She has been acclaimed Favorite Local Jazz Artist in several Michigan radio stations and been given several nominations in the category of Best Jazz Vocalist and Best World Recording at the Detroit Music Awards. Passion of My Soul is a sophisticated and lyrical all-acoustic CD with fresh interpretations of Brazilian and Jazz standards. Ja's style is both intimate and relaxed with vocals in Portuguese, Italian and English. It is a rhythmically sonorous collection of songs that both soothes and sizzles.

Lee Prosser, Jazz Review Magazine Passion of My Soul is an awesome CD. Recommended for romantic evenings with candlelight and satin sheets. . .
