Joy Enriquez was singing before she could read. At her kindergarten graduation, she entertained the audience with a solo performance. As a teenager at Orange County Performing Arts High School in California, she decided that a career in music was her true calling. Being a multiple winner on Star Search helped cement her conviction.
It did not take long for the major labels to call. Enriquez however, was motivated by one lifelong ambition: to sing for one of her mentors, artist and producer Bab...

Carrie, Chris, Todd & Tom: Four writers, four musicians, and one agenda: Write original songs and funk the rock with an attitude like no one has since the prime days of George Clinton, Zeppelin, and Grace Slick.
The first post-internet band that is able to go toe-to-toe with everything considered great ...

Quite probably the best band I've ever had the pleasure to play with. I love these girls!!

Second guitarist Ruby Haynes was added almost a year later and thus far, the girls have played shows in their hometown of Bakersfield, Los Angeles, Visalia, Twin Oaks, and Ventura, CA.

Janet Damita Jo Jackson was born on May 16, 1966 in Gary, Indiana. She's the youngest of 9 children born to Joe and Katherine Jackson. Growing up in the Jackson family, Janet was aware of the lures of performance early on. Since the Jackson 5 were already stars by the time Janet was a teenager, it may never have occurred to her that it was possible to fail in show business.
As she grew older, her interests branched out into several directions -- dancing, acting and singing. She appeared on sta...
Wiedlin was part of the LA punk scene that spawned bands like X and The Dickies and went by the name "Jane Drano." As a member of The Go-Go's, she had a brief love affair with Specials and Fun Boy Three member Terry Hall. It was the ups and downs of this long-distance celebrity relationship with Hall that inspired the hit Go-Go's song "Our Lips Are Sealed". In 1983, Jane Wiedlin recorded "Cool Places" with the new wave band Sparks.
i cannot believe how "modern" and "contemporary" everyone these days has gotten....no janis joplin?? she's like the queen of "rock chicks"..wow!!
Jennie Vee solo project (formally Tuuli and The Vicious Guns).
JENNIFER PAIGE'S overnight success with her self-titled debut album catapulted her into the spotlight and spawned extensive international promotion and touring. After "Crush" went to Number 1 in seven countries around the world, including America, life changed. One minute she was living a relatively private life in Los Angeles, and the next she was either singing for the Pope at the Vatican, in front of both a live and television audience of millions, or sitting with Prince Albert of M...
Jenny Owen Youngs is a feisty, hyper-sensitive, disease-free singer/songwriter/former girl scout who wants to be your friend. Claiming influences from Beck to Jesus Christ Superstar to Britney Spears, her music is an echo of Erin McKeown hopping into Jeff Buckley¹s Pontiac, cruising backwoods Alabama red dirt roads and singing along to The Sundays and Nick Drake. Her songs straddle the heart-wrenching and the tongue-in-cheek and say giddyup.
Raised in the lush greenery of northwest New Jer...

Joana And The Wolf.... yeah it's like Peter and the wolf only the story is very different. A long time ago on the night of the full moon Joana went to the forest and came across the wolf who was howling. She came closer to the wolf and said hey wolf can you teach me to sing that nice hooooowl. And the wolf said yes and asked her to open her pretty mouth, which she did and the wolf jumped in as if into a deep well. Since then, the girl wanders around with the wolf inside her and each time the moo...

Being in a microcosm known as a "band" gives its members a unique perspective on people. On Viberate, Joydrop's sophomore album, the adventuresome rock unit exposes the strengths and weaknesses of human nature from the vulnerability of "Swan Song" to the resilience of "Thick Skin" and sheer disgust of "American Dream Girl."
After touring for the first time, logging over 300 shows in North America, the members of Joydrop -- singer Tara Slone, bassist Tom McKay, drummer Tony Rabalao and guitarist...
Athens duo Jucifer make an unholy ruckus on their new Crack Rock disk, Calling All Cars on the Vegas Strip, managing to stir up an intoxicating stew of the feminine and the brutal.
"The prototype for a female is that they're desirable, pretty to look at, predictable and safe", says Juliette Lewis. "Thats why my music is so important to me, because its the antithesis of that, it breaks the mold." Such a statement should come as little surprise to anyone who has been caught up in the full heat and sweat of a Licks live performance, which has seen Juliette continuing to emanate the same elemental energy and disregard for convention shes done her whole life...
