About Me

English born to Jamaican parents, Jacquoda is a mixture of Cherokee Indian with a Chinese bloodine. So exotic are her looks it's no surprise that she has a variety of tastes when it comes to her musical influences. 'My own music takes on a soulful, acoustic jazz feel. I listen to all kinds of music and I mean everything! The world is full of such variety, why not explore them all?...' I have come a long way in expression, since first putting pen to paper at the tender age of 11. My confidence took a boost after being chosen as runner-up in a songwriting competition in 1988, which was judged by the band 'Wet Wet Wet' since then I have never looked back. My ambitions are to become a serious, successful singer/songwriter and to work with many artists and writers, I have a great deal of respect for artists who write their own material.Currently working with LA/Holland producers 'Beat Royalty' and Indiana Saxophonist 'Danny Lerman'.The 'New Radicals' sang...you only 'Get What You Give!' and Iv'e certainly got the music in me!...'IT IS TIME FOR MY MUSIC TO BREATH, BE HEARD AND INSPIRE!!!'
