Jasper

Bio:

As a writer from the MTV news room put it, “ 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." Billboard Recording Artist, Jasper James, born in Las Vegas but raised in New York, is on the radar of every legitimate underground music aficionado worldwide. This electrifying performer, singer/rapper, 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.) MTV states, "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? SOUND Jasper James incorporates rap, rock, soul, punk, dance/electro, world and straight up glam into her music, which separates her from her peers. Never one to put limits on her creative output, her global experiences have inspired her to remain true and faithful to her roots. Artist Jasper James’ music highlights an exciting trip through bounce, glitch and rhythm. It is a journey that includes sweat inducing grooves, funky fat beats and angelic harmonies creating an innovative new approach to rhythm and blues music. NEW RELEASES "Conscious Living" spotlights the need for global unity and togetherness. It focuses on the ability of man to look beyond their small world and find the essential humanitarian changes needed to come together and fight the world’ s epic battles, politically and socially. It delivers a fresh burst of musical flavor to music lovers around the world. * ROCKET can also be seen on LOGO Television VH-1 and SPIKE TV. Jasper James is now booking N.
