Heyy. You might be here because you’re curious about my music. Or maybe you feel somewhat obliged to look at this because you’re one of my close friends or family members. You’re wondering what the hell this is and why I’ve asked you to sign up for yet another newsletter…or is this…something else? Below are some answers to most, if not all, of your pressing thoughts.

So who’s jami8 and what are you doing?
jami8 is my identity as an artist - music producer, creative technologist, graphic designer, etc. It was created out of my desire to have an androgynous name and overall shed my old binary presentation formerly associated with my creative work. 8 represents ouroboros, a concept of rebirth and continuous growth depicted as a snake eating its own tail.
I’m releasing a multimedia album on August 4th called unconscious.bias and would love for you to listen and experience the visual components. All executive produced and created by yours truly (with some audio engineering help and harsh critique from my friends).
Ok cool, so what is this?
Out of a desire to try out some new digital marketing strategies, I decided to experiment with a newsletter format. Substack personalizes the typical email newsletter experience and allows you to comment and develop community with readers (i.e. you!). So please subscribe and engage :)
You’ll receive periodic emails from me about the music and thoughts related to the album. I may continue this or this may end shortly after August 4th. I’m not sure yet but happy to have you for however long you wish to hear from me.
How can I help?
You can subscribe here and share with your network or others who may be interested in art created by a black lesbian woman in her late 20s. I’m looking for publications to share this work with (for features and such), so if you know of any, please reach out and let me know of any contacts you may have!
I’m already overwhelmed by content. Why are you giving me more?
I hear you. I’m overwhelmed too. But hopefully, this is fun stuff that you actually care about. I already know you have great taste, so this will be a great experience. You’ll be getting top quality beats from a local artist, some cool visuals, musings and thoughtful discussion about life and whatever else I decide to send. All within this safe Substack bubble. What more can you ask for?
So, are you ready?
