Jamosa

Marketed as Japan’s response to Mary J. Blige, R&B vocalist Jamosa provides stacked up an extraordinary variety of collaborations to time, without credit scoring the consistent graph achievement that her stateside soundalike provides managed. Her incredible appearance cannot exclusively be put right down to a container of red locks dye: she was created in Fukuoka, southern Japan, to a Japanese dad and Taiwanese mom, and has resided in both Japan and Taiwan. Jamosa charted an early on training course to pop stardom when, being a 10-year-old, she sang as an associate of the children’s choir support Michael Jackson at a display in Fukuoka within the singer’s Harmful tour. She captured an even larger break at age group 17, when her self-penned monitor “Papa” was found for the Adam Sandler humor Small Nicky (2000), though it never managed to get towards the soundtrack. Jamosa divided her teenagers between your U.S. and Japan, where she collaborated with million-selling pop-rap duo Def Technology and rap supergroup Teriyaki Boyz, amongst others. She also resulted in on The Crimson Recording mixtape by DJ Whookid. In 2005, Jamosa’s 1st Japanese-language launch, the mini-album Standing up Strong. The next yr, Japanese reggae designer Corn Head guested on Jamosa’s rap-flavored “Lenai-Yo” solitary, which reached number 3 in the Oricon indie graph. Jamosa’s major-label debut, Fantasy (Virgin Japan) got for the digital graphs. Because of its follow-up, Jamosa once again appeared stateside for motivation, enlisting the combining skills of G-Unit maker Crimson Spyda. Her debut full-length recording, One, moved into Japan’s digital graphs and she registered towards the Avex label, for whom she’s documented two albums, including 2009’s Crimson.
