Award Winning Artist Jasper James (cousin of Chris Jasper of Isley Brothers fame) makes it easy for audiences to understand why she is on the radar of every legitimate underground music aficionado in NYC and an international one to watch.
Born In Las Vegas and raised in New York, this Electrifying performer, singer/rapper, dance music provocateur and CMJ/SXSW alumni has opened for musical icons such as Debbie Harry (Blondie,)Electro-Pop Goddess Peaches, DJ Johnny Juice of Public Enemy as well as Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl.)As a writer from the MTV news room so eloquently put it, "It's difficult to put Jasper James into a category. Is she a singer or a DJ? Is she a whacked-out performance artist, a transcendent or merely a genius? One thing is clear: In the ever-weirdening world of dance-infused Electrohop, it takes somebody forward-thinking to stay ahead of the curve, and James is from the future." There is plenty of glam disco in Jasper James' sound to set her apart from her Hip-Hop peers, and as Michael Paoletta the Music Editor of Billboard Magazine adds; "Make no mistake: the spiky-haired and incredibly photogenic Jasper James (think David Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust days)
knows her Labelle from her MIA." This fact was solidified with her latest release "ROCKET," which captured the attention of both MTV and Billboard only one month after the songs release. The video was reviewed and exclusively premiered by MTV and was subsequently picked up for full distribution by LOGO Television. As demonstrated on James' Album "VIBRATOR" released earlier this year, each track is a journey to a new perfect beat-inventing a whole new style of music. Powerful vocals backed by rocktronica-edged beats in a disco-dipped, retro-futuristic nod to the 80's, Jasper James is not only one to watch but one to experience.
