Joss Stone (born Jocelyn Eve Stoker;[1] 11 April 1987) is an English soul singer-songwriter and actress. Stone rose to fame in late 2003
with her multi-platinum debut album, The Soul Sessions, which made the 2004 Mercury Prize shortlist. Her second album, the equally
multiplatinum Mind Body & Soul, topped the UK Albums Chart for one week and spawned the top ten hit "You Had Me", Stone's most
successful single on the UK Singles Chart to date. Both album and single each received one nomination at the 2005 Grammy Awards,
while Stone herself was nominated for Best New Artist, and in an annual BBC poll of music critics, Sound of 2004[2] was ranked
fifth as a predicted breakthrough act of 2004.[2] She became the youngest British female singer to top the UK Albums Chart in
history to have her first album at number one. Stone's third album, Introducing Joss Stone, released in March 2007, achieved
gold record status by the RIAA and yielded the second-ever highest debut for a British female solo artist on the Billboard 200. Stone
released her fourth album, Colour Me Free!, on 20 October 2009, which did reach Top 10 on Billboard, but was her least selling album
in her career. Joss Stone possesses both contralto and mezzo-soprano vocal ranges.
