Nite Jewel is the alias of Ramona Gonzalez, singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, California. Ramona Gonzalez began as Nite Jewel in 2008 as the result of her juggling music with undergraduate studies. She cites artists such as Janet Jackson as her musical inspirations. With assistance from her husband, Cole M. Greif-Neill, she created songs on a portable eight-track cassette recorder. She stated that moments of ecstasy, emotion, and hardshipwere her inspiration for those recordings. Gonzalez is the niece of the English soccer commentator Clive Tyldesley, affectionately parodying his commentary style on the song Clive. Soon after starting her MySpace music page, her song, Suburbia was selected to be in Noah Baumbachs film Greenberg. Within a year she was touring European festivals. Her music draws comparison to Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. Nite Jewel describes herself more as liquid cool citing English electronic music duo Autechre as a major musical influence. Ramona Gonzalez has a bachelor degree in philosophy from Occidental College. She is also a multimedia artist and has exhibited a number of video and sound installation pieces in the L.A area, one of which was entitled The Question Concerning Technology. December 6, 2011, Nite Jewel released her single, Shes Always Watching You. On March 6, 2012, Ramona released her second album (and debut release for SC), One Second of Love. Secretly Canadian will reissue Nite Jewels first album, Good Evening, in the fall of 2012. Enjoy the single Am I real :)
