Jennifer Edison

If you think you’re ready for a new R&B crossover Pop legend, whose music embodies the ingredients and elements to inspire the hearts of many, ensuring the fate of a great song, compelled by its listeners, to be named “Classic”? Then you may be ready for Jennifer Edison. A native of “Motown” Detroit, MI who’s great aunt Florence Ballard sang with The Supremes, Edison takes no prisoners when it comes to her singing and songwriting talent. “I want all of my songs to have a point. Even if the point is to just have fun, I like to write songs that have a purpose and an overall message. I like to break down a situation and talk about things that we all probably know but never really say out loud, or maybe in a way we never thought about”, she declares. Edison’s songs are expressed with the delicacy of her buttery smooth voice and the thunder of her emotions as she unites the dynamics of the lyrics and music and explores the highs and lows of her vocal range.

No stranger to hard work and dedication, Edison has sang, written, co-produced and self-promoted two solo albums recruiting fans all over the world from the United States to Japan, Germany, Switzerland, Europe, United Kingdom and more. Her first album entitled JLE “That’s Me”, released on the internet in 2003, garnered her a nomination for Best R&B Album of The Year by the Los Angeles Music Awards and helped build her an international buzz. Late 2005 Jennifer began promoting her second album entitled “A Thousand Wings” whose poetic array of melodies sets her aside from what most would term “independent” and shows those who listen that she can indeed compete with the top artists of today.

Her first single entitled “I’m out” captured the attention of radio program directors as well as club DJs all over the world. "She's a hot new artist with the complete package. She's got the look, the vocal ability and a solid record. She's a star in the making" says Kelvin Quarles, PD of KMOJ-FM in Minneapolis, MN. A compliment on Edison’s music was not hard to find as Ralph Meachum, PD of WFXM-FM (Foxie 107) in Macon, GA says "I think she's a phenomenal talent with an extremely bright future. Don't sleep on this one!" Ms. Edison’s shameless self promotion managed to obtained radio airplay on over 30 commercial stations in the US and has her single highly sought after among DJ Record Pools in the US and Germany. She climbed into the top 100 on several record pool charts in the US and in less than a day shot to #3 on the DJ League of Europe’s promotion charts in September, 2006 where she remains in the top 10 amongst major label artists. Jennifer also demanded the attention of the press having her songs, press releases, or interviews published by over 30 internet publications including Sohh.com, TLA-PRonline, Singersroom.com, Manhunt.com and many more. Her internet buzz spread from the #1 Unsigned artist on Soundclick.com to winning over 12 awards on Garageband.com including Best Female Vocals and Best Lyrics. With a B.A. in Marketing from Michigan State University, intimidation is not a factor in Jennifer’s willingness to get involved in the not-so-artsy business aspects of her career.

To say, however, that she is alone in her endeavors would be greatly misleading as she is joined with her Father, and her older brother Charles Edison who is the brains behind the music on most of the songs she has recorded. They have a chemistry that can only be explained with one word – Genetics. “My brother and I just work so well together. Sometimes I’ll write a song with a melody, but no music, just the words”, she says. “Then he’ll show me a track that he already made that totally fits what I wrote. It’s amazing”. Her music takes the face of real life situations with a diverse style that reflects Edison’s musical tastes and influences, which includes artists such as Whitney Houston, Brandy, and Lauren Hill, to name a few. Edison’s future is sure to capture a larger than life portion of R&B and Pop fans around the world.
