SmoothJazz.com is delighted to introduce you to this beautiful, confidant singer/songwriter. The young Ms. Amber Ojeda is equal parts talent and ambition and has managed to precisely dialed in the new world of music. She's continuously included on the MySpace Top 100 Artists Chart under Jazz/Soul/R&B (her MySpace page has received well over 600,000 visitors and she has nearly 30,000 friends), she has been awarded Best of the Best on the Internet by Kick Radio's Global Top 40, and her music can be heard on the Style Networks hit show, "Dress My Nest." Amber's musical approach is uniquely hers, but if I were pressed to compare, I guess Alicia Keys comes to mind because Amber has a jazzy attitude like Alicia and both blend in spoken word with elegance and sophistication, but there are also classic comparisons as well… Billie Holiday for one. Amber's 6-song EP offers up some deep grooves, fresh lyrics and a cool, new perspective on jazz. The Southern California musician is proof positive that Smooth Jazz is evolving not eroding… artists like Amber have been inspired by radio stations like KIFM and KTWV and they have actually influenced her style. We're meeting more and more young artists who have filtered the jazz of their youth (Smooth) and are creating the next generation of the format. All we have to do is open the door a little wider. ~SANDY SHORE
