eddie Palmieri, Wayne Wallace) on drums and percussion, Guillermo Garcia (Trio Garufa) on nylon string guitar, and the Musical Art Quintet.

Born in Virginia Beach where her passion for music was cultivated with punk rock, R&B and jazz, the songstress eventually moved to Athens, Georgia to traverse the scene with her all-girl garage rock band The Supervixens. Since then, she’s experimented with writing all kinds of music, released a few solid independently produced records, and has performed at venues such as the De Young Museum, War Memorial Performing Arts, Yoshi’s Jazz Club, Boom Boom Room, Great American Music Hall, and the Fillmore Jazz Festival.
