Biography:
Joanna Levesque was born on the December 20, 1990, in Brattleboro, Vermont.
Her mother, a church soloist and theatre performer, would sing hymns when
Joanna was a baby. She grew up being a big fan of Whitney Houston, Etta James,
Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald. A few years later she wanted to show her
talent to the world and found an audition for "Kids Say the
Darndest Things" (1998). She appeared at the audition and was allowed into
the episode on the spot. Then, at Bill Cosby's request, she
performed "Respect" for the audience, and got an amazing response from
Cosby. That's when the calls started pouring in. First Oprah Winfrey asked
her to appear on her super-popular talk show, followed by the Republican National
Convention, the Boston Celtics, and Rosie O'Donnell. However, it was at the 2001
Gospelfest that she brought an entire crowd to its feet. Next she
auditioned for "America's Most Talented Kids" (2003) competition.
She didn't win, but she met a man named James Womack, who introduced
her to an executive at Da Family Entertainment. She signed with them,
and was offered two contracts before finding her match with Blackground
Records. Before her single "Leave (get out)" came out she toured with the
prince of R'n'B, Mr Usher Raymond himself. Finally her single came out and
went directly to the top of the American charts.
