Best known to millions of TV viewers as a top four finalist during the 2007 season of American Idol, LaKisha Jones is ready to reclaim center stage in music, theater and television. Her last album, “So Glad I’m Me” was full of Jones’ expressive, full-bodied and arresting vocals, the same voice that electrified American Idol viewers with the Dreamgirls showstopper “And I Am Telling You”.
Raised by her mother and grandmother in Flint, Michigan, Jones was exposed to the music of legendary singers. Her grandmother urged Jones to "let your voice shine" which lead to Jones joining various chorale groups and a cappella choruses throughout high school. Following her Broadway stint, Jones provided vocal coaching on MTV's reality competition Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods.
