Erika Jayne

This event is rain or shine. Known for her alluring vocals, catchy melodies and electro beats, not to mention an infectious taste of decadence, pop vocalist, songwriter and performer ERIKA JAYNE is a bona fide queen of the charts. Distinguished by industry powerhouse Billboard magazine for an “uncommon feat” (issue date 6/26/10), ERIKA JAYNE has sent all six of her singles to #1 on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. Erika was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Her mother and grandmother served as her first musical influences and inspirations, which inevitably lead to pop stardom. Her true love for the limelight, started when she joined musical theater in high school playing roles such as Val from ‘A Chorus Line’ and Frastrada in ‘Pippin’ at the North Atlanta School of Performing Arts. She toured the world in the school revue show where she performed “9 to 5” and Madonna’s “Get Into The Groove”. Wanting to truly give the music business a try, at 18 she moved to New York and was in a few girl groups, but always wanted to step out on her own. Erika made her arrival on the club music scene back in 2007 with her electro-hued track “Rollercoaster”, off her debut album ‘Pretty Mess’ (E1 Records), which became her first of many #1 U.S. Billboard Hot Dance/Club hits. “Rollercoaster” has been featured in two films; ‘Deal’ feat. Burt Reynolds and the horror film, ‘Bumper’. In 2008, Erika released her follow up single, “Stars,” which also reached #1 on Billboard’s Dance/ Club chart and its music video, directed by Scott Speer (Will.I.Am, The Veronicas, Paris Hilton), spent 12 weeks on LOGO’s ‘The Click List’, peaking at #2. The songs success doesn’t stop there. It also had its movie debut in ‘American Summer’ with Efren Rameriz (Napoleon Dynamite) and Matthew Lillard (Scream). “Stars” successors, “Give You Everything” and “Pretty Mess” also made it to Billboards #1 spot and two of ‘Pretty Mess’s’ tracks “Just Lose Myself” and “Just a Phase” are in the 2007 Matthew Modine flick,
