Jessica 6 'Fun Girl' Video :: directed by Bijoux Altamirano
Jessica 6 has emerged as something like a phenomena of 2009.
The core trio of Nomi Ruiz as vocalist/songwriter, Andrew Raposo on bass and Morgan Wiley on keyboards met while touring with Hercules and Love Affair in 2008. Their diverse talents coalesced in a sexy sound destined for the dance floor.
Their spooky and mesmerizing first single ‘Fun Girl’ has been buzzing around the internet way ahead of release. It’s soulful and languid low-velocity disco style prompted comments such as “a lush, rich sound that is Vanity 6 meets Inner City” (Urb), and “elegantly loping discoid grooves” (FACT).
Nomi, Morgan and Andrew met through their involvement with 2008’s critically acclaimed Hercules and Love Affair, an electro-disco outfit formed in the fires of New York’s dance music scene. After an extensive world tour, the three harnessed the synergy they shared on stage to create original music, and recast themselves as Jessica 6.
Singer Nomi Ruiz was born and raised in Brooklyn. Music was her childhood paradise. As a teenager Nomi gravitated towards a diverse movement of artists dedicated to transforming the contemporary music scene. Since the release of her 2005 debut album ‘Lost In Lust’ (an album of ballads wrapped around hip-hop street samples) she’s toured the world with Debbie Harry, Antony & The Johnsons, and Cocorosie.
