Soul music isn't just music to Neo-Soul Café creator and host Frances Jaye.
It's an art form, a way of life, and an unconsidered solution to life's dilemmas.
Jaye has been working in the R&B radio circuit, based in Dallas, for
years. She started
as
a novice dee jay at Dallas' 89.3 AM, the city's only station with community
and environmentally-conscious programming. Since, she's worked for KRNB
105.7/K-104 FM, a joint station, as the emcee for nostalgic R&B shows,
sometimes hosting two shows at once. For a time, she simultaneously worked
for the prestigious ABC Radio Network, broadcasting an R&B show into
70 markets. It was there that she was inspired with idea of a show like Neo-Soul
Café.
According to Jaye, she was readily able to identify a market of mature, soul fans that were not being accommodated on the air in most major cities. Hence the Neo-Soul Café, a weekly program found on the Internet, and in selected markets, strictly for the soul music aficionados. The concept for the show came
after Jaye honed in on the responses from record labels when she approached them about interviewing their artists on live radio. "I got so much positive response from record labels when I interviewed their artists. They are looking for a place for their artists to be showcased", she says. "It showed me that there is an opportunity to expose the soul art form and open it up to the world, through the Internet".
Jaye has intimately interviewed the likes of Floetry, Caron Wheeler, Anthony Hamilton, Eric Benet, KEM and Kindred, among others. She incorporates celebrity musician interviews into a conglomeration of both popular and underground Soul music. Her sensitivity and instinct to what true music purists crave has directed Neo-Soul Café.
