Biography

Ramona Gonzalez began as Nite Jewel in 2008 as the result of her juggling music with undergraduate studies. 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 hardship" were her inspiration for those recordings.

Soon after starting her MySpace music page, her song, "Suburbia" was selected to be in Ben Stiller’s movie 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 is set to release her single, "She's Always Watching You". On March 6, 2012, Nite Jewel is slated to release her second album, "One Second of Love".
