Nefertiti is an Egyptian name that means "The Perfect One Has Arrived" Hi my name is Nefertiti Jones but most people simply call me Nef and I am far from perfect no matter what my hippie parents were thinking when they named me. What I am is a singer songwriter who has been doing music for a long time. I love all genres although I tend to gravitate towards pop and rock music. I grew up in Alphabet City in the late 70's before it was hip, trendy or cool, saw some pretty bad things but it made me who I am today. When I am not singing or writing music I run a music program for kids in the foster care and welfare system called Haven Kids Rock, with rock guitarist, Jimi K bones. I also work as a casting director in New York City which has been pretty cool because it has allowed me to work on some awesome projects; not to mention I somehow fell a** backwards into several television spots myself so that's been nice. So that is me in a nut shell, of course if you want to see some of my credits, blah blah you can keep reading or just check out my song, Beauty.
