About

Somewhere in and out of the blurred lines of erotic, edgy and funk lives the sultry world of Jean Morisson.

Born in NYC after a steamy, hot summer to a culturally diverse family, Jean began singing and performing to anything and anyone that would listen, during a time when music was music and Prince was still a revolution.

Armed with a keen sense of words and notes, Jean cultivated her talents, searching for her perfect sound, and came to a blend of edgy Rock, sultry Funk, raw R&B styled with a mix of lyrics forged well within the realms of Sting and Edgar Allen Poe.

Jean Morisson's first band, MorissonPoe, gained notoriety when selected to write 2 songs for Microsoft's XBOX 360 launch title "Perfect Dark Zero" - The soundtrack's producer being the legendary Nile Rodgers.

Nile Rodgers' interest in the band was instantaneous and he quickly signed them to his SUMTHING label and co-produced their debut album entitled "Evolution" immediately after walking in to a sold out show at CBGB's as Jean Morisson poured a pitcher of milk all over her body saying to the audience, "Is it hot in here or is it just me?"

And as the music and touring world became more amazing and chaotic, Jean's romantic life took a tumble into darkness, shifting her artistry into a place she never expected, a direction that would take her out of the underground and on the road to top 40 radio.

With her band members by her side, she decided a more personal direction lyrically, looking within on an introspective story to tell, writing through the eyes of lust and glory, pain and pleasure - songs that would take her to the next level of her career.

Fast forward 2012, her story begins at Act 1 / Scene 2 - a song called "Naughty feat Nile Rodgers," that depicts a time and place where the seduction was everything and the night was hers.

Re-joining forces with Nile Rodgers, long-time songwriting partner / producer and her band, Jean wrote the songs that make up her album in 4 acts entitled, "Beauty In The Breakdown" with musical guests including Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Raymond Angry (The Roots, D'Angelo), Grammy-winning engineer Jason Goldstein and the legendary Bob Clearmountain.

With a thunderous voice, poetically explosive lyrics and a sizzling, virtuoso band, Jean Morisson promises to set radio and stages across the world on fire with her incendiary blend of danceable Pop-Funk with rocked-out Urban flare.

(New York, NY - October 24, 2012) - Jean Morisson's independent funky, edgy Pop release, "NAUGHTY featuring Nile Rodgers," debuts at #40 on the Billboard R&R Top 40 Pop Indicator Chart on October, 23, 2012.

"NAUGHTY," just recently released, features the legendary Nile Rodgers on guitars. Nile also appears in the music video, directed by R3Y GUTI3RR3Z, the video game director that directed Jean Morisson's band's music video for XBox 360 launch title, Perfect Dark Zero.

Jean Morisson's sound is a blend of Urban influenced Rock, with an edgy Pop-tinge, reminiscent of Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Prince, and a live band of virtuoso musicians.

As lead singer of MorissonPoe, Jean Morisson has been featured in video game tv shows, and the bands single "Glitter Girl *Evil Side*" premiered on MTV's Jumbotron in Times Square, with Usher hosting.

The remix for "NAUGHTY" was released on October 16, and is already hitting the radio waves and clubs across the country, and now into Europe.

Jean Morisson's upcoming solo album, "Beauty in the Breakdown" has an all-star cast, including guitarists Nile Rodgers and Vernon Reid (Living Colour), keyboard player Raymond Angry (The Roots, D'Angelo, Joss Stone) and mixes by Jason Goldstein (The Roots, Beyoncé), and the legendary Bob Clearmountain.
