LettaJ

As a Dallas, Texas native, Grammy Nominated LettaJ's presence in the music marketplace is armed with a powerful and distinctive international sound. The daughter of two pastors, singing in church congregations of thousands of people under Bishop T.D.Jakes’ leadership was no challenge for the youngest member of the Grammy Award Winning Potter’s House Choir. Although her musical foundation is predicated on gospel and contemporary Christian music, she attributes her love for telling stories to country songs. She began performing, playing various instruments and preparing herself as a spokesperson at the tender age of 5 as she routinely competed and won first prize in oratorical contests and University Interscholastic League (UIL) competitions, on a national level. Her move to New York City ushered in numerous opportunities including working at major record labels like P.Diddy’s studio “Daddy’s House”, Sony BMG, Atlantic, Epic, & Universal Records, respectively.
Her musical catalog of over 100 records is comprised of a myriad of genres including electronic dance music, trap with occasional dubstep elements, contemporary R&B and a gentler side with soulfully acoustic and soft rock hues. A published songwriter with licensed material on HBO, Nickelodeon and Disney, she has perfected the craft of pinning anthemic songs for shows like Zoe 101 & iCarly and artists like Ashanti feat. Lil Wayne. Although every record has not made onto their album, LJ has had songs on reserve from some of the industries hottest recording artists like Christina Aguilera, JoJo and Jill Scott. LJ’s ability to deliver a song is the reason she has worked with producers like Timbaland, Mike City and Scott Storch to name a few and has been selected to open in concert for major recording artists like Atlantic Records, Trey Songz and merits phone calls from Clive Davis himself! In additional to her domestic shows, she heralds merit from living legends as the opening act on international tours all over Europe with artists and bands like Sister Sledge, Kool & the Gang and Earth, Wind & Fire, respectively. A published author in a compilation book entitled The Diary of a Songwriter, LJ has expanded her writing repertoire from songs to chapters. Chosen among a handful of other songwriters by Grammy Award winning producer and engineer, Devine Evans, her journey as an author has only just begun. In addition to a national book release came a Grammy Nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album for the Soundtrack released early 2016.
