Jean Baylor has embarked on a musical journey that is a testament to her faith, artistry and lifestyle. Baylor has solidified herself as an independent force to take note of wearing many hats as a wife, businesswoman, producer, writer and vocalist.
Jean, a ‘Jersey Girl’ came to prominence as one-half of Motown’s R&B sensation “Zhane'” in the early ’90s. Hit songs that topped the charts combined with a fresh, natural look created a cultural revolution for women within African American communities.

In the fall of 2000, music brought drummer and producer, Marcus Baylor (Cassandra Wilson and Grammy Award winning Yellowjackets) and Jean together as they quickly discovered their greatest common interest as a writing and production team, The Baylors.
Their first collaborative effort resulted in Jean’s first solo CD “Testimony: my life story.” This project exampled not only their collective creativity but it was released on and coincided with the launch of their independently owned imprint, “Be A Light” in 2007. The pair introduced their production initiative as The Baylors in 2011, completing Jean’s second solo CD “Light Up The World,” released Thanksgiving Day, also on Be A Light.
With a collection of luxuriant and feel-good inspirational songs — relatable to life’s ups, downs and changing discourse — Baylor has dedicated her gift to touching the lives of others. Her honest approach to song is lithe and caressing providing a sea of meditative freedom.
Baylor exclaims, “My hope is that these songs will encourage the spirit of giving, love and sincere regard for others.”
