Jevette - Everything Begins With One - My Life

Critics' Picks Dallas Observer December 14-20 2006 dallasobserver.com Montrose,Jevette Saturday,December 16, at CD Source ...Singersongwriter Jevette mixes some folk and blues into her smooth R&B, coming across as postmodern version of Mavis Staples full of attitude and confidence. Thoughtful and spirited, Jevette finds a nice meeting place of modern metropolitan soul and the classic pulse of Motown and Stax. Rarely does Dallas offer finer homegrown purveyors of urban soul...Darryl Smyers

"March 25th 2004 has been proclaimed Jevette Day in Austin, Texas by Mayor Will Wynn. Prior to performing one song for the Mayor and Council members, they will receive a Proclamation. Brenda Johnson Music & Film Manager Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau Live Music Capital of the World http://www.austintexas.org "

The words sultry, cool, and eccentric best describe the singer, songwriter, and musician Jevette. She was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and graduated from North Mesquite High School. Jevette grew up singing to the great R&B tunes that dominated the airwaves in the seventies. As a teen she honed her vocal talent through the church choir. Winning a talent contest at the age of seventeen was the beginning of Jevette's journey. From there, she went on to win dozens of competitions. These successes translated into media attention from radio & newspaper with appearances at over one hundred festivals.
Jevette combines her rich, passionate voice and her gut-wrenching lyrics with classical, latin and jazz style guitar. Jevette's configuration produces a style that can only be described as unique. She was nominated in the Dallas Observer 2002 Music Awards along side Erica Badu and N'Dambi. Jevette has played in venues such as Dallas Hard Rock Cafe, Deep Ellum Live, Gypsy Tea Room, and Ft. Worth's Caravan of Dreams. Jevette has a passion for the business side of the music industry and has established her own Indie label, Sound Byte Productions Inc. (S.B.P.) since 1999 S.B.P. has sold many copies of Jevette's first CD "Everything Begins with One".

Brian Carr Dallas Morning News July 5 2002 Neo-soul, folk, traditional blues - not exactly. It's hard to define the Jevette Band using these terms. Singer-songwriter Sonya Jevette fronts the band, which blends folk, blues, funk and R&B. Her rich voice is similar to jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves or neo-soul singer Jill Scott, with a smooth and bold flow that engages the senses. Ms. Jevette's slice-of-life lyrics sometimes are tinged with irony, sometimes are personal and self- reflective. She's easygoing onstage and establishes synergy with her avid local following. The band has been together for about two years and is anchored by bass, rhythm guitar, drums and sax. Recently, the group has performed at local festivals and has gigged at Deep Ellum spots like Fat Ted's. If you appreciate music that is steeped in both contemporary and vintage grooves, check it out.
