Jody Watley

She's a style-forging pioneer, an innovative music maker: 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 No. 1 Singles in the Pop, Dance/Electronic and R&B music genres over the past three decades – including such classics as "Looking For A New Love," and the groundbreaking collaboration with Eric B and Rakim "Friends". The pairing was the first single to feature a Pop/R&B singer with a rapper doing the customized 16 bar verse. The now standard successful formula continues in music today.
Jody has consistently broken new ground in music, video and fashion. Watley's fashion forward "Real Love" video directed by Academy Award Nominee David Fincher, remains one of MTV's most nominated. In the world of style she was featured in the first celebrity ad campaign for GAP and has appeared in Harper's Bazaar, VOGUE/Italian VOGUE as well as being named one of People Magazines 50 Most Beautiful.
Since the 00's, Watley has continued to broaden her musical explorations working in the electronica music soundscape, working with a range of some of the world's most influential DJ/Producers and Remixers.
Jody Watley has also continued to work with various organizations promoting tolerance, HIV and AIDS awareness, and famine relief for Africa since the 90's.
Entrepreneur, label owner, recording artist, producer, songwriter and performer, Jody Watley celebrates three decades in the world of entertainment carving her own destiny, very much her own woman, truly an inspiration for artists of today and beyond
