From classical to country, music from every genre has the unique ability to uplift and inspire those who listen. And inspiring others has always been Jodi’s ultimate goal. A performer for most of her life, Jodi’s passion for music began when she was only a child.
A naturally talented singer, Jodi’s tremendous ability was discovered at the young age of five when Jodi’s dad bought the family an 8-track karaoke singing machine. Jodi would listen to her mom singing and began to sing along. That’s when Jodi’s mom noticed she was singing the songs note for note, on key every time. Right away her mom knew Jodi was something special.
Jodi soon found a love for singing and performing. She loved the way it made her feel and the way it made others feel as well. She began to sing for anyone who would listen. Literally Family members, friends, anyone who cared to hear would be treated to a show of Jodi’s amazing vocals. She would even knock on the doors of the older folks in the neighborhood and sing for them. Soon she began performing for the neighborhood kids, charging a mere $0.25 cents per person.
Jodi’s exceptional talent soon became very popular and widely known throughout her tightly-knit community. Most people referred to her as their “small-town star.” She began singing at every available venue in town – weddings, funerals community and church events – Jodi hit them all.
By the age of ten, Jodi began making a name for herself throughout the state of Utah and in no time, was singing in front of thousands in Las Vegas with the Utah-based country group SHeDAISY, formally known as the Osborn sisters. From there Jodi’s music has taken her from Utah to California to Nashville to Indiana and everywhere in between.
While performing through the years, Jodi has passed up several opportunities to sign with labels. Jodi realized early on the importance of placing her family first and staying true to the music she is most passionate about. Jodi’s ultimate goal is touching others through the Spirit of her music.
Jodi’s rich vocals demand attention, but the tender side of her voice invokes great emotion. One friend commented, “I have never felt the spirit so intensely since the last time I heard you sing. You have the voice of a true angel!” It’s this level of spiritual experience for herself and for others that drives Jodi’s passion for singing.
