The Jettsonz |
|
|
|
|
|
The Jettsonz combine the trendsetting production
and songwriting talents of Elijah Wells and Lionel Birmingham.
Both natives of New York, they effectively combine R&B styling,
infused with gospel inflections, layered over hip-hop beats,
with pop appeal. Time will lend itself as proof that they
are decades ahead of their time. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Jettsonz made a lasting and respectful
first impression in 2004, when they presented twin sisters Nicole
and Natalie Albino, collectively known as the dynamic duo Nina
Sky. Exploding with their worldwide hit, Move Ya Body,
the song peaked at No. 4 on The Billboard Hot 100, as well as
dominating the No. 1 spot on several other Billboard charts.
Executive-produced by The Jettsonz, Nina Sky's self-titled
debut album went on to receive critical acclaim, accompanied
by a loyal fan base. |
|
|
|
|
|
According to Billboard, Move Ya Body, is
a combination of Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam and Mary J. Blige. No
one-hit wonder, Nina Sky teams with R&B legend Betty Wright
on You Deserve. The ballad, produced by the Jettsonz, intertwines
classic and new R&B sounds. |
|
|
|
|
|
Quickly following the international success
of Move Ya Body, multi-platinum producer John Jellybean Benitez
(Madonna, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel) signed The Jettsonz to
a lucrative publishing deal with JB Music Publishing, designed
to expand the reach of their sound. |
