Who is Jefferson da Veiga? An artist who is very passionate about making music and started taking it way more serious when a few big names in the industry told me personally: “You have what it takes to become a superstar. We don’t know exactly what it is you have, but you have that ‘something’…” My Greatest inspirations: I don’t have a top 3 or top 5, cause i don’t want to insult ANY of the greats that have come before me after all the amazing works they have put out as a collective. I truly love and will forever respect the originators and pioneers of the sounds i’ve listened to throughout my lifetime and i will continue to show them my appreciation for as long as i live. When it comes to the way i use my harmonies, it reminds people of the way M.J. used to sing. When i go into my soul and RnB mode, they tend to compare me to Marvin Gaye and sometimes Ne-yo. And my falsettos are heavily inspired by the Neo-Soul singer Maxwell. I really hope to work with him as well one day… Other than that, i tend to use a whole mix and variety of sounds which are all original sounds of ‘Black Culture.’ Whether it be Rock, Soul, RnB, Jazz, HipHop, Blues, Trapsoul, main-stream African, Cape Verdean Zouk or even classic, i love to find the perfect way to blend the styles and keep my originality within them, so people will immediately recognize the artist on the track. After about 12 years of research and development, i have found my own sound and i’m ready to share that with the world.
