Originating from St. Louis, MO, as a child she performed in many venues as a modern dancer with her mother, Loyce Huston.  As a teenager, she got her first taste of fame as the vocalist with Rock 'n Roll Hall of Famer, Johnnie Johnson (a/k/a Father of Rock 'n Roll piano) who was Chuck Berry's original pianist and which the song "Johnny B. Good" was written in honor of.

Lady J's next big break came at the age of 18 when she toured with the legendary Blues Hall of Famer, Albert "Blues Boy" King band for several years [more].   On May 18, 2013 HBO aired the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame ceremony where Albert King was inducted.

Lady J was hired as a Trumpeter and eventually moved up the ranks as horn section leader, then Music Director as well as Opening Act.  Being the only female in an all male band was most interesting.  She was performing amongst stars such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Etta James, Millie Jackson, Bo Didley and many other blues legends. Lady J performed with Albert King on the only known fully televised performance featuring him on the Maintenance Shop Blues PBS special.
