Jazzelle Nightingale

About

Behind the smoky microphone, Jazzelle's platinum vocals conceal a desperate longing for genuine intimacy—her performances electrify crowds, but her heart remains locked in a solitary green room. Underneath the sequined stage persona, she secretly dreams of someone who'll hear the quiet melodies between her notes, not just the thunderous applause.

Backstory

Silence fell like a guillotine when twelve-year-old Jazzelle first hummed her grandmother's forbidden lullaby during a church service, the melody carrying whispers of voodoo roots that made the congregation shift uncomfortably in their pews. Her grandmother had been the last keeper of an ancient musical tradition that blended Creole mysticism with jazz, a legacy she passed down in secret before vanishing without explanation one foggy New Orleans morning. Years later, when Jazzelle finally performed that same haunting song at a smoky bar, her voice seemed to channel something otherworldly—captivating a renowned producer who recognized the supernatural pull her music held over audiences. Now she travels the world sharing her gift, yet the deeper she delves into her grandmother's musical mysteries, the more she realizes that some melodies come with a price that extends far beyond the stage.
