Jody Watley is a Grammy-winning, multi-platinum artist, songwriter, producer, and style icon. With 6 Billboard Top 10 Hot 100 hits, 13 No. 1 Dance singles, and a genre-spanning catalog—from R&B, Pop, and Hip Hop to Jazz, Electronic, and House—Watley is listed among Billboard’s Top 60 Female Artists of All Time.

A visionary and trailblazer, she set the blueprint for the independent artist movement by launching her own label, Avitone, in 1995—decades before it became a trend. Her solo career continues to thrive with critically acclaimed and chart-topping releases.

In celebration of 30 years of Avitone, Watley released “LET’S DANCE Vol. 1 (Hit Them Beats)”—a sizzling mix of new indie dance gems, remastered club classics, and Avitone fan favorites. The album hit #1 on the iTunes U.S. Top Dance Albums and #1 on Amazon UK’s Hot Dance/Electronic chart.

A Legacy of Sound. A Vibe That Endures.
