Hey! Just a small update. I’ve added a new video of QT Jazz to the video page. The video is of her and a friend practicing for an audition for The Maury Show! They’re dancing to Ciara’s Like a Boy and another song I’m not sure of but the routine is very good. Let’s hope that she makes it on the show!

Hey Everyone! I have some Jamia Simone Nash updates for you! I’ve just added a recent article about her to the site which you can view on the articles panel. It talks a lot about her career and her role in ‘August Rush;’ you also learn a bit more about Jamia and the things she love! I’ve added 4 new photoshoot pictures of her to the gallery as well. They were all attached to the article. It looks like she had a lot of fun doing that shoot. There’s an ‘August Rush Featurette’ with her on YouTube, you can view that HERE. Also, if you haven’t heard the full version of her song ‘Raise It Up’ from the ‘August Rush’ soundtrack, you can hear that HERE! It’s a really uplifting gospel song, and Jamia just sounds amazing in it! The soundtrack is on sale now; you can also buy the song on iTunes.
