Born in the Bronx, Jayms Madison spent her formative years with her grandparents in Jamaica where her love of music began. While most accredit previous recording stars as their early musical influence, you almost can’t be too surprised that Jayms’ musical beginnings are as untraditional as her namesake. "In Jamaica I didn’t really listen to a lot of [mainstream] music, but I did have some tapes my grandmother sent me from America." “Disney Princesses” she reveals, “Snow White, Cinderella, those are the first voices I heard that made me want to sing”. Jayms soon started writing poetry to assist in her childhood amusements; she began pairing the soliloquies with melodies, and ended with composed songs which she would sing for any and every ear available. As she grew older, Sleeping Beauty and Princess Ariel were joined by the likes of Brandy, Destiny’s Child & Prince to round off her revered list of respecters.
