JESSICA CHAZ DEBUT 6 TRACK EP


(Jessica Chaz)

Hot on the heels of the recent successful release of her single, "Answer", Durban-born/Canada-based popular singer Jessica Chaz released her debut 6 track EP (Dreamin') on June 1, 2018.

Chaz’s releases come from Moodlab Music - an independent label founded by Jessica and her sister Vanessa Moodley. The label has been hard at work with the objective of not only bringing fresh and authentic sounds to music lovers, but also to provide more opportunities for female artists.

Commenting on the inspiration behind the record, Jessica said: “The inspiration behind Dreamin', is about the journey of fulfilling a dream. It didn't start out as the plan in general but when we heard the theme of each song and listened to the sentiment of the society and the people around us, it made sense that the now title track Dreamin' became one of my favourites and the title of the EP. Dreamin' talks about the struggle that I went through and that we heard so many people around us talking about - the struggle of deciding to take a chance on a dream,” she said.

“I feel like because I listened to an eclectic mix of music growing up, you will hear are a few musical influences on this EP. Ranging from country, to R n' B to Reggae to Pop. I grew up listening to gospel music, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, Queen, Cliff Richard, John Denver, Elvis Presley and the list goes on and I think that is evident in my music,” said Jessica.

There are 6 tracks on the EP. It was co-produced by Jessica Chaz and Vanessa Moodley, and mixed by Greg Bedford in Durban. The album was recorded in South Africa, Canada and the US

The Dreamin EP is now available at all major digital stores including iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Music, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal & Youtube. For more information visit www.jessicachaz.co.za
