Singer Jae Franklin sits down with When We Speak TV for a segment of What Do YOU Speak?
During the segment, Jae shares her thoughts on love, self love, and the death of her father.

Dynamic songstress Jae Franklin is a citizen of the world. Her curiosity about the interconnectedness of people has led her to perform in over 20 countries from Ethiopia to Dubai. No stranger to pop stardom, Jae toured as a background vocalist for Grammy Award winner Melanie Fiona and eventually began performing at a host of reputable venues across the world as a solo artist. Franklin sure knows her stuff and now its time for her to get in the minds of the masses.
​
Jae was a 80s baby. She grew up in one of the most dynamic eras of music when R&B, house, electro, and hip hop increased in popularity.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Jae’s father exposed her to the blues - the likes of B.B. King and Bobby “Blue” Bland, balanced out with greats like Shirley Caesar and Michael Jackson.
Jae also shared her mother’s love of contemporary pop and soul music, admiring the music of Whitney Houston, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, and Michael Bolton. Today, Jae is inspired by legends like Angelique Kidjo, Jamiroquai, Stevie Wonder, and Sade. It’s no wonder her music sounds the way it does.

Since 2010, Jae has given the world a taste of what’s next. Her voice can be heard on countless collaborations across the web. Her cover of Jamiroquai’s “Morning Glory” was praised by the British band and featured on their official Facebook page. Her collaborations and solo projects have been applauded by esteemed websites like VIBE, MOOVMNT, Sampleface, and Groovement. Her new single ‘Music & Love,’ premiered on reputable websites like Indie Shuffle and URB.
Franklin is well on her way to cementing herself among the soul and pop greats that have influenced her. Her new self-titled EP, “JAE FRANKLIN,” was released on Dec 8, 2017 and features production by Vicente Espi. “JAE FRANKLIN EP” features the lead singles, ‘Skeleton’ and ‘Fools Lane,’ Jae Franklin is set for an impressive year

Today marks the day the long-held dream of NMAAM begins to become a reality, and now we can begin to build what will be a jewel in the crown for Music City. The work starts today.”

incredible attraction and will tell the important story of African American music in our city and
beyond. This is the culmination of years of organization, hard work and planning from city and
business leaders alike. I’m honored to have played a role in helping make this a reality for our
city, and I can’t wait for all Nashvillians to experience it.”

KEYSHIA COLE: MY NEW LIFE
ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH AT 10PM ET/PT

​After a four year hiatus, Keyshia Cole makes a highly anticipated return to BET, to share her new life. BET’s produced four highly watched docu-series following Cole’s life over the years, including “Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is,” “Keyshia & Daniel: Family First,” “Keyshia Cole: All In,” and most recently the spin-off show following the lives of her mother and sister “ Frankie & Neffe.”
 
In this two hour special, Keyshia Cole navigates a whole new life with boyfriend Niko Khale as she juggles pregnancy, past relationships and her music career.

​Keyshia Cole is a Grammy-nominated singer/song-writer who garnered a massive amount of success in the early 2000s. This Oakland, California native sang her way into the hearts of millions with her unapologetic, raw, and real verses about love and heartbreak. When fans got their first glimpse of Keyshia Cole in “The Way it Is”, she was a fiery artist on the rise, who was struggling under the weight of her past, while trying to fulfill her dreams. After years of highs and a number of personal lows, Keyshia is at the point in her life where she HAS to take control. With a new baby, a new relationship, and new career changes on the horizon, Keyshia is more determined than ever to figure out what happiness looks like for her in 2019.
 
“Keyshia Cole: My New Life” is produced by BET Networks, Dubose Entertainment and Hot Snakes Media. James Dubose (WAGS Atlanta, Being Bobby Brown, Frankie & Neffe) and Eric Evangelista (Breaking Amish) serve as executive producers.
 
Fans who wish to see more of Keyshia, can catch her other series from BET “Keyshia Cole All In “ season one and Frankie & Neffe seasons one and two on BET’s streaming service BET +.
