Simultaneously looking back while looking forward, Jaxxee’s music pays homage to the classic sounds of blues and soul, while also innovating by blending these sounds with modern electronic elements and contemporary production techniques. Inspired by powerhouses Carole King, Aretha Franklin and Erykah Badu, in addition to the sounds of Portishead, En Vogue and the Black Pumas, her moody sultry vocals are commanding, evocative and timeless. RAW AUTHENTIC SOUL.
With the COVID-19 closures, Jaxxee had time to reconnect with her late-night creativity and is currently working on her first official solo project. Debut single “GONE”, is an exploration of her challenging relationship with her father and his hospitalization in 2021. The track explores the complexities of life, love, and grief, delivering a powerful message of empowerment: it's time to let go of relationships that no longer serve you.
Haunting cello and dramatic piano textures, paint a melancholic soundscape that guide you on a cathartic journey.
“GONE” was mixed and mastered by the renowned Grammy-nominated Count, known for his work with Tycho, DJ Shadow, No Doubt, and Mavis Staples. The production was in the expert hands of Neil James Cooke-Dallin of Burning Rainbow Studio, an award winner celebrated as the Instrumental Artist of the Year at the 2022 Western Canadian Music Awards with his project Astrocolor.
