Sheâs an innovative music maker, a style-forging pioneer: since the mid-90s, Grammy-winning multi-talented Jody Watley has led the way as an entrepreneur working in the independent music world as one of the few already-established female best-selling artists to produce, create and own her recordings.
.
With an amazing 32 Top Ten Singles and 13 #1 Singles in the Pop, R&B, Dance/Electronic genres over the past three decades - including such classics as 'Looking For a New Love', the ground breaking collaboration with Eric B and Rakim 'Friends', a Lifetime Achievement Award from Billboard and countless accolades Jody has consistently broken new ground in music, fashion (culminating in being featured in the Historic "The Black Issue of Italian VOGUE' in 2008), being named as one of People Magazines 50 Most Beautiful People, video (remaining one of MTV's most nominated female artists), and releasing the best selling 'Dance To Fitness'. Before embarking on her successful solo career, Watley was an original member of the R&B trio Shalamar from 1977-1984. Watley was also a part of the charity single Band Aid "Do They Know It's Christmas".
In recent years she has continued to broaden her music evolution and growth as an artist working successfully in the jazz influenced ambience of electronic soul.
Jody Watley has also continued to work with various charitable organizations promoting tolerance, HIV and AIDS awareness, famine relief and youth programs.
