Hello! My Name Is Jodi Ann. I am a songwriter from Nashville,TN. I have been writing music since I was12 years old. I came through a rough childhood and somehow I managed my feelings in music. I have led a full life with hardly a dull moment.
Some of my musical influences came from the wonderfull soul of Dolly Parton. She has such a way with words. Allison Krauss, Reba McEntire, and Lorrie Morgan Have also played a major role in my music.
Jodi Ann The Beginning, is my first album. I have songs from my heart, as well as toe tappin' country songs! It is Country tinged with Bluegrass.
The second Album is due out in the Spring 2010. Its called A Brief Moment in Time. I am under different management on this album and has a variety of different styles!
My (shortened) Bio:
Jodi Ann is a singer/songwriter who was born and raised in Michigan. She started to write poems at the age of 12, received her first guitar at age 8, but did not learn to play it until she was 24. Her first songs were poems to guitar noise at 18 that lead her down the road of singer/songwriter.
Jodi Ann was a well-known Karaoke DJ in Michigan and was a pre-opening act for Diamond Rio at the 1997 Michigan State fair.
Jodi Ann moved to Nashville in October 1998, with her first professional public performance at the famous Tootsies where was was introduced by country legend Dell Reeves. Other performances at the Bluebird Café and around Nashville rounded out a modest start to a potential career.
In 2007, Jodi Ann met a man in Nashville who jump started her music career. His name was Rick. He took her from her waitressing job to recording an album of her original work. He became her c0-writer, producer and best friend. They recorded her first CD, Jodi Ann ~The Beginning, and they had many high hopes! One of their songs was recorded by a country artist and performed on the Late Show with David Letterman.
They began work on the second album titled, A Brief Moment in Time. I am very sad to say that Rick passed away shortly after production. Jodi Ann took a little bit of time off to mourn the loss of her friend. She realized that he would have wanted her to get back in the swing of things.
The second album is still in the process of getting finished and is due to be released later in 2010.
Jodi Ann has seen radio airplay in Sydney, Australia with dj Dukerider, in the England area on the Monday mix with Emma Cherry and a few various stations across the US. In Northern Ireland, on aiiradio.net with dj Yorkie, She has had three songs go to the top forty and her song 'Wheels' was awarded admittance to the hall of fame for staying in the top forty for eighteen weeks straight! She was the Featured artist on the Outer Post and on Indie Charts, on Jan. 24th 2008, she won the Battle on the bands contest competing against bands from all genres of music!
I'm looking for artists to record some of my songs. Please listen and see what you think. Thank You!

I need to get back into live performances. I remember the feeling of excitement, dread, love, and fear all rolled into one emotion right before getting on stage. I really do miss it! .
In My Own Words:
I started writing at about age 12. mostly in poem. I didn't know how to verbalize my feelings. It has always been easier to write them down. I learned to put my poems and my guitar noise together when I was 18. Voila! singer/songwriter.When I was 22 I became a Karaoke Dj. When I was 23 I became one of the best known Karaoke dj's and worked at the biggest night club in the city. I had many radio spots and was known as the karaoke goddess! No Lie!!! At the MI state fair in 1997, I was one of the pre-opening acts for Diamond Rio.
I moved to Nashville in Oct. 1998. My first professional public performance in Nashville was at the famous Tootsies. Country legend, Dell Reeves, invited me on stage and said " Hey every body! I'd like to introduce a friend of mine.Yes major highlight of my life!
I used to perform at the world known BlueBird Cafe on Monday nights and play downtown Nashville on other various nights.
Grand Ole Opry was the place to be, Especially when you're backstge on a Friday night!!! Through a friend of a friend, I got the hook up. Charlie Louvin of the Louvin brothers, was a friend of my friend. I hung out with Little Jimmy Dickens ( jimmy! my face is up here!) and the wonderful Porter Wagner. I met Vince Gill, Amy Grant, John Berry, Diamond Rio (again), Holly Dunn, Pam Tillis Lorrie Morgan, Reba McEntire, Brooks and Dunn, Daryl Dodd,Mark Chestnut, Joe Diffie, and SOOOOO many more people.
Since then I have recorded a full 11 song Cd, Titled The Beginning, and I am currently working on another. My second CD is due out in the spring of 2010. Watch out for a BIG promotional campaign and online CD release party!
