NEW YORK (Music Choice) -
Music Choice, the leading multi-platform music network announces today that Hollywood Records' hip-pop sensation, Jeannie Ortega, will be featured on "Fresh Crops" in August on
Music Choice On-Demand.
Music Choice goes on location in Brooklyn, Ortega's hometown, to talk to Jeannie about the inspirations for her music and her experiences growing up in Brooklyn. In addition to the candid interview with one of today's hottest emerging artists, the show will also feature clips from the video for her single, "Crowded", which features rapper Papoose, a fellow Brooklyn-native.
"Fresh Crops", the twice-monthly music show only available on Music Choice On-Demand, will be accessible to MC viewers throughout the month of August to watch whenever, and however often, they like at no charge. Fresh Crops featuring Jeannie Ortega can also be viewed on the free Music Choice broadband music service throughout the month of August.
Just 19-years old, Jeannie Ortega, the Bushwick, Brooklyn-native, has experienced great success at an early age. After her first real recording "Got What It Takes" wound up on the soundtrack and in the movie Love Don't Cost A Thing, Jeannie inked a major recording deal with Hollywood Records and is now prepared to release her debut album August 1, aptly titled No Place Like Brooklyn. Eager to share her talent, Jeannie wrote 11 of the 12 songs on the album. "I just write about what I feel. A lot of people can relate to this stuff, not just people my age. I think we all go through similar situations. We feel like we don't know who we are. We fall in love, we fall out of love. Everybody goes through love," says Jeannie, who-despite her tender age-has a wealth of life experiences to share.
Ken Bunt, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Hollywood Records added, "Jeannie has a great self-empowering story to tell, and Music Choice is the perfect vehicle to get her music and her message out to her growing legions of fans."
"Jeannie Ortega is a perfect artist to be featured on "Fresh Crops" since she is one of today's fastest rising stars in the world of rhythmic-pop music," says Justin Prager, Director of Rock Programming for Music Choice. "The Music Choice philosophy for "Fresh Crops" is to introduce music fans to emerging artists to watch, and Jeannie Ortega is definitely one of those artists."
