The energy was absolute fire when Atlanta R&B singer-songwriter JaQuandice stopped by for an exclusive sit-down on The Ash Said It Show. As a professional choreographer and creative director, she brought a 360-degree perspective on what it takes to thrive as an independent artist in 2026. We got deep into the weeds on her creative process, the influence of Atlanta’s Trap-Soul culture, and the raw discipline required to build a lasting musical legacy.

We kicked things off talking about that unmistakable Atlanta music scene energy. She credits the city’s unique DNA for the specific sound of her new single, "How To Love." To her, Atlanta music has to have a certain rhythmic bounce to survive the streets but enough soul to actually mean something. It’s that perfect marriage of grit and velvet that she’s completely mastered in her latest release.

One of the most fascinating reveals was how her brain works as a professional choreographer while she’s songwriting. She actually visualizes the dance moves and the "pocket" of the movement while the lyrics are still coming together. If she can’t feel the dance in the words, the song isn't finished. She’s essentially building an entire visual world before the track even hits the mixing board.

She also dropped some serious gems about the stage discipline she gained from performing Beyoncé and Janet Jackson tributes. It wasn’t just about nailing the iconic steps; it was about the stamina, the eye contact, and the elite mindset of a headliner. She’s now applying that high-level precision to her own live shows, ensuring every hand placement and vocal run is intentional.

When we got into the heart of "How To Love," she didn't hold back on the message behind the music. In a world dominated by messy "situationships" and modern romance hurdles, her goal is to inspire listeners to stop negotiating their standards. It’s an anthem for anyone ready to trade "it’s complicated" for real substance. Interestingly, she mentioned that being that vulnerable in her songwriting was the most challenging part of the project—even more than the choreography or the vocal production.

Looking ahead five years, the goal isn't just a viral moment; it's a legacy. She wants the JaQuandice brand to be synonymous with timeless storytelling and independent artist power. She isn’t just making hits; she’s creating an inheritance for the next generation of R&B.

JaQuandice is a premier Atlanta-based R&B singer-songwriter, choreographer, and creative director redefining the landscape of modern soul. Known for her "cinematic storytelling," she seamlessly blends the nostalgic essence of 90s R&B with a contemporary Gen Z perspective. Since her debut in 2017, JaQuandice has emerged as a powerhouse in the independent music scene, gaining global traction with hits like "Tell Me" and "How To Love."

Her musical foundation was built on discipline and authentic craft long before the era of viral algorithms. Beginning her journey in 2010 during high school, she spent years developing a "pressure-tested" artistry in the competitive Atlanta music scene.

After sharpening her voice with acclaimed covers of artists like 6lack and 50 Cent, she released her breakout single "Top Back" in 2017. By 2026, her catalog has reached significant milestones, with her single "How To Love" entering heavy rotation on iHeartRadio’s 99.7 DA HEAT MIAMI, broadcasting her signature "female empowerment" sound to international audiences.

Currently, JaQuandice is leading the R&B X Supreme mix show on 99.7 DA HEAT MIAMI, further solidifying her role as a tastemaker in the genre. Her 2026 evolution—marked by a sharper pen and a deeper stage presence—signals an arrival rather than a comeback. She continues to advocate for independent artist ownership and the preservation of soulful, message-driven music.
