Jaee The Artist is the soul of R&B Trap

Journalist. What first got you into music?
I was encauraged in elementary school by my friend named Shelbe Davis. We were freestyle queens and kings in elementary school. We used to rap and make beats on tables. I had support at home from my older sister Alma Davis and my older brothers Charles and Quienten Davis. Alma and Charles were rappers and Quienten was a singer. So I heard it at home 24/7. My mom used to have my younger sister, Tiana Blue and I sing at nursing homes, and funerals. I remember like it was yesterday. All my mom had to say to us was “Hit a note” and we would sing like birds.
Journalist. Who inspired you to make music?
As a young creator, I make timeless music.Music that will stand the test of time. So it’s not really a who, but what. I’m inspired by love.

The goal is for the fellas to feel comfortable loving, understanding and connecting with a woman. Rather it’s his mom, aunt, niece, cousin, sister, daughter, wife, friend or partner. Jaee The Artist is deeply rooted in her feminine energy, but balances out with her masculine energy.

If it no longer serves you or your energy, let it go. Respectfully.
