Joss Stone Biography

Joss Stone grew up in Ashill, Devon, England, listening to a variety of different music, especially R&B and soul. Her admiration of artists like Aretha Franklin eventually contributed to her soulful singing style. At the age of fourteen, an appearance on Star for a Night (BBC Television), singing “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” stunned audiences with her talents. A few years later, she auditioned for Steve Greenberg, CEO of S-Curve, in New York City, and her fate as a future superstar was sealed.

Joss Stone flew to Miami to begin work on The Soul Sessions, her debut album. On the strength of such singles as "Fell In Love With A Boy", "Super Duper Love (Are You Diggin' On Me?),” the album reached the Top Five in the UK upon its release in 2003, and made it into the US Top 40. Stone followed up with Mind, Body & Soul in 2004, an album which became an even bigger success, breaking records in the UK and landing at number eleven on the US charts. “You Had Me,” "Don't Cha Wanna Ride,” “Right to Be Wrong,” and “Spoiled,” all made it into the Top 40. That same year, Joss Stone joined Band Aid 20, in benefit of the Darfur region, alongside superstars like Bono and Chris Martin, to record a fresh rendition of the 1984 hit “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”

Since that time, Joss Stone has released the albums: Introducing Joss Stone (2007), Color Me Free! (2009), The Soul Sessions Vol. 2 (2012), and Water for your Soul (2015.) Stone continues to perform and record, and in recent years she has also reached beyond her well-established music career and talents, making her film debut in Eragon in 2006, playing Angela, a fortuneteller. In 2008, she made her television debut as Anne of Cleves on Showtime’s The Tudors.
