Profile Information

Name:: BlackBeri

Bio:: - A new voice emerges as an ‘Old Soul’ in the evolving world of today’s jazz and cross-genre music. Waberi takes center stage with her transcendent voice and intimate songcraft as the promise of a continued grand jazz music legacy. Waberi’s voice resonates in an alter-reality... beautiful; a haunted timbre; that has many likening her to Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln or early Cassandra Wilson. But the comparison is not solely in the sound of her voice, but the legacy she embodies. Born in Washington D.C., and raised in the last great jazz enclave in Los Angeles, Leimert Park, Waberi has studied and/or played with Pharoah Sanders, Azar Lawrence, Big Black, Nate Morgan, and Bennie Maupin among some; The Great Voice of UGMAA (Union of God's Musicians and Artists' Ascension) with world-renown avant-garde pianist Horace Tapscott - and The GREAT Billy Higgins.

IG Culture & Build An Ark from Beyondjazz on Vimeo.
Calling on the lessons from growing up with a deep love for Black music, consistent study and application of music and its mechanics, and a deep understanding of Ancestral legacy and obligation, Waberi is dedicated to upholding a standard of artistry that serves to UPLIFT, ENLIGHTEN and most of all EVOLVE Black music. "To help do for contemporary Black Music what Jazz did for America."

"...you strive on two levels - you sing of war and warfare and you are at war... with elements unseen and unheard - your only measure is the pleasure you take in witnessing with your voice your heart and your art. Simple."
-Jimmy Rage
