This special event will be filmed on DVD and will be streamed live online giving the opportunity for fans all over the world to check out.

DANCE CREW BATTLE will feature a contest for dance crews to upload their performance video for reviews at cdrelease@itsjamiejones.com.

Performing songs from CELEBRITY MUSIC, Jamie Jones will feature cuts she terms “fuses 80’s rock with urban music.” Mega-producer Swizz Beatz, hip hop icon Kwame and Larry Gates aka Precision helmed the CD, which was mixed by six-time Grammy winner Ken Lewis (Kanye West, Usher and Lenny Kravitz). Jamie co-wrote and co-produced her own material on Celebrity Music; and recently recorded a duet with ‘LIL WAYNE on her I Am Not Your Angel single.

A 21-year-old multi-racial artist, Jamie Jones has quickly created her “I’m a MUTT” movement with her song “Whatever” -- an insightful autobiographical tune that states: “Is she black? Is she white? Whatever! Can she sing? Can she dance? Whatever! ” Teased as a child for her unknown ethnic background, “Whatever” truly finds its relevance in today’s social climate. Jamie has already performed the song live on BET’s “106 & Park” and has been awarded best female singer on the network’s 2008 “Wild Out Wednesday” competition. She’s also been featured on Allhiphop.com and in Black Beat magazine as an emerging artist to watch and has opened for such noted acts as Erykah Badu, Juelz Santana, Avant, Trey Songz and 112, to name a few.

WHEN: SUNDAY, JUNE 28 @ 7:00 P.M.
