Biography JACINTA is an accomplished international singer/songwriter from Australia with Five impressive Billboard Dance Club Chart hits in the United States and many self penned songs that have found their way into film. In March 2008, Jacinta was nominated Best Break-Through Artist for the International Dance Music Awards and in October has released her latest single ELECTRIC UNIVERSE. Jacinta's first US single release SUNSHINE hit the top twenty on the BILLBOARD 'Hot Club Play' Chart in early 2006. Her second single DESTINATION released May 2006 was also a Billboard 'Hot Club Play' Hit, climbed to 5 on the DJ Times Chart and is still receiving airplay on Dance Music Radio. Jacinta’s third release CAN’T KEEP IT A SECRET debuted as the #1 Breakout Song on the Billboard Dance Chart and peaked at #7 on 07/07/07. Still receiving massive support in the USA, SECRET peaked #2 on the DJ Times and FMQB charts. This instant hit also received high rotation on US Dance Radio and found Jacinta new audiences in the UK, Europe and the Middle East. Nov 8/08 saw ELECTRIC UNIVERSE hit Break Out for the Billboard Hot Dance Club Chart, with it’s debut on the main chart on Nov 22. 2009 has been huge, with the release of multiple projects; co-productions with new duo “Wild Jaam” featuring Jacinta and Amber Dirks (of Sister Sledge fame), and a new Cybersutra track featuring Jacinta. Endorsed by Judge Jules of BBC Radio1, the Song I SEE FIRE debuted as the #1 Breakout Song on the Billboard Dance Chart in January 2009. Jacinta’s dream has also been realized this year, literally, with the full stage show “DREAM!” now a reality in partnership with long time friend, Producer/Director Don Fox. Amazing visuals, full orchestra, backing singers, dancers and a wonderful story line bring out all of Jacinta’s best attributes, highlighting her soaring vocals, dynamic stage presence and multi instrumental musical prowess. In conjunction with DREAM!, the new album LUMINA will also be released later in the year. 2009 also marks her first European releases in Germany and the Benelux region thru Five Star Records, and her representatives in that area, International Artists.
