West coast singer/songwriter Jessica Stone founded her own record and publishing company, Maidenstone Records, shortly after graduating from the LA Music Academy. Her 2002 debut, Seven Letters, introduced audiences to Stone's signature blend of folk, pop and jazz, and garnered the tech-savvy, independent artist accolades from across the web. In 2004 Stone re-located to the Bay Area, where she joined the leadership and development team of internet radio service Pandora. She returned to the world of making independent music in 2009 with the release of Melting, again on Maidenstone. ~ James Christopher Monger
