About Me

Jozien started her first band in highschool. After finishing fashionschool she started doing backingvocals for a 10- female funk and soulband called `Some Like It Hot`. Then she knew what she wanted ... she wanted to SING! She recorded her first single with a group called Â´CatClubÂ´.A year later she met rapper Andy Ninvalle, and they released another single, wich was a housetrack. They decided to move on together and formed a new group called Â´Tasta FlavaÂ´. They won the contest Â´Grote Prijs van NederlandÂ´ in the category RnB and released a single called`Fast CarÂ´ a Tracy Chapman song, but with new lyrics. Besides that Jozien was involved in a project called `PULSE` with a German saxophoneplayer, Werner HÃ¹sgen. They released the albumÂ´ Amsterdam GrooveÂ´ in 1999. In the meantime she did lots of backingvocals for Dutch artists like Gordon, Jim, Dewi, Do, Boris, etc. but also for international artists like Angie Stone, Karen Bernod, NÂ´dambi, Madeline Bell, Sandra st.Victor, The New London Chorale, Micheal Franti, and many others. At the moment Jozien is working on her first soloalbum which will be released in 2008.

Influences: My dad and mum for introducing me to jazz. I still like to listen to an old Chet Baker album on a Sundaymorning. And the classical music which was not one of my favourites back then. My brother and sisters, for all the music I had to listen to while studying. I still know all the lyrics of The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Bad Company, Genesis, Alice Cooper, but also Commodores, Nina Simone, Donny Hathaway, Michael Jackson, Aretha, Jackson five, Diana Ross, etc. And of course Madonna, she was hot in my teens and still is. IÂ´ve listened to a lot of Gospel, Ricky Lee Jones, Joni Mitchell, Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares, Stevie Wonder and many RnB artists like India Arie and d`angelo. My ups and downs influenced me bigtime. My first and worst love, my two daughters, my friends, the loss of a dear one and last but not least finding true love after 35 years.
