so she is super busy, she is all about "USING your voice". expression is her life's work to express and help others find their expresion. through Music, movement, voice, visual art, perfromance art. Music is my first love. WORDS ARE HER OBESSION, and the MIC is her Wife. Theatre is my second love. BOTH are dreams I'm following to the ends of the universe.

"Using my words to go upwards/ not backwards" are lyrics that describes what JB trys to convey in her music. Hip Hop is her choosen avenue of expression. Lyrically motivated music with depth, meaning, positivity like none other. Add that with some memorable hooks and hot beats, then you have JB the Firstlady's Music. Also she likely the first lady you'll every see b-boxing (making beats with her mounth)
