Writer/producer/perfromer JIVE JONES is looking to move his act into the spotlight in 2001, with his debut solo released that should be out early this yer. Jive has been in the business for years making music and helping some of the more successful acts in pop find the sound that made them famous. Just take a look at the work he did with MANDY MOORE writing and producing her first hit single, "Candy," which has lead to her booming career. Jive will be very visible in the next few months getting the word out there about his release, while he continues to work with other up and coming artists in his New Youk recording studio. For the young performer, his work is his life, and says he is already working on songs for a follow-up album, while he still has the time before his busy touring schedule kicks in.
