Jingle Lingo

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Cortni’ was born musically inclined… literally, in her blood. Her musical background and influence stem from her father’s music ability and knowledge. Receiving vocal lessons from her father, in her youth and throughout her school years, she was always tasked with singing at school graduations, plays, banquets, etc., and was a member of several girl groups.

In her early teen years, although music was still her first love, she also found a love for poetry and began writing. One of her poems was published in an edition of (link hidden). This is where her passion for writing began and she realized she had quite a “knack” for it.

Cortni' began exploring more musical options prompting her to network and connect with producers and record her own music. In her connecting with various producers, she was able to hone different sounds/styles. It was at this point, she took to her love of writing and began experimenting with songwriting. She started writing for her own project(s), her group(s), other singers in need of lyrics and producers seeking lyrics for artists. In 2004, Cortni’ “Made it to Hollywood” for Season 3 of American Idol and although eliminated during the “Hollywood Round,” she placed in the top 80 contestants. While she still pursued a singing career, In 2006, she was awarded as a “Finalist” in the USA SongWriting Competition for an original work.

After years of dabbling in the music business (and then taking a step back), during the first wave of Covid-19, she felt as though she was sitting on a gift that was Blessed by God and wasn’t ok with that anymore – she needed to share her gift. But in what capacity? She knew she no longer wanted to pursue being an artist… she wanted to be behind the scenes and knew she wanted to stick with the craft of writing. Jingle writing utilized all of her talents, it’s fun, brings joy and it just felt right!

Cortni’s style and sound is that of its own and she loves complicating beautiful melodies and harmonies driven by deep bass lines and 808’s with touches of symphony here and there. Even when she took a step back from music, it still followed her almost to a point of ‘haunting her.’ One day, she realized it's the art of expression/writing and the feelings of nostalgia you gain from music that really have her art; the artistry of it all... not the fame as she never really loved the stage. While she loves to sing and sings all day long, every day, she no longer pursues a career as an artist. She will, however, always and forever be… a Singer/Song Writer. Music is IN her and she can’t deny it.

Music is a platform for self-expression and empowerment. Cortni’ believes that we sing what we cannot speak.
