Jocelyn's distinctive voice fronts some of disco music's most timeless tracks. She was born in Kingston, South Carolina. She grew up in a very musical and religious family; gospel through and through. Her aunt, Barbara Roy - a member of disco group Ecstasy, Passion & Pain, helped inspire her to move on to secular music.
She began working prolifically during the latter half of the 70s and set aside her aspiration to become a teacher.
One of Jocelyn's most well known periods came as a member of Patrick Adams' Musique, a group that scored a major disco hit in 1978 with "Keep on Jumpin'". A version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (remixed by DJ Larry Levan of the Paradise Garage, an infamous disco club where she often performed) and "Moment of My Life" followed respectively in 1981 and 1982. They have since become as disco classics.
Jocelyn finally broke as a solo artist in 1984 with "Somebody Else's Guy", a number two RnB smash written with her sister Annette Brown. During this hot period from the late 70s to the close of the 80s she also kept a busy schedule as a session singer for a wide range of artists including Bette Midler, Chic, Candido, Lou Reed, Culture Club, Mick Jagger, and Diana Ross.
During the 90s she worked extensively with Todd Terry, Incognito, Masters at Work, and several others and is still recording to date. Jocelyn created her own label, called Itsallgood Music. She appeared on many jingles for brands such as McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Sprite, Coca Cola, Pepsi, maxwell, American Express just to name a few.
