San Francisco-based music phenom Nya Jade announces today the launch of the Nurturing Young Africa (NYA) Foundation, created to support the welfare of African children orphaned by HIV/AIDS and other circumstances.

San Francisco-based singer/songwriter Nya Jade has already drawn acclaim throughout the Bay Area for her unique music, a bold blend of sounds utterly unbound by genre, unified by Nya's passionate, perceptive vocals. As an entrepreneur, Nya is also at the helm of the new "do-it-yourself" movement in music and major national critics are taking notice.

San Francisco-based singer/songwriter Nya Jade will release her debut album, My Denial, June 13th on Katako Records. Jade's lead single and video "One Pill" was featured on VH1.com, VH1 Soul, MTV U, BET's "Ya Heard," and Music Choice, generating buzz on the strength of its songwriting and original subject matter, which addresses our pharmacologically obsessed culture.
