Before her solo act invaded New York’s underground music scene, Our Lady J (aka Jonnah Speidel) musical directed and performed with some of NYC’s most colorful talents in hot spots including Alice Tulley Hall, Birdland, The Box, Carnegie Hall, Caroline’s on Broadway, The Cutting Room, Feinstein’s at the Regency, Joe’s Pub, Makor, The Metropolitan Room, Radio City Music Hall and The Town Hall. She also accompanied the NYC Gay Men's Chorus, American Ballet Theatre, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, and the Mark Morris Dance Group, where she was a featured performer in the MMDG Music Ensemble. As a composer, she scored Bertolt Brecht’s Caucasian Chalk Circle for NYU’s Steinhardt School of Continuing Education and is composing the musical-in-progress, The Gift.
