Sax Sensation JESSY J Wins ASCAPLUS Award, Signs with New Management
& Returns to Studio for Third Album with Grammy Hitmaker Paul Brown
Los
Angeles, CA (September 22, 2010) When singer/composer/saxophonist
Jessy J sets her sights on a career goal, she follows through with
laser-like precision. Two years and two albums after her auspicious
debut on Peak Records/Concord Music Group, Jessy J has been selected by
the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) for
the prestigious ASCAPLUS writing award, announced new management and is
returning to the studio with Grammy Hitmaker Paul Brown.
After
a whirlwind year of touring and being awarded the ASCAPLUS, Jessy J has
signed with Stewart Coxhead at International Music Management of Leeds,
England, as her personal manager. Additionally, booking duties will now
be handled by Paul Goldman of Monterey International Agency in Chicago,
Illinois (Lee Ritenour, Jesse Cook, and Fourplay).
“Clearly my
career is evolving and I need to seize the wonderful opportunities out
there on the world stage,” says Jessy. “With the growth of social
networking, online music stations, and e-commerce, the world is
literally at our doorstep and Stewart has the expertise to take my
career to the next levels.”
Coxhead’s career spans four decades
in the UK encompassing record company ownership, artist management,
record marketing/distribution and promotion. He has also written,
produced and presented for radio, television, print and internet music
publications. He currently manages three-time Grammy nominated
supergroup Acoustic Alchemy.
While her tunes have often been
categorized as “smooth jazz with a Latin flavor,” Jessy notes her
growing popularity and fan base in the worldwide adult contemporary
market. It’s with this knowledge that Jessy has returned to the studio
with mentor and labelmate, Paul Brown, once again handling production
duties for her third album. The Grammy-winning producer will again
produce, co-write, and perform on the album. “Paul brings the best out
of me; our collaborations are always productive and amazing,” said
Jessy. The yet untitled album is expected to debut in the second quarter
of 2011.
