North Atlanta senior Xiamara Jennings graces the hallways of our 11-story building with a voice that is truly fit for the stage. Since Jennings was a baby humming lullabies, her fascination of the musical art has grown tremendously into a full-time obsession. Two years ago, she was drafted into a very popular Atlanta singing group that goes by the name of WeRCharm.

Jennings’ singing videos on YouTube and many Instagram posts have led to her being drafted into the Atlanta based singing group WeRCharm. Another member of the group contacted her over Instagram looking to collaborate after seeing the high level of talent she possessed. “I was very confident in my singing, of course, although I did not expect to be found so quickly,” Jennings said.

She and the four other members of Charm have performed all across Atlanta including the famous East Atlanta venue The Department Store. They have also started make a big impact across the teen demographic.

Working with YouTube names such as Mattibaybee, Charm has significantly grown in popularity throughout the past year. “My favorite person to work with, while not actually on the song would be my group of producers over at Gamut Music,” Jennings said.

Without Gamut, Charm may not have been the smash hit it is today. The producers at Gamut have provided a large piece of the logistics behind the group’s sound.

Jennings said that if she were to receive a $2-million signing deal she would turn it down. “I don’t make music for the money,” she said. “I don’t want to be restricted on what I can and cannot do. I want people to see the realest version of me possible.”

Could a Charm-based reality television show be in the works? “Personally I would not want a reality show,” Jennings said. “I want people to see the real me through YouTube webisodes and real life interactions. For me, it’s way more than what our publisher thinks would please the demographic.”

In 2016, Charm hopes to release a possible album, along with music videos and webisodes that go deep within the life of members of the group. While waiting around for their first album, fans are encouraged to check out Charm’s newest single “Pon De Replay” at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmKs-GDKQxI
