Jaz Elise is the new Jamaican female sensation brought to the fore by Protoje's In.Digg.Nation Collective label, alongside Lila Iké and Sevana.
Raised and moulded in the strongly cultured city of Kingston, Jamaica, Jaz Elise is an artiste who is on a mission to make great songs and uplift and spread positivity to everyone. Born Jasmine Taylor, Jaz Elise goes by her philosophy, “Fulfil your purpose by following your passions and your heart and be guided by the wisdom of those who came before. Know that you are, you can and you will”.
JAZ ELISE’s involvement in music started at the age of five in the children’s choir at her local church. She moved onto singing and performing at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels during her years at various educational facilities. This was no surprise, as she comes from a family of musicians. Her father is a pianist and guitarist, and her mother and siblings are also extremely talented singers.
JAZ ELISE has also heavily been involved in dancing as well as acting. She has co-starred in local films such as “Capture Land” (directed by Nabil Elderkin) and “Proscenium”.
JAZ ELISE was featured on Upsetta Records‘ Love Vibration riddim in 2018 with the song “Forever Guide” as her first entry into the music arena. In that song, she sings about being guided on her journey into the world of music.
In 2023, she was back with romance and lightness on “Rice & Peas”, a track that calls on us to fully embrace the moment when we realize how we feel about the person we love.
Last year, she released three new single, “Faith”, “Gunman” and “Unforgetable”. These songs are falling right into the musical unverse creaed in her EP “The Golden Hour”, in 2021.
