Vocalist

The Resume

    (November 27, 1976- )
    Born in Madison, Wisconsin
    Born Ayanna Porter
    One album: ‘Ready for the World’
    Singles include ‘Love You Down,’ ‘Baby You’ and ‘September Love’

Why she might be annoying:

    There is some confusion online as to whether the name is fully spelled out or pronounced as ‘I Know Jay.’
    She had a reputation for putting out covers (including one of the band for which her one album was named).
    She regards Celine Dion, Shania Twain, NSync, and Backstreet Boys as influences.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Not yet two years old, she shocked her parents by singing along to War’s ‘Cisco Kid’ — in the middle of the night!
    She regards Stevie Wonder, Chicago, Aaliyah, Michael Jackson, and even the Carpenters as influences.
    She became a prolific songwriter in her own right, particularly for Janet Jackson (for whom she was a backing vocalist on ‘My Baby,’ from ‘Damita Jo’).
