Top Ten With Jessie and The Toy Boys
I’m inspired by:
different things… People, places, colors, books, clothes, old Hollywood glamour.
I realized I wanted to play music when:
I sang in my elementary school’s production of “The Wizard of Oz”.
Four songs you might find on my iPod:
American Life- Madonna
Too Afraid To Love You- The Black Keys
Novacane- Frank Ocean
Ruffneck- Skrillex
One word I would use to describe myself:
Sonic-Boom (does a hyphenated word count?) 🙂
The best part of being a musician is:
You get to create something from nothing every day.
Right now, I’m most excited about:
Being on tour with two of the biggest stars on the planet.
Something most people don’t know about me is:
That I speak Farsi.
One of my happiest moments was:
When I found out I was chosen to open for Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj all summer.
My music is:
my favorite thing in the whole world.
In ten years, I see myself:
Writing, producing and starring in films.
Jessie and The Toy Boys – Push It
Jessie and The Toy Boys’ EP, Show Me Your Tan Lines, is available now on Amazon
She seems pretty interesting and maybe someone my 15yr old would enjoy. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for sharing, this is an awesome song. She sounds similar to Britney Spears so her opening for her is a great match.
If I didn’t see the video, I’d probably have thought this was Britney Spears. Thanks for introducing me I really like Push It.
I love the picture at the top, it’s kinda odd, but at the same time I really like it
My fourteen year niece would love this – right up her alley. Now I can say to her, “Hey have you heard of Jessie and the Toy Boys?” No!? Get with it girl! lol!
That’s a really good sound. I’m going to have to check in it. Thanks for expanding my playlist!
I just have one question.. What’s Farsi?
Sounds pretty good! Thanks for sharing!
My relatives every time say that I am wasting my time
here at net, but I know I am getting knowledge all the time by reading such pleasant content.
