Da’Ja

 

Our mission is all about building

bridges between musical genres,

 generations, races, and cultures,

past and present. What people will

 discover when they listen to our

music? “It is Love.” Having such a

 mindset enables our production

 environment to be more conductive

 for innovative things to happen.

 

At an early age performing with

such artist as Anita Baker, Force

MD’s, Chapter 8, and The Time, as

well as legends Martha Reeves and

 LJ Reynolds; frontman John Smith

came up with the concept of

combining the forms of jazz, funk,

 R&B, and Latin which birthed the

 form known now as “Latin Funk”.

 

His vision of the genre came to be

after the tragic death of the artist

Selina. From that moment, John internalized his vision and

proceeded to go forth and create

 the sound that dwelt within him. To

 this day, Da’Ja has built the bridge

 of these special genres of music

 together and presented it to the

people in such popular venues as

 the Detroit Gem Theatre, Fisher

 Theatre, Chene Park, Hart Plaza,

Detroit Opera House, and their

debut performance at Captain’s Bar

and Grill. Da’Ja’s continued

progression is to capture the

 international circuit and bring Latin

 Funk to the forefront of the music

 industry.
