Even with the recent cold weather of the winter, the stage is the warm place to be when Jada’s on it! This girl group is on fire with their recent signing with Universal Motown Records, get ready to hear a lot more from these girls!
FTV sat down for an online chat with Jada to catch up with them and find out what life is like for these new Universal Recording Artists!
FTV:CONGRATULATIONS on your signing with Universal Motown Records!!
Jada: Thank you soooo much! We were sooo excited to get the news and we couldn’t be more proud to be a part of the Motown family!
FTV: That is so awesome, you deserve only the best! We wish we could have been at your celebration party, how was that?
Jada: Thanks! The party was amazing! It definitely took a second to plan! We had such a good time and there were so many people there! We did a 1960s Motown theme where we dressed up and got our hair done in old school beehive do’s etc. We went all out. There are some fun party pics on our myspace at www.myspace.com/jada if you guys want to check them out!
We pretty much ate food, mingled and danced the night away! We had this awesome cake done that said “Motown’s newest Divas” and we were so busy all night that we completely forgot to cut the cake! That was pretty funny we have to say.
FTV: What was the process like in having Universal Motown Records discover you?
Jada: Well, over the whole summer of 06 we showcased for about 9 major labels in NYC and Motown was the last label we saw. We actually found out that they wanted to sign us to their label the day after Jacyn’s Birthday! It was extremely emotional and amazing. There was crying, laughing, more crying, some jumping up and down and some swearing! I mean, shhhh don’t tell anyone! We couldn’t believe what we were hearing! Motown has had such amazing acts like Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Temptations, The Jackson 5 and sooo many more performers that have shaped the music Industry. We feel so honored to be on the same label as these legends.
FTV: it must have been so surreal to see how all your hard work paid off and just the feeling of victory in reaching this goal! How awesome!
Jada: Thanks! Now we have MORE work to do!!! It’s a fun job though
FTV: What was it like on your very first day as “Universal Motown Recording” artists?
Jada: We dressed up, signed our contracts and ate!
FTV: good food??
Jada: I think we had chocolate that day–and fruit, and all kinds of fun stuff! Our manager and producer gave us tickets to see Cirque Du Soleil as a congrats!
FTV: how did you like the show??
Jada: It was phenomenal
FTV We’ve heard it’s amazing!
Jada: We all were thinking…”let’s incorporate some of Cirque Du Soleil into our live concert someday!”
FTV: We understand you’re going to be recording a whole new album, how far along are you on it?
Jada: Well we’ve got about 13 songs in the can (demo’d out). Word on the street is we’ll probably be doing about 30 songs so we can pick the best 12 at the end for the album! We hope to get some really good stuff over the next month or two. Our goal is to get a single out as soon as we have it recorded.
FTV: Would you ever be a guest judge on American Idol?
Jada: I don’t think I would wanna be a judge but I definately enjoy watching the show. When I see auditions, a lot of things run through my head. Of course I give these people a lot of credit for what they are doing. As a performer I know what it’s like to audition for something and it can be a little nerve wracking sometimes, especially when you’re auditioning in front of the whole world! Some of the people who audition are really funny, and then there are people who are extremely talented, so it’s a good mix and makes for a very entertaining show I must say! haha.
FTV: Maybe you all will have your own reality show one day! haha
Jada: Yes, we absolutely want to do that! We’re so goofy all the time, I’m sure it would make for an interesting show!
