Jocelyn Brown was born into a family of musicians. So it was only natural that she should begin her apprenticeship in this family environment. She sang in a gospel choir, toured a few times and began to build a solid reputation as a solo singer. Gradually, she switched from gospel to disco music; she exercised her talent in a variety of formations, achieving some commercial success that enabled her to tour the world. Alongside her personal projects, which she developed notably within the group Change, she worked as a backing singer for numerous artists: John Lennon, Roberta Flack, George Benson, Janis Joplin. After leaving the group Change, Jocelyn Brown and her new group "Inner Life" released the acclaimed track "Ain't Mountain High Enough", which opened the doors to some of the most famous clubs on the New York disco scene. 1983 proved to be her breakthrough year, with the release of her most popular single, "Somebody Else's Guy", co-written with her sister Annette. She went on to collaborate on various productions by international artists: in a duet with Kym Mazelle, on Manu Dibango's famous Soul Makossa album, in concert with Roy Ayers. Based in London since 1990, Jocelyn Brown divides her time between career management and writing in collaboration with her sister Annette, and remains a highly sought-after artist on the jazz-funk/dance scene.
