New EP "Just Vibin' "

 (Pronounced Ja-VA-lee) this up and coming arranger/composer, singer, and producer mixer/ engineer of her own jazz & r&b music. Born and raised in Sacramento, California Jhavali has been singing since the age of five. At the age of 11, she developed a love for writing music. Jhavali comes from a musical family and was introduced to r&b and jazz by her mother, father, and uncles. Her first instrument was in her 6th-grade band, which was the clarinet. There she learned to read music, taught by her music teacher coincidentally named Ms. Keys.

She also had a strong interest in playing drums and moved on from clarinet to learning about drums in 6th grade, starting with the snare drum. At the same time, Jhavali developed a strong interest in composing songs using her keyboard. She had a music book from a local music shop and in that book, she would find her passion. She picked a song to play using her Casio keyboard Frank Sinatra's "All Of Me". She re-wrote and re-mixed the song into a pop genre using her keyboard and has been writing music ever since.

By the age of 14 Jhavali was transforming the family room into a make-shift recording studio. Every weekend using her mother's home stereo equipment to make her own tracks. She used an analog stereo with a cassette deck and a couple of boom boxes and would use these to record and make her own instrumental loops. Mom never figured out how she did it!

Jhavali has been heavily influenced musically by jazz and r&b GREATS such as Angela Bofill, Anita Baker, The Whispers, The Manhattans the late James Ingram, Gregory Hines, Michael Jackson, Michael McDonald, Cameo, Chaka Khan, Dianne Reeves, Lionel Richie, Sheila E., Prince, the late Kashif, , Teena Marie, Mary J. Blige, David Sanborn, Kenny G., Jeff Lober, Paul Hardcastle, Patrice Rushen, FattBurger, Najee, Tom Browne, Alex Bugnon, Bob Baldwin, Bob James, Boney James, Roy Ayers, George Benson, Herbie Hancock, Stanley Clarke, Stevie Wonder, the late Grover Washington, George Howard, George Duke and many more.

Other than school bands, choirs, talent shows and her own personal pursuits outside of school, she did not pursue additional music education for her gifts Jhavali has a gift and brings raw and natural talent. Jhavali continues to work on perfecting her music production in conjunction with singing/songwriting , and composing.

In 2019 Jhavali worked with Award-winning pianist/composer and producer Bob Baldwin on her Debut single, entitled "Ooh-Woh-Ooh Woh," Bob Baldwin produced the track. Her single remained on the top 100 on Smooth Jazz Global. She has since completed over eight projects on her own, with her sixth project being her first self produced Album entitled "Let's Talk About It"! featuring Grammy nominated bassist David Dyson on three tracks.
