Singer/Songwriter/Pianist/Composer/Producer/Performer... just the beginning of words used to describe the talent of NiTasha Jackson. No matter what words may be used, NiTasha is inarguably gifted with music and has been since an early age. At just 18 months old, NiTasha displayed the markings of a child prodigy. She could be found "playing" her grandmother's organ for long periods of time, always making up her own songs, always singing and recording herself on a tape player. At the age of 5, NiTasha began studying music at Yamaha Music School in her hometown of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Here, she would not only learn to read music and play by ear, but her gift for composition would be cultivated. Before her sixth birthday, she had written and notated her first song. Over the next nine years, NiTasha would receive numerous awards and recognition for her compositions on state, regional and national levels from Yamaha Junior Original Composers' Concert (JOC), the Virginia Federation of Music Clubs, and many other organizations. In 1992, NiTasha participated in her first Yamaha JOC, a concert where young composers are selected by Yamaha Music Corporation to showcase their original pieces. Later, she was featured in JOC concerts in Virginia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, and California. In 2000, NiTasha was one of nine selected from the U.S., Canada, and Japan to perform at the Yamaha Highlights 2000 Concert. At age 17, she would be the first musician at a JOC concert event to include vocals in her performance since its start in 1972. Yamaha invited her on two separate occasions to perform at the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Show in Los Angeles to showcase Yamaha Pianos and their music education system. Before she was 18, NiTasha had worked closely with several professional artists and arrangers including Shannon Grama, Philip Keveren, M.B. Gordy (free-lance drummer percussionist for various artists including Neil Diamond, John Tesh, Wilco, and Green Day) and Linda Martinez (keyboardist/composer for Destiny's Child and MTV).

stay tuned... news. dates. and all sorts of marvelous things coming soon!

Just noticed you mentioned C.S. Lewis. There is an audio version of "The Screwtape Letters" where John Cleese does the reading. Amazing! The version I had was abridged, but there may be an unabridged version somewhere.

Love a bit of The Buckster. I've been listening to the first two doves albums like crazy lately. It's always good to dig out old stuff.
It's surprising how much you can re-discover! x

Have I mentioned that it was numbered as well???
I have number 26 out of 50!
How jealous are you now?

I actually camped out for tix for a Paul McCartney show, back when camping out actually was worth the effort. Had second row center seats at the Superdome. He glared at me when I yelled, "Play Stairway To Heaven". (Yes, there was alcohol involved).

If I could meet anyone, it would be Billie Holiday. Assuming the person had to be alive, though, I'd say Craig Finn (of The Hold Steady), Regina Spektor, Bob Dylan, and probably many others.

Quick returns aren't my strong suit either, but I'm good. Thanks for asking! Working a lot more than playing now, but looking forward to seeing Plants and Animals next month in Baltimore.

Oh, and you can add me to the list of people that hasn't met Jack White (or Jack Black for that matter, though I did see Tenacious D live once).
יוֹנתן- can we make love?





Apr 28 2008 9:49 PM

well, you're a beautiful "mutt" if you say so, but i wasn't calling you a dog. i'm making that noise dumb dudes make when they see a pretty girl, "arf arf". hahahah. i'm doing pretty fine, just won a dance competition, and laughing at that. still just kind've taken back by that. other than that, i'm wonderfer. i hope things are going well for you nitasha.

Hellooooo. I'm fine thanks. Just got a new band up and running. It's in it's early stages atm, just trying to find the right sound that we can all agree on ha. I haven't heard that remix you mentioned before. I will have to check that one out.

So how's things with yourself.
Up to anything exciting and new? x
Just Jenny.





Apr 25 2008 12:19 PM

thanks for the add xx
Neeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuulllll





Apr 24 2008 3:44 PM

Ah Local God. Good song.

I think that was towards the end of when they were good. Art Alexakis was so much better when he was depressed and had drug issues. I didn't like them as much when they became all poppy. And the cover of Brown Eyed Girl that they did was just...

Eugh.

Anyway, I digress...

I'm not too bad thank you. Getting towards the end of my first year at Uni now and lots and lots of work needs to be done and I can't be bothered to do it!

Not gonna get much done this weekend either cuz I'm going to two gigs and I've got a stag party on Saturday. Upsy Daisy.

You OK and all that?

Been up to anything exciting?

So I'm listening to "Bedhead Baby" yet again, and I'm thinking a Pennsylvania or Baltimore show is in order. A show by you, I mean. People who would pay to hear me sing need psychiatric help.
