Jayms Madison introduces you to her world of sultry seduction through her vocal prowess in "Room Service." ATLiens, I had the extreme pleasure of interview Ms. Madison and here's what she had to tell ATLFab!...
K: At what age did you know that you wanted to be a singer?
JM:I don't really know what age I decided to get into music professionally but I was pretty focused once I hit junior high. I was sort of the local entertainer of my neighborhood. If someone couldn't remember my name, they'd just call me "the singer". I guess that helped seal my fate.
K: Who would you say has influenced your vocal style?
JM: Wow; so many people! Prince, Tina Turner, Dakota Staton, Minnie Ripperton...The list goes on and on. I'm easily influenced musically. Believe it or not, a lot of things I do with my voice were inspired by electric guitar riffs...
K: After listening to "Lost Your Mind," I defintely hear the electric guitar inspiration. But I have to ask, what's your favorite city on the East Coast?
JM: New York, naturally! No place like it. Don't get me wrong, every city has its own flair; but you know I'm a "Sex and the City" kind of gal.
K: Well, ATLFab! wants to know when you plan on stopping by Atlanta?
JM: I plan on coming as often as the ATLiens would like me to. I love everything about the "A" and its culture. I was out there for a performance on the 24th of April...
K: Tell me this...do you write all of your songs or do you let the ghost writers do their thing?
JM: I write a majority of my music and I love collaborating with other writers I respect every now and then. Its kind of like cooking. The more you play with the seasonings, the more you find spectacular flavors.
K: Mmm...something smells good! What's the first thing people say when they hear your music?
JM: I get a lot of comparisons to Tweet and Beyonce. I mean that really makes me feel good considering I respect them both so much.
K: Be your own critic just for a second...
JM: Hmm...well I guess the one weak spot I need to work on is calming my vibrato and learning how to turn it off and on. It's really hard sometimes but it's not always appropriate. I could work on my water drinking....I really hate water. It's odd I know but its honest. I have a
thing for iced teas and grapefruit juice. Thats it; I don't wanna give all my secrets away...


K: I bet all that iced tea you drink in New York can't compare to the sweet tea here in the Dirty South. Ok, ok final question...What makes you FABULOUS?
JM: Oh my...well I can't put my finger on any one thing. I'd hate to limit
myself. Maybe everyone should stay tuned and decide for themselves ;)
