The ROUND 213: Naomi Wachira, Jessica P, Jaiden G, and more @ FREMONT ABBEY

"The resolute soul anthem "African Girl (2012)" launched Afro-Folk singer/songwriter Naomi Wachira onto a completely new path and calling, and she is committed to changing the world by creating music that is meaningful, uplifting, and sustaining. She has released two full-length albums, Naomi Wachira (2014) and Song of Lament (2017), as well as two EPs, I Am Because You Are (2015) and Save Everything (2021). Her captivating melodies and poignant lyrics console and delight people all around the world. She hopes to inspire others with her music, which has been praised for its capacity to uplift people."

-Artist Bio

"Jess’s music often crosses genre lines but can best be described as pop fusion. She seamlessly incorporates elements of folk, blues, rock, funk, jazz, and more into her easy-listening pop originals. She draws inspiration from artists like Rachael Yamagata, Norah Jones, Missy Higgins, and Lake Street Dive and often gravitates toward melancholic ballads. Her lyrical signature is her introspectiveness. She’s not afraid to grab her rawest emotions with both hands and uses her lyrics to explore hard themes like faith and doubt, grief and loss, systemic injustice, and the messy, ever-changing nature of relationships. But no matter what genre she’s wading into or what lyrical subject she’s tackling, it’s Jess’s sultry alto voice that anchors her sound–along with her general disposition toward hope and optimism."
