Jody Banks

Who is JODY BANKS



Born in East Oakland to an Italian mother who was

partially deaf and an African American father with a

knack for cooking good food, Jody Banks learned early

on about the meaning of life, struggle, hustling and

hard love.



At the of age six in Los Angeles, CA she endured many

nights of panhandling with her mother when food was

scarce. She stood in the spotlight of dimmed lights at

gas stations waiting to ask people to wash their cars

and pump their gas for small change.



After many financial hardships and mental and physical

abuse she found music as a therapeutic source to

alleviate her misery. At age eleven she met Automatic

through a relative and auditioned for a kids rap group.

She immediately realized this was the life she wanted

to pursue and spent many opportunities learning about

the entertainment industry.



Her biggest inspiration in not only her life but in

her music was her mother, JODY, who left when she was

about 8 years old. Her mother was homeless on the

streets of Downtown Los Angeles for several years and

Jody Banks' goal was to relinquish her mom from the

midnight crack corners that she would eventually

call home. At the age of eighteen Jody Banks, while

searching for an emotional reunion with her mom,

discovered she was brutally murdered.



Jody spent countless nights pondering what her mission

in life was now that her sole purpose, energy and best

friend had suddenly been taken away. Jody Banks

realized that she could still make her mother proud

and give back to her by doing what she was meant to

do.spit emotional content. With this in mind

and taking on her mother's name, Jody Banks is setting

out to not only succeed in becoming one of the best

MC's out in the industry to date, she's out to achieve

something much more dear to her heart.THE JODY

ETZLER FOUNDATION which will help homeless and

battered women and children in need. This is, for Jody

Banks, the biggest debt she could ever repay her

mother. There is no doubt that this is not just your

everyday dame, but a women on a mission with one thing

on her mind. SHE WILL NOT LOSE.
