Lea Jol'an (Pronounced Yo-Lawn)

*****Follow me on Twiiter! http://twitter.com/LJTheModel *****

Since age eight, I've been in the spotlight as a vocalist and entertainer. I've sang back up in jazz bands and sang gospel in and out of church but it all started going through my mothers vast collection of old albums with R&B. "You can listen but you better not scratch my records!" my mom would warn. Saturday's were always days filled with music growing up in my house and that tradition hasn't changed now that I have my own home.
In March of 2008, I launched my own entertainment company- In The Key of J!- which has made it's way to the back burner... for now. Currently, I am the lead singer of River Knot Jazz. We work very hard and we're expanding our fan base daily! Our six piece ensemble rocks the house with jazzy, bluesy, R&B hits and originals that definitely keep backs swaying and toes tapping (www.myspace.com/RiverKnotJazz). We are now agent represented and looking forward to the view from the top!

Most recently, I decided to expand my professional repertoire as a model and shortly after deciding to do so, I landed a spot with Wilhelmina Models of PA, an internationally known modeling agency that currently represents talents like, Estelle, Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, Zoe Saldana and so many more (I'm mad excited about this new opportunity)!! With such major backing, I aspire to become a household name in Commercial Print, High Fashion Print, National Promotions, and Commercial Acting. I believe anything is possible with preparation, faith, will and persistence!

Some of my other interets and passions are health and fitness! I believe my body is my most valuable piece of art inside and out and should be well maintained. I love to read and write (poetry, lyrics, novels) and I am sports fanatic-- GO LAKERS!!
