Hi im Jodie, I am 21 years old from Southampton. Performing to an audience is my passion & I thrive on the audience reaction. I've performed for 5 years along the South Coast singing a wide range of covers and original material in my own unique and dynamic style. There is nothing I love more than to be on the stage, I guess you could say I was born to do it!
Projects im working on at this moment in time which I believe will be rather special.
Introducing: Phil Owen from Portsmouth, England
Whilst doing a gig in Portsmouth, luck would have it, when Phil spotted me singing. Phil is a well known producer/song writer in the south. Impressed so much, he has given me the chance to write/sing on his dance productions.
The track "DANCE ALL NIGHT" listed on the play list to is a Funky House track we have been working on. It is not quite the final version but when we have completed the final edit we will be taking this package to UK record labels.
"FASCINATED" which is also listed on the play list is another Funky House track we have been working on. This will also be part of the package after it has been tweaked.
"BAD ENOUGH" is another track in progress which was originally produced by Clive Knightley.Phil Owen has done some super remixes which are again on the play list. Lyrics are written and sang by Jodie Topp
I have written and recorded some other tracks at Clive Knightley's AVRO Studios which are promoted on the website. www.clivek.dsl.pipex.com All tracks are produced by Clive Knightley.
Introducing: MIKE & MIKE from Salzburg, Austria
These guys gave me the chance to record a Euro Dance cover of BERRI's - "SUNSHINE AFTER THE RAIN" which has been signed to the German record label www.klubbstyle.com
The artist is SILVERSTATION who are a big Euro Dance Act!!!
This is now a release on MP3 format in Europe and a forthcoming release in the UK may follow. The track has been getting a lot of club and radio play time in Germany, Switzerland & Austria so watch this space.......
Other recording work includes cover versions of various pop music with Gareth Henderson at HL Studios, which again are promoted on the website. www.hlstudios.co.uk
Gareth Henderson is also my vocal coach. What can I say about Gareth....... He is a fantastic guy who has given me the confidence to be the best that I can. I thank him greatly for making me who I am today.
Last year I sang in the National Grand Final of South Coast Idol - Live & Unsigned. The competition is the biggest music talent contest outside T.V's Pop Idol & X Factor. The show was broadcast LIVE on local radio station www.quayradio.com over the bank holiday weekend at the end of May 2007
The track I sang in the grand final was a QUEEN cover - 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
This is me singing LIVE an original track, written and produced by Phil Owen, 'Wrapped Up in your Skin' which was performed at the South Coast Idol, Southampton regional final.
I won 'BEST FEMALE' on the night with this performance & progressed into the Grand Final.
