Jaime French, a true original has forged her own road. For the past decade, the dynamic comedian/YouTuber has left an indelible mark on the digital landscape with her unique blend of humor, wit, intellect and creativity and now she's set to conquer another horizon with the release of her debut EP, The Ripple Effect (March 24) with its palpitating lead single, "The Hunter" entering the digital world.
Born in St. Louis, French’s passion for creation ignited at a young age when she received a video camera for her 12th birthday. From that moment, she embarked on a journey of storytelling and self-expression through a lens.
Initially focusing on makeup and beauty tutorials, she soon discovered her comedic talents and transitioned to creating content that showcased her irreverent humor, searing commentary and fresh inventive editing, a purely modern way of storytelling.
The Ripple Effect's redemptive arc shines though on "Carry Me," a song about finding support and strength in learning to heal as everyone, from time to time, needs to be carried, if only until they can get back on their own feet. The song is inspired by the love and support of her husband Nick over the last 15 years. Carry Me echoes the poem, "Footprints," which, in essence, is about someone getting to heaven and asking God, "Why was there only one set of footprints, where were you when I needed you most?" "I was with you all along, because I was carrying you," is the spiritual lesson learned, one that speaks to love, be it from religion, spiritual affirmations, faith or human connection.
With that ethos, French wants to cast a ripple effect of footprints to encourage and inspire those that need it most, to build a global community, virtually, but also in person. To this path, she's on the road this year to continue her successful run of sold out shows, bringing comedy, music, levity and a sense of serenity from consumption as a commodity.
