When you think of Ja'a, think deep, "funkafied" harmonies. These six gentlemen give you the power and the blend of soulful music that settles into the heart. Their vocal sounds give a smooth and sophisticated flow to all the songs that they touch. These brothers of harmony have continued to move beyond the boundaries of contemporary sound displaying their musical influences from jazz, R&B, contemporary a cappella, funk, pop, and gospel. The members of Jaša share the vision of transcending the conventional barriers in music and are prepared for "Just About Anything," the operative theme which characterizes their music, attitudes, personalities, and the essence of Jaša. Since their origin at UCLA back in 1995, Jaša has been acclaimed for their complex harmonies, a knack for vocal instrumentation, and a flair for appealing original arrangements. Their sophisticated sound is a testament to the heart and soul that they invest in their music and performances. Showcasing their versatile style, this sextet has performed from Vegas to LA, San Diego to the Bay and Asia soon on the way. Their spirit and belief in their dream has led to the release of their second CD "Outside the Lines". This group of friends looks forward to sharing their gifts with all who will listen.

The six-member Ja'a formed at UCLA in 1995. Their sound is contemporary,
but clearly influenced by gospel and jazz, along the lines of Take 6, though
urbanized and "street." In their words, deep "funkdafied" harmonies are their
trademark, and their mission, to join people together. Some of the compositions
are original, some covers, such as "Ja'Jackson," (a Michael Jackson medley),
"In My Life" and "I Feel For You." Significant vocal percussion and vocal
instrumentation propels the groove and fills out the arrangements, such as
"Movin' On," which has a slinky dance groove. This CD is one step on the way
for a group with so much potential.
