Hey Everyone! Check the gallery for two new pictures of Jamia on the Red Carpet last night. She looked super cute in a pink Ella Zahlan couture dress! Her little sister Olivia is with her in one of the pictures, she looked really cute too, she looks just like Jamia to me. *Smile* Unfortunately I couldn't find many pictures, but I will keep searching... if any luck I'll add them later.

Also, I have noticed that there's quite a few fake Jamia profiles on MySpace. Jamia does not have a MySpace page, so please do not believe those posers! You don't know who's really behind that page so be cautious! As for those responsible for the pages, I would really appreciate it if you stopped using images from this website for that purpose. Thank You!

'RAISE IT UP' OSCAR NOMINATION + POSSIBLE PERFORMANCE!
January 28 2008 | Filed Under: News | comment? [0]
We'd like to give a HUGE congratulations to our girl Jamia as her song 'Raise It Up,' from the August Rush soundtrack, has been nominated for an OSCAR! The song is nominated in the Best Original Song category! It will compete with three songs from the movie "Enchanted" — "Happy Working Song," "So Close" and "That's How You Know" — and "Falling Slowly" from the movie "Once." Although Jamia is the lead singer on the song, she's not technically nominated, as the nomination goes to the song's writers. But if the show goes on as planned Jamia and Impact Repertory Theatre will be performing the song LIVE at the 80th Annual Academy Awards Ceremony on February 24, 2008! Let's pray that it happens! CONGRATS JAMIA! WE'RE SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

I've also added two short articles about her being nominated. One says that she was in school when they announced the nominees and her father called up to have them announce it over the intercom. How cool is that?!

'RAISE IT UP' TRACK ADDED & C-BOX WILL BE BACK SOON!
December 28 2007 | Filed Under: Updates | comment? [0]
Hey Everyone! I have a small update today. First, we were able to get the 'Raise It Up' track on the music player! You can now listen to the song at the top of the site. If you didn't know, 'Raise It Up' is one of the 59 songs being considered in the Original Song category for the 80th Academy Awards®! Let's hope that it's nominated.

Also, I know the C-Box isn't working right now and that it's saying that it's expired. That is because last month I upgraded to test out their premium box and this month, I don't want to pay for it anymore; it wasn't all that great. Haha. I am trying to see if it can be fixed (downgraded back to basic), if not, I will just make an all new C-Box. Please be patient with us, something should be done soon.

* Thanks to Terrell for sending the song!

SMALL ARTICLE ON JAMIA
November 23 2007 | Filed Under: Updates | comment? [0]
Hi, I'm Crystal and I'll be helping Tareyah out here at JNF! Anyway, I found this little article on Jamia and her current film August Rush. The article is from The National Ledger. It's short and sweet and really shows that Jamia's talents are definitely being recognized! The article can be read below. Be sure to go out and support Jamia by going to see the movie!

A STAR IS BORN: "August Rush" music supervisor Anastasia Brown predicts that with the film's opening this week, a star will be born. "We found this little girl named Jamia Simone Nash, who sings like an angel," says Brown, who's also a judge on "Nashville Star." "After this movie comes out, her life is forever going to be changed."

In the film, child music prodigy August Rush (Freddie Highmore) is drawn to the music he hears in a church in Harlem. "We had to find a choir, so we scoured New York for a really authentic, inspirational and not famous choir, and we found Impact, a choir in Harlem that gives back to the community and counsels people through music. We created the song 'Raise It Up' with two of the songwriters from the choir, and it's one of the most amazing songs in the film. It's gospel but not preachy, and Jamia is the lead. She's so stunning and beautiful and soulful, and her natural ability in front of the camera is rare."

A visitor of this site attended the premiere and she had this to say about Jamia... "I went to the NYC August Rush premiere last night and Jamia stole the movie. She came on during the last half and stole every scene. The audience howled during her scene with Freddie at the piano. Jamia fans will not be disappointed, she does a great job. . ."

I thought that was sweet! :) Thanks for sharing Amy. She also had more to say about Jamia, you can read her comment in the update below this one.

Hey Jamia Fans! I am so excited to have a new update for you guys! Today, we have an old video interview and performance of Jamia on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno from Christmas 2002! Jamia was so little and cute in the clip! She talked about what she asked Santa for that year, among other things. She performed Silent Night and she sounded great (as always). It was funny watching the band try and keep up with her though. You can see the interview HERE and performance HERE. Both can be found on the video page as well. Enjoy the videos guys! Video captures can be found in the gallery.



I owe a special thanks to Christoph who just discovered this website and was kind enough to upload this performance especially for us! Thank you once again for your generosity, Chris!!! He also uploaded the video to YouTube, but it's just the performance, not the interview.

I will try to add more things for you all to use to support Jamia soon. I just don't know when. You can view some below, for the others click HERE.



I also received many KEEPERS over the time the site was on hiatus. I will go through all of them and add them soon!

NEW LAYOUT + SKINS!
June 27 2007 | Filed Under: Updates | comment? [6]
Hey Jamia Fans! I bet you can't believe your eyes, can you? It has been months since I last changed the layout around here. I'm sorry for sticking you with the same layout for so long, but I didn't have time to change it until now. Well, this lovely layout was made by the talented Anna so many thanks to her.

I've also set the site for skinning, which means visitors can choose which layout they want to see when they visit the site. I added the latest two layouts we had to the skins. I will hopefully be able to make newer layouts soon but no promises.

Well, that's all for now. I will TRY to keep the site updated a bit more now but don't expect updates everyday because it's not happening. tongue

Peace Xx

'AUGUST RUSH' TRAILER NOW ONLINE!
June 16 2007 | Filed Under: News | comment? [4]
Hey Everyone! FINALLY, the trailer for 'August Rush' is online. You can click HERE to view it (high speed connection is recommended). Not only does Jamia appear a bit in the trailer, but her beautiful singing voice can be heard in it as well. Who knows? Maybe she even recorded some songs for the soundtrack. Lol The movie looks really good too.

EDIT: I've added a few trailer captures to the gallery.

'AUGUST RUSH' SNEAK PEEK ARTICLE
June 13 2007 | Filed Under: News | comment? [2]
The Trailer for 'August Rush' should be online sometime within the next week or two. COMINGSOON.NET got a sneak peek of the film and wrote up an article about it that can be found HERE. Here's what they had to say about Jamia.

"And watch out for scene-stealing newcomer Jamia Simone Nash, whose powerful pipes and spunky church choir girl turned August's unlikely music tutor had everyone at the screening talking."

This just makes me even more excited to see the movie! I'll post the trailer as soon as I find it.

"AUGUST RUSH" RELEASE DATE!
June 12 2007 | Filed Under: News | comment? [0]
Hey Everyone. Do you all remember the movie that Jamia worked on last year entitled, 'August Rush'? For months we wondered when we would get to see the movie and see Jamia on the BIG-SCREEN for the first time. Well, we no longer have to wonder as there is now a release date set for the movie. It's set to be in theaters on October 19th 2007. I know, it seems so far away but I'm sure those few month will fly by quickly. I'm excited and I can't wait to finally see more Jamia.

If you didn't already know, Jamia plays the role of Hope in the movie. It's a film about a charismatic young Irish guitarist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) who have a chance encounter one magical night above New York's Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, August Rush, orphaned by circumstance. Now performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams), August (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth.

Hope is a little girl from a Harlem mission who encounters August Rush.

So, be on the look out. If I happen to find the trailer or any promotional stills with Jamia, expect them to be posted.

On a side note, this site will have a complete turn around sometime during this summer so look forward to it.

Peace Xx

PLEASE STOP POSING AS JAMIA!!!
May 04 2007 | Filed Under: Updates | comment? [3]
Hey Everyone! I just had to address this issue. Lately people have been posting on the tagboard pretending to be Jamia and it's really annoying. Please stop pretending to be her. She doesn't like it and it's not right to make others believe that they are talking to the real Jamia when they aren't. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone was pretending to be you so why do it to others? Be yourself! I'll never understand posers...?

Also, the real Jamia Simone Nash does post on the tagboard occasionally but I know when it's her so don't even waste your time. All posers will be banned.

Now, as for the site. I will hopefully take it off hiatus within the next month with some new changes and I'll try my best to keep it updated more frequently. Just please give me some time. I've been busy with my other sites, school and just life in general.

Hey Everyone! I'm sorry that I haven't updated this site in so long but there's nothing new to add. The site is currently on an open hiatus until I have time to revamp it. This means you will still be able to view everything we have but we will not add anything until something turns up or until I find time. Please don't ask us why we are not updating or adding certain videos... we will do it when we can! Hopefully it'll be sooner than later.

Thanks to all who applied, you still have a chance!

FAKE MYSPACE PAGES!
October 22 2006 | Filed Under: News | comment? [1]
Hey Everybody, I just decided to post this message for everybody with MySpace. Jamia does not have MySpace Page! There are a couple of people on there claiming to be Jamia. The URLs are myspace.com/jamianash and myspace.com/jamianashmusic!! These people have done this before and Jamia's parents got them removed. These people don't even have correct information about Jamia posted on their pages. So if you added these people thinking they were Jamia, you should delete them as friends!!
