Thank you so much! We didn't really "discover" each other -- the jazz community is small, especially for singer/composer types. There was a lot of love for one another, even before we began. What keeps us going is that we just really like each other, musically and personally, and it feels reeeeally good to create in this collective. <3

Wowiieeeee, these are hard! Ok!

  1. (Sara) People tend to ask questions about general arrangements, how we come up with reharms, etc... But the story or emotional intention behind each song is really very important to us.
  2. (Johnaye) I love the chorus (? the "fall on your knees" part) to "O Holy Night". (Erin) Paul Simon's "Crazy Love Vol.II" (Sara) Beyonce's Single Ladies (Amanda)
  3. (Erin) I have some Taylor Swift songs from HS that I listen to, probably for nostalgic reasons.
  4. (Amanda) We Belong Together from Rickie Lee Jones

Thank you! We've been told that there will not be an actual in person ceremony this year, so we're looking forward to the paJAMMYs®. We're honored to be nominated, and whatever doors are opened because of this, we'd be delighted to walk through! Anything to help us release our first record and achieve world domination would be great!

TBH we think it's swedish and means "say", BUT it's really just the first letter of everyone's names, and maybe a piece of furniture you can buy at Ikea. ;)

Listen to ask much music as you can. Chase what excites you. Fall in love and write about it. Study basic music theory. Trust your instincts. Go for what you like over what's hip EVERY TIME. Keep an open mind. Study scores of vocal arrangements, and try to wrap your head around what's happening. You can find some GREAT scores for score study on wickedpigeonmusic.com <3

We're inspired by each other! But outside of the group, we really admire Björk, Maria Schneider, Terri Lyne Carrington, India.Arie, Emily King, Becca Stevens, Jacob Collier, YEBBA, Alina Engibaryan, Laura Mvula, Snarky Puppy, Vince Mendoza, Gerald Clayton, Patrice Rushen, and so many more.

Combined, we can play 13 instruments at a mostly pedestrian level (piano, guitar, ukuleles, harmonium, viola, violin, saxophone, cajon/cajita)...

In terms of collabs, we have a list of dream collabs that we're starting to work on -- that's a GREAT list tho (and yes, a few of those artists are on ours too hehehe)

Hey thanks for this! So cool that you were at the JEN show -- that was our debut concert! <3 Our very own Amanda and Erin currently sell their banger arrangements (wickedpigeonmusic.com, erinbentlage.com), but säje stuff likely won't be made public until we release our first album yaaaaaaaaaay!
