 Jocelyn Enriquez
 Tommy Boy

  

Diva defines women of style and sophistication who possess an aura of amazing beauty. Diva only begins to describe Tommy Boy dance artist Jocelyn Enriquez.  Her unique quality of a fresh, playful voice that is passionate and filled with spirited youthful energy adds to her description. Yet, despite her tender years, she's poised to take the music industry by storm. 

"Do You Miss Me," from her second album entitled Jocelyn, was her first bonafied smash hit which stayed on the radio airplay charts for over 23 weeks. The intriguing second single "A Little Bit Of Ecstasy" solidified Jocelyn's musical experience in the dance genre, as the song hit Billboard's Dance sales chart at #1 for 6 weeks straight! She quickly followed this anthem with her third single "Get Into The Rhythm". "I love to sing," Jocelyn declares. "I hope all of my albums reflect that."

In 1993, Jocelyn was discovered by Glenn Gutierrez, who helped the young diva-in-the-making shape her debut CD Lovely, which garnered favorable press. Lovely came out in 1994 on Classified Records and contained the dance hits "I've Been Thinking About You" and "Make This Last Forever."  Jocelyn has made the leap from teen singing sensation to star as she begins recording her new full-length album. It's a move that she's been preparing for her entire life.

Born and raised in San Francisco, Jocelyn was singing by the age of three and often performed at church and for her family. With her family in her corner, the young Jocelyn studied voice with the San Francisco Girls Chorus and the San Francisco Opera Company.  Such rigorous training gave Jocelyn a musical foundation that was invaluable and helped her to unlock the power in her supple voice. "I was a big fan of Olivia Newton-John, Whitney Houston and Madonna, and learned a lot by studying their records," she says.

Getting even more favorable notice were Jocelyn's incredible live stage performances. With strong radio support, Jocelyn continues to tour extensively, playing throughout the US and abroad, opening for acts such as Jon Secada, The Fugees, LL Cool J, Brandy, Mase and Dru Hill. International stardom also takes her through Canada, Brazil, Philippines, Singapore, Guam and other countries.

In 1998, Tommy Boy unleashed the soundtrack to "54," where Jocelyn collaborated with label mate Amber and Strictly Rhythm artist, Ultra Nate. The trio, known as the Stars On 54, remade the Gordon Lightfoot classic "If You Could Read My Mind", produced by the Berman Brothers, as the soundtrack's lead single. The song excited Miramax movie executives so much, they decided to include Stars On 54 in the final scene of the "54" motion picture.

Jocelyn continued to make her mark on her community and the music industry by winning the Best Dance Album Award at the 1998 conference for the Association For Independent Music (AFIM); 1998 Best R&B Artist at the Bay Area Music Awards; 1997 Best Dance Artist at the Bay Area Music Awards; Best Freestyle Single "A Little Bit Of Ecstasy" at the 1997 Winter Music Conference; and her greatest achievement as one of five award winning honorees of the 1998 "Bridge Builders" Asian American Leadership Awards.

After taking some well-deserved time off to tend to her personal life, Jocelyn recently went back in the studio to record her new single, "When I Get Close To You", which went to #1 on the Billboard Club Chart. It will be one of the many songs on her forthcoming Tommy Boy album.

It is that sense of who she is and what she wants that sets Jocelyn apart from the fly by night song birds. Ask Jocelyn how she wants to be perceived and she is direct. "I know image is so important, but I have to say I'm not trying to be anything but myself. That's the only way I know how to succeed. And that's how I live my life and perform my music. True to my dreams and myself.”

Following that success, Jocelyn took a well-deserved break to search her soul and confirm that she was on the right path. What she found was that she couldn't stay away from the music industry. Jocelyn stayed in touch with her fans with appearances, performances and by contributing to various musical projects. Her short sabbatical helped Jocelyn realize that the music industry is exactly where she needs to be and she began working on new songs.

Since her last release Jocelyn has matured as an artist, as is apparent on the new album. It is reflected in the songs she carefully chose and the strength and intensity of her voice. Over the years Jocelyn has evolved as a businessperson as well. She recently started her own record label, JEM Entertainment, on which ALL MY LIFE is being produced. Jocelyn executive produced this album and was involved in every step of the making of this album. ALL MY LIFE is truly a culmination of Jocelyn Enriquez' lifetime of experience and love of music.
