Biography[edit]

Beginnings[edit]

In the early 1990s, Renée Neufville and Jean Norris initially met while both were attending Philadelphia's Temple University and used to sing together at talent shows and other events. Although not a group, they collaborated on each other’s songs. In 1991, the pair met DJ Jazzy Jeff and their first professional recording together was 'Ring My Bell' on the same album that featured DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s 'Summertime'. Former Warner Bros. executive Benny Medina suggested they become a group. For the name, Neufville had the idea of using the French pronunciation of their first names Jean and Renée, which sounded like 'Jahnay'. According to Norris 'we added a 'Z' for a little flavor and we came up with Zhané.'[2] This twist to the name has been used to name many people all around the world and especially in the Black communities.

Breakthrough & Pronounced Jah-Nay[edit]

Given a high-profile spot on the all-star compilation Roll Wit Tha Flava[3] as their first recording opportunity, Zhané came away with one of the hip-hop party anthems of all time, 'Hey, Mr. D.J.' After meeting Naughty by Nature member Kay Gee, Zhané (then credited as Jhané) impressed the producer enough to go right into the studio to record for Roll Wit tha Flava. When 'Hey, Mr. D.J.' was released as a separate single as well, it hit number six on the pop charts and earned the group a contract with Motown in 1994. Their debut album, Pronounced Jah-Nay, produced two further Top 40 hits ('Groove Thang,' 'Sending My Love') and went gold by the end of the year; it achieved platinum status two years later. Zhané kept busy during 1995-1996 with spots on tracks by Busta Rhymes and De La Soul as well as new songs of their own on the NFL Jams and NBA 50th Anniversary compilations and the soundtracks to Higher Learning and A Low Down Dirty Shame — the latter, 'Shame,' became their fourth Top 40 hit.

Saturday Night[edit]

Norris and Neufville released the follow-up album Saturday Night in 1997, co-produced by Kay Gee, Eddie F., and themselves. The release featured the hit single 'Request Line.' A remix with different lyrics and raps by Queen Latifah followed. It peaked just outside the Top 40.

Group Dissolution & Solo Projects[edit]

Since the group's dissolution, Jean Norris married musician Marcus Baylor,[4] perhaps best known as the drummer in jazz fusion ensemble, the Yellowjackets from 2000-2010. Jean Baylor released the solo album Testimony: My Life in June 2011 and a contemporary Christmas album entitled Light Up the World in November of the same year. She later formed a R&B/jazz duo with her husband named The Baylor Project and they released their debut album The Baylor Project (The Journey) in February 2017. In November 2017, the duo received two 60th Grammy Awards-nominations under Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best Traditional R&B Performance.[5]
