Jamille JAM Hunter is Michigan born/Memphis based Jazz and Soul singer-songwriter who is making her mark on the music scene with her mesmerizing vocals and contemporary approach to classic and modern jazz.

With years of gigging in the R&B/Soul arena under her belt, and previous classical training JAM began to train intensively as a jazz vocalist in Los Angeles at the World Stage of Leimert Park. Practicing technique under the guidance of drummer Billy Higgins, bassist Al McKibbon and Kevin O’Neal and pianist Dini Clarke, she fell in love with jazz and never looked back. Seeking an international experience she left Los Angeles and hit the stage in Nagoya, Japan where she honed her craft as the lead vocalist at the Stardust Jazz Lounge.
