Janine "Jah9" Cunningham

Old school blues improvisation meets hard hitting lyrical prowess in a rich imaginative blend of vocal clarity and complexity. Janine brings her refreshing mix of contemporary and conscious poetry to the stage and delivers a mature, sophisticated style with a unique and captivating energy all of her own. Her musical influences range from Billie Holiday and Nina Simone to Augustus Pablo and Sizzla Kalonji. 

As a singer/songwriter/activist, Janine touches on issues ranging from social injustice, violence, politics and gender to intimate matters of the heart, mind and spirit. Janine a.k.a. ‘Jah9’ has emerged from the underground poetry/live music scene relatively unknown and has earned the hearts and respect of her peers and audiences with each encounter since. 

Over the past 5 years she has been consistently and impressively making her mark on the Jamaican musical landscape, inspiring audiences and musicians alike through her songs and the live productions she has conceptualized and staged. She is now poised for heavy rotation due to her signature sound and collaborations with ace producers including Donovan Bennett of Corleon Records, Sheldon Bernard and Beres Hammond of Harmony House Music, and on her highly anticipated debut album project with Rory "Stonelove" Gilligan. The album is slated for release on February 26, 2013 but Jah9 is already in demand as a songwriter and creative director of repute. 

'Jazz on Dub’ is the sound she has created - a mix of her two favourite music forms, while infusing all expressions of the arts into her live performances. She intends to take her word sounds to the world, entertaining and inspiring all along the way. This young woman is full to the brim and pouring her heart out.

Dee has a passion for the ministry of music and a heart to follow God and she is the original writer of her songs. She began organizing musical youth groups at twelve years old and sung songs to glorify God from city to city traveling to support the Cooper Ministries.  While attending her university, she performed for the Spring Extravaganzas to get the feel of the stage.  For five years, she sung with The Durden Singers. To her credit is the song, "We Give the Glory" on their CD entitled "God Sent Me An Angel".

Dee's first single was released in 2003 entitled "The Lord is My Shepherd". BMG Music Publishing signed an agreement with her for the Braxton Brothers music composition for the song.  She completed her full CD and entitled it "The Lord is My Shepherd LIVE". It was recorded at the Evangelist Temple Church in Houston, Texas by The Good Shepherd Production.  For this CD,  Dee has taken her gospel roots and produced a contemporary style of music, an infusion of R&B, jazz and soul influences. She has a unique perspective on what all the different facets of her congregation would enjoy listening to, from the traditional and conservative to the young and contemporary. Durden is able to spread the word through her unique style and breathe new life into gospel music.

Durden sticks with tradition on "The Lord is My Shepherd". She takes a well-known and conventional hymn and takes a new approach by using a contemporary arrangement. Because of the song's beauty and message, it is one of Durden's most beloved tracks; not to mention it is the song that originally inspired her album. She possesses an emotional and persuasive vocal, while being supported by an electric keyboard and smooth sax that is reminiscent of 90's light R&B. The song is upbeat and light, with Durden's expressive quality keeping it together. On "Get Over It" Durden shows more of a soulful style, creating a modern baseline to support her compassion and driving lyrics. She expresses the need to literally "get over it" and move on with life after facing difficult obstacles. Durden's voice is like a support mechanism, allowing the listener to realize that throughout life's challenges, there are great things on the other side - one must just believe. She sings with heavy regard for what her listeners need and want to hear creating a vehicle for the underlying message of life, love and happiness.

Dee is featured on a NEW CD Compilation with Florida's 2BlessedMusic!  She was also judged and endorsed by the prestigious organization, The Christian Music Presenters of Nashville, Tennessee ( christianmusicpresenters ).  She performs in all areas of ministries, spiritual functions and special occasions with a Bachelor's Degree in Business from Sam Houston State where she organized and hosted several workshops, seminars and conferences at the Criminal Justice Center.  To enhance her work in the ministry, she also holds ministerial license with a degree in Church and Biblical studies.  Her music is sung with sincerity, understanding and experience.  She believes in being real to God, herself, and the people of God.

Corey Koehler (pronounced KAY-ler) is a musician with an unending supply of goals for his music career and the ambition to follow through. The title of his first CD, Never Too Late, reflects Koehler’s own path to singing and songwriting. Around the age of 30, Koehler finally decided he wanted more than he could wean from a nine-to-five job. He picked up his guitar, which he hadn’t touched in years, and discovered not all was lost. Something about the music gave Koehler the fulfillment he was searching for.
Accidents Happen

His singing ability was an accidental discovery. Though he always enjoyed belting out songs along with the radio, it was his friends who encouraged this talent. Koehler would grab his guitar while sitting around a campfire to entertain an audience of friends. Compliments on his vocals became so frequent he started to believe maybe he possessed genuine talent.
Exploration

Koehler tried a succession of get-rich-quick schemes dreaming one would position him, financially, where he could devote the majority of his time to music. In retrospect, Koehler says that was the wrong decision. He now believes expending his energy on his musical abilities provides the greatest benefit and recommends the same to anyone with a talent of their own. He feels strongly that once a person begins exploring their talent, they find a more meaningful existence and are better able to positively influence the people around them.

Where The Music Comes From?

Koehler’s insight is present in the seven Americana originals in Never Too Late. Lyrically, his subject matter relates to anyone who finds themselves weary of monotony in the daily grind, inadequate in choosing words to express compassion over loss, and an active participant (eventually, anyway) in the failure of a relationship. Musically, he makes you want to raise a beer and toast yourself for making it this far.
Many Influences

Koehler is not committing himself solely to Americana. His influences stem from multiple genres, many of which he would like to try in the future. He considers himself a bit of a “music goat.” He has never been able to decide upon one genre and stick with it, so he decided it was unnecessary. Koehler arrived at the term “music goat,” he says, because a goat will eat anything. In the same fashion, Koehler will absorb all types of music without a preference for any one in particular. He also loves a hearty breakfast.
