JAZ ELISE
Born Jasmine Taylor in Kingston, Jamaica, Jaz Elise’s first introduction to music was singing in the church choir as a young child. Her father, a gospel musician, laid the foundation for Jaz’s musical aspirations. In 2020, Jaz Elise joined In.Digg.Nation Collective’s roster, the record label and management company founded by Grammy-nominated artist Protoje. With only a handful of songs in her repertoire (including her hit song “Fresh & Clean” feat Govana) and an undeniable knack for fusing soul, R&B, reggae and dancehall, the aspiring singer stepped into the spotlight in 2021 with her debut EP The Golden Hour.
