J'Wan Yvette
In the words of J'Wan: "Music is not just what I do, it's who I am."
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been singing as far back as I can remember and began writing songs and poetry at age 5. I grew up singing wherever I could including the school and church choirs, local bands and more.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have performed on several club stages in the DMV, and also at the Atlas Theater in DC which was my biggest audience to date.
Your musical influences
Aaliyah, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Jaguar Wright, Ciara, Mary Mary, too many to name them all!
Anything else?
We're only passing through this world on a spiritual journey. Music is the heartbeat and love makes the trip worthwhile.
