Season 4 Episode 01 | 401Special Guest: Jae CamiloWebsite/Information: SPOTIFY MUSIC
Episode Description:From girl groups to solo freedom, Jae Camilo opens up about saying no to industry molds, claiming her voice in Bachata, and creating music with intent. From childhood memories of singing at family gatherings to auditioning for Making the Band, Jae walks us through a journey of reinvention and reclaiming space as a woman in a male-dominated genre.We discuss girl groups, group dynamics, the gritty realities of demo deals/music industry, and the cost of chasing longevity in the music industry. Jae shares why she walked away from acting and modeling to pursue music full-time and how her mother became a key connector, helping her work with top-tier producers.We also talk about singles marketing strategy and the unspoken rules of "taste freeze" in Latin culture. Plus, she unpacks the challenges of being told what to sing by men (or the “males” as referred to in the episode) and why her music never bashes men, but only tells the truth. Expect candid convos about side chick discourse, subliminal messages in Bachata, and what it means to really own your voice in an evolving genre.Thanks for checking out Just Words Nobody Cares_________TABLE OF CONTENTS________
