Today we’d like to introduce you to Jalisa Faye.
Jalisa Faye is an extremely talented and passionate singer and songwriter that loves God with all of her heart. She began her journey with music in the dance arena and became more familiar with her voice at around the age of seven. She made her debut in 2014 with the release of her first EP “The Prologue,” and aims to follow that project with the highly anticipated release of her upcoming full-length album, “Starting Over.” Jalisa Faye has had the opportunity to share the stage with amazing artists in the Gospel industry such as Travis Greene, James Fortune, Jonathan Nelson, Bebe Winans, Tye Tribbett, etc. Her goal as an artist is to relate, inspire, and uplift listeners with her music.
Please tell us about your art.
I am a singer, songwriter and vocal coach. I create music because it gives me an outlet and way of expression. Most times, when I can’t explain how I feel in conversation, I can do it with music. When I make music, I want listeners to be able to relate to it, be uplifted, inspired and motivated by it. I want people to be encouraged by the music and the story behind it. When I coach, I want people to leave my sessions feeling motivated to become the best singer they can be. I serve as a vocal mentor with Guitars Over Guns at North Miami Senior High School, and I aim to give those students the determination and the hope that they can achieve their musical, academic, AND personal goals with the right amount of commitment and dedication.
Everything I do is driven by passion. Passion that I want to instill in others through coaching, mentoring, singing, writing, and creating all around.
We often hear from artists that being an artist can be lonely. Any advice for those looking to connect with other artists?
My advice would be to put yourself out there. Go to different events and support others. Reach out on social media. You can stay in touch with just about anybody with social media at its height right now. Keep showing your face, so people will know who you are and become familiar with you. Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to people!
How or where can people see your work? How can people support your work?
My EP “The Prologue” and new single “Starting Over” are available for sale on iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Play, and CD Baby. My music video for “Starting Over” is on YouTube. You can also follow me on Instagram: @jalisafaye and Facebook: JalisaFaye to keep up with live shows!
