About Me

Jocelyn Scofield is a dynamic and multi-talented singer/songwriter working hard to carve her own path in the music business. Music Connection Magazine recently called her a "natural storyteller" and the Lansing State Journal said she "redefines the term road warrior." Indie-Music Magazine called Jocelyn a "true composerwith a voice like a gutsier Fiona Apple." However, you wont find any knock offs in her sound. It unmistakably her own with a style that combines her greatest influences-pop, jazz, folk, and classical.

Jocelyn has performed in venues ranging from tiny coffeehouses to the 61,000-seat Soldier Field Stadium in Chicago. In 2004, she moved to Los Angeles from Chicago where she had been the voice of choice for emerging songwriters at Summer Song Records, Inc. Never one to wait for life to happen, upon arriving in Los Angeles she immediately began performing. In 2005, Jocelyn toured extensively through southern California, performing between four to 10 shows a month. She has been seen giver her tradmark heart-felt, witty, and spontaneous performances in clubs, music venues, and Borders Books and Music stores throughout the United States as weel as at the Takoma Park Folk Festival, Saugatuck Center for the Arts, and the Atlantis Music Conference.
In November of 2005, Jocelyn released her debut album, This Life. Upon the release of This Life, she embarked on a two-month solo national tour. With just her gear and clothes, Jocelyn traveled over 13,000 miles across country, playing shows in twenty-five states from November through January. The tour was in support of Hurricane Katrina, for which she raised five hundred dollars. Two dollars from every CD and donations collected during the shows went to assist in the hurricane relief effort. After returning to California, she found another outlet for her songwriting. She began co-writing with Grammy Award-winning songwriter/producer, Rick Hahn (Celine Dion, Taylor Dayne, David Foster) and Bobby Tomberlin (Faith Hill, Kenny Rogers, Diamond Rio).
In 2006, Jocelyn released Unplugged and Unorganized, a stripped down acoustic EP that hightlights her wide range of songwriting styles and unique voice. She's been touring nationally for the last two years, performing in an eclectic mix of bars, vineyards, festivals, music cafes, and art fairs.Currently, she is working on her third album which will be released this fall.
