Dajae

Click below for a Dajae sample:

Dajae worked her way into the hearts of clubbers with her rip-roaring vocal on "Brighter Days," the most soulful record Cajmere ever produced. It took forever for her long player to be completed, by which time "Get Up Off Me," "Is It All Over My Face," and "Day by Day" had already blown up. An opportunity to shine on the first release from Subliminal, "Fun," ended up in a financial dispute; her voice was replaced by Jocelyn Brown. She's kinda bounced around since Cajual's collapse, but is still doing her thing for various labels.
