Joss Stone

Joss Stone wowed the music world in 2003 as a sprightly 16-year-old British girl with a rich soulful R&B voice, which she rode to Grammy and BRIT Awards. Her early fame, showbiz squabbles and coming-of-age in the public eye made her British tabloid fodder in ensuing years, especially as she transformed herself from their soulful girl next-door to seemingly troubled, perpetually barefoot bad girl. In 2009, she signed on to Showtime's salacious hit show "The Tudors" (2007-2010), one of a long line of comely musical talents who tried to branch into acting. Regardless of her other pursuits, there was no doubt within music circles and the public at large that Stone was a rare talent who had only begun to tap her musical potential.
