With influences like Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, and Sade and a full-bodied, sultry sound, it was evident that Ikea Damone would eloquently master multiple genres. Ikea Damone credits her accomplishments and melodic aptitude to an eclectic and musical background that was inspired by her upbringing in a gifted family. She continues the family legacy that began with her great grandfather, “David Jones,” who was a founding member of the “Rays" and passed the torch to his daughter, "Geraldine Crowell," who was nurtured by Shirly Owens of the Shirelles, then became a singer and was invited to join one of the later versions of the Shirelles, where Geraldine toured for years until she retired, paving the way for the next generation of family entertainers. With a rich musical background, Ikea brings the art of storytelling this to her music and adds a unique flavor that captivates and inspires even the most casual listeners. Her distinctive style is transferred with soul and a rhythmic transition that can be defined as a blossoming new-age voice. Ikea's vision is to share a place of peace, hope, and knowledge of oneself as you transition into who you were destined to be.
