Teen Internet Community Habbo.com to Host Vocal Sensation Joanna For Interactive Visit August 3rd

Pop artist Joanna will chat about her debut album on Habbo.com.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 3, 2006 -- Pop artist Joanna will check into HABBO (www.habbo.com), one of the world’s largest and hottest on-line destinations for teenagers. She will be on hand to chat about her debut album, This Crazy Life, featuring her smashing first single, “Let It Slide.”

During the visit, Joanna – using her specially created Habbo character – will arrive at Habbo at 7pm EST, August 3rd for her interview, as well as to hang out with fans and answer questions about her music. The interview will be broadcast live over Habbo’s exclusive Internet Radio Stream, Bobba Music, hosted by DJ Jackie.

Joanna will touch you with This Crazy Life, an insightful collection of pop gems that showcases her incredible vocal ability. Whether soaring through independence anthems like the first single “Let It Slide,” bearing all on emotional ballads like “4th of July,” or even stirring soulful rock on Dashboard Confessional’s “Screaming Infidelities,” the main thing that knocks you out is Joanna’s powerful voice. She honed her multifaceted vocal instrument by touring with the 20th anniversary national tour of “Annie” as a child, then came to L.A. as a teen and was signed by Geffen Records. This saga of her life was chronicled by MTV’s True Life. Through these experiences, she fine-tuned her superb voice. “My voice can go from quiet and intimate to raspy to opening up huge,” she says. “I can sing any style you throw at me, and that’s bittersweet, because I needed to discover the style that was me.”
