NYA JADE'S 'ONE PILL' DEBUTS ON VH1 SOUL: Her CD, My Denial, In Stores May 16

(March 15, 2006)

“I’m such a fan of different forms of music,” Nya Jade says. “My goal from the start was to make a record where no two songs sounded exactly the same, with my voice tying it all together.”

As part of the re-launch celebration of VH1 Soul, the 24-hour network that brings music lovers the hottest soul, neo-soul and R&B hits from the 90s and today, premiered the video from the remarkable new talent, Nya Jade. ONE PILL, the first single from Jade’s debut album, MY DENIAL, saw it’s world premiere on February 27th and is currently running every hour on the hour.

In addition, VH1 Soul will add the video to their power rotation. The channel which airs in 20 million U.S. households, is currently airing videos by Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige and Usher, to name a few.

This San Francisco-based singer/songwriter has already drawn acclaim throughout the Bay Area for her unique music, a bold blend of sounds utterly unbound by genre, unified by Jade’s passionate, perceptive vocals. MY DENIAL marks the emergence of a resourceful and gifted young artist, one whose fierce intelligence burns as brightly as her uncommon creativity.

A Stanford University graduate who once focused on a career in medicine, was forced to rethink her priorities when she was hit by a speeding car her junior year of school. While recovering, Jade’s guitar lessons became a crucial part of her physical therapy, while songwriting helped her heal emotionally.

Intent on going full on with her music, Jade recorded a series of tracks with up-and-coming Bay Area producer Tone (Green Day and Santana). The songs received airplay on the local alternative station, Channel 104.9 FM, whose support led to Jade’s sharing the stage with the likes of The Donnas, Evanescence, Ben Kweller and Maroon 5.

When the time came to record her debut album, Jade headed down to Los Angeles to work with legendary producer Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, John Lennon). Combining the Douglas-produced sessions along with those helmed by Tone, the resulting MY DENIAL is unquestionably representative of Jade’s multi-faceted personality. At turns poignant, humorous, and fraught with great beauty, Jade explores the complex emotional terrain of interpersonal connections in all their many permutations while cruising effortlessly through irresistible ballads, buoyant rock, and soulful pop symphonies.

Following the world premiere of ONE PILL on VH1 Soul, Jade will be featured in Black Beat Magazine, Right On! Magazine and VH1.com. ONE PILL will also be featured on the influential AAA radio station, KFOG, a station that has made up the fabric of the San Francisco music scene for over 15 years.

MY DENIAL is currently available on cdbaby.com and will be released nationwide May 16th on Katako Records.
