________________________________________
Why this name?
I was orginally named after John the Baptist from the Bible by my mother, in 1976 while touring the world performing with the San Francisco band Race N' Rythum I shorten the spelling of my first name resurrected my middle name and kept my last name. I thought it sounded more like the international personailty and lover of woman I am.
Do you play live?
I have been Singing/entertaining professionally, locally,nationally and internationallyy since 1968, so of course I love it!, my first professional gig openning up for Ike and Tina Turner at The Egyptian Theatre Milwaukee Wi 1968 what I remember most was using the same dressing room as the Iketts and James Brown and Al Green 1971 in The Milwaukee Auduitorium and working with Bob Marley and Toots and The Maytels in Jamaica in 1969 having conversations with them about the Rasja faith smoking and drinking 151 proof rum was definitely a Highlight!! Then later performing and touring with Motown's legendary group Jr. Walker's All-star Band as lead their vocalist. Learning and performing with the pioneers of Rock,R&B,Reggae and Soul has been my joy.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Yes,providing alternative music resources,and avenues of promotions and airplay that reaches the world.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Well since I am already President of a indie label/Entertainment company since 1989 we have released 5 CD's on Hip Hop,r&b, rock and country artists and created a new thing we call" Ahvantsoul" Soul of Middle Esatern music,latin and American R&B,soul " "Sacred Dance'' our new single from the CD titled Jon Pierre Gee & Kat Webb Ahvantsoul presents this new sound. So to answer your question I would perfer a distribution deal and discover and produce or own talent.
