Empowerment Series: Singer, Songwriter, Urban Bachata Recording Artist, Jae Camilo Shares her Music with AW
I have never met anyone who hasn’t been touched by music in some way, shape, or form. Whatever emotions you are experiencing in this moment of your, you can lean on music to make you feel better.
I remember the first time I listened to Bachata, a 1994 song called “Medicina de Amor” by the artist Raulin Rodriguez. The song was about a man who was sickly in love, and his only cure was the love of his woman. When the song was released, I wasn’t sure how to feel about it, but the song was a big hit, particularly in the Dominican community. Today, the Bachata genre is bigger than ever, thanks to up-and-coming musicians bringing global recognition to the music. For millions of Latinos everywhere, it is one of the main genres they turn to for comfort. International artists like Romeo Santos, Aventura, Antony Santos, Prince Royce, Frank Reyes, Luis Vargas, Juan Luis Guerra, and Judy Santos have helped put the music on the map.
Jae Camilo is making a mark in the space with songs like La Cartera and No Soy Tu Juguete. The Urban Bachata Recording Artist from Brooklyn, NY, has performed the national anthem in front of thousands at the prestigious Madison Square Garden and on stages in the US and abroad. She says she creates music to connect with people and wants her lyrics to resonate with fans. The Underground Awards describe her as “One of the most self-driven artists on the rise.” Her most recent single, Ya No Puedo Mas, will hit a high note with fans and gain new ones. The Dominican Bachatera is fierce, talented, and unafraid to push the boundaries.
In EPS118, AW sits in the studio with the artist to discuss the genre, growing up in a Dominican home listening to the classics, and the business of music from a woman’s perspective. She gives us an insider’s view into a space where men still dominate, her favorite stories, and it’s all accompanied by her beautiful energy. We had a blast!
