KNOW GOOD MUSIC Interviews JADA STAR!
Rob and Matt had a great beautiful conversation with JADA STAR
Jada wrote the new song THE ORCHARD and recorded it with Dolly Parton (who just happens to be her aunt).
The song is on the newly released album DOLLY PARTON & FAMILY : SMOKEY MOUNTAIN DNA: Family, Faith and Fables.
Dolly gave Jada her name when she was born and Jada started her career as a performer at Dollywood.
She tells us about her appearance on the reality show "CLAIM TO FAME" and developing a great relationship with Chris Osmond (son of ... as Jada later found out... Donny F'n Osmond)
********
From her BIO on her website:
Jada spent almost a decade performing with her family members at Dollywood where she sharpened her performance skills and found her own songwriting voice. “I write what I’m feeling,” she says. “All my songs are very personal to me. They’re very true — either about me or a situation that I’ve watched a person I care about go through.”
In early 2021, Jada moved to Nashville where she continued her musical journey, exploring a fusion of the traditional, high lonesome sounds of the East Tennessee Mountains with modern pop music and an emotional confidence and honesty that has drawn comparisons to Nanci Griffith and Carly Simon.
That merger of varied musical traditions and deeply personal songwriting takes the spotlight on her debut album (from 2023), Tell Me I’m Your Angel.
