REGGAEMERICANA vanguard Kelly Love Jones blends Caribbean rhythms with a skillfully wholesome body of lyrics that celebrate kindness, growth and the sweetness of connection. The New Orleans musician’s flair fuses World, Reggae, Hip Hop, and Soul with the direct immediacy only a seasoned singer/songwriter can provide. Having written with Grammy nominated spoken word artist Queen Sheba and opened for talent the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Meshell N’Degeocello, Stephen Marley, Steel Pulse, Arrested Development, and Dick Gregory, perhaps her most compelling musical encounter came from Chaka Khan herself during a chance meeting on an airplane. When Jones asked the Maestra what advice she might offer a single mother following her dreams, she quickly responded with the commanding wisdom “Whatever you do, don’t stop. Never give up.”
