Biography

Enjae is a female solo artist who wrote, arranged and produced her debut album with a handful of guest musicians. Enjae’s self titled CD is perhaps best described by critic John Book of Music for America as “Addictive music for those who have had it missing in their lives”.

Down and dirty, gritty and smoky, yet ethereal, the sometimes-angelic Enjae gets under your skin like only a crafty torch vocalist can. This ultra-groovy ‘lounge-hop’ with tasty sonic flavoring and a terrific low-end bump can take you from jazz to hip-hop influenced vibes then back to a 60’s era spy movie themed groove to delicate contemporary ballad. Some have categorized Enjae as ‘trip-hop at it’s finest’, yet others have referred to it as a style that is ‘all her own’. We prefer to let you decide.

In a digital dependent world, Natalie Barry aka Enjae chose an unconventional route and stuck to ‘golden era’ production styles to develop her debut self-titled ‘Enjae’ CD. It becomes apparent early on to the listener that this CD is a collection of music with no ‘filler’ songs. The songs paint an individual story, each with depth and meaning all their own. While each song manages to have an almost completely different sound from the last, together they take you on what one critic refers to as ‘a voyeuristic journey through a woman’s pleasures and frustrations’. Natalie manages to paint this story with rich dramatic colors while still maintaining true to her minimalistic ideals.

Natalie Barry began Enjae in 1999 when she auditioned over forty musicians in search of the ‘perfect sound’. She discovered the classic soulful, gritty, raw flavor she was looking for in ‘beat maker’ Elonzo Parker.
