New York based singer-songwriter Joanna Mosca continues her unstoppable rise on the pop/AC music scene this year with her uplifting anthem “Keep On Going” reaching the Top 30 on both the R&R A/C New & Active chart and the Mediabase AC chart. The title track from her debut album puts her in good company with the likes of Ke$ha, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Pink and Lady Gaga.
Mosca also continues to be just one of two independent label artists in the Top 30 of the chart, the other being former American Idol finalist Brooke White.
To celebrate the success of “Keep on Going,” her indie label Dolce Diva Music launched an iPad giveaway for Mosca’s fans and recently announced Shakeia Rioux from La Habra, Calif., as the lucky winner.
Mosca recently received an endorsement with the major audio corporation, Sennheiser USA. With her recent explosion into the world of adult contemporary music, Joanna is now backed by this powerful Connecticut-based company, known for their high-end microphones. Sennheiser is also affiliated with noteworthy organizations such as the House of Blues and The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tenn.
Mosca is currently preparing to hit the road in August to promote Keep On Going. Dates and cities are to be announced.

TO PERFORM WITH RECORDING ARTIST
MICHAEL FREDO
AT THE PLAZA HOTEL IN NEW YORK CITY
ON MAY 19
New York based recording artist Joanna Mosca, who has been taking country airwaves by storm with the title track from her recently released debut album Keep On Going, will join fellow recording artist Michael Fredo for “Jazz and Cocktails” on May 19 at the world renowned Plaza Hotel in New York City. Joanna will join Michael on stage for a special performance of “Where Does Good Love Go,” a duet they recorded for Joanna’s album. Admission begins at 8:30 p.m. and the show at 10 p.m.
Joanna recently wrapped-up a tour of country radio stations in support of “Keep On Going” and received raved remarks from the DJ’s and Program Directors.
Rick Wesley of WKDO in Liberty, Ky., said, “Joanna has great potential and talent. She has a very distinctive voice. I hope to hear more from her in the future,” while Kip Jervis and Cathy Hall of WEZJ in Williamsburg, Ky., thought “Joanna was great! One of our best live interviews ever! She was real down-home and friendly. A very lively gal! Just what our listeners love!”
Barry O’Neill of the Voice Of Country in Nashville, Tenn., stated, “Joanna has a powerful and sassy voice that carries the subject matter of her songs well. I think she would be well suited among the artists performing in Europe and the UK.”
Produced by Jay Levine (who helmed nine of the album’s ten tracks), the autobiographical song “Keep On Going” serves as a mantra for her life even as it inspires people to think beyond their circumstances, during these difficult times.
Joanna, who was honored by Music Connection magazine as one of the Hot 100 Unsigned Artists of 2009, collaborated on two songs with Jeremy Spillman, who has penned tracks for country superstars Trace Adkins, Trisha Yearwood and Josh Turner, and earned an Oscar nomination for co-writing “I Will Never Let You Go” with Gustavo Santaolalla for the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack.

NEW YORK BASED SINGER-SONGWRITER
JOANNA MOSCA
CONTINUES HER SUCCESS IN COUNTRY RADIO
WITH HER BUZZING FMQB HIT ‘KEEP ON GOING’
The Emerging Country Songstress Is Back On The Road
For Her Ongoing Radio Tour Starting March 15
Making Stops In Tennessee, Kentucky And Virginia
After Joanna Mosca’s recent explosion onto the indie-pop and adult contemporary scene, the New York based singer-songwriter is taking country radio airwaves by storm with her new single “Keep On Going.” The inspirational, anthem-like hit, which is also the title track to her debut album, peaked at #6 on FMQB’s AC40 chart.
To coincide with her country debut, Joanna will journey down South to Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia for round three of her ongoing radio tour for multiple live on-air performances and radio interviews with top DJs.
This third leg of the tour follows two previous successful week-long stints earlier this year, which took her through cities in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Missouri and Arkansas. Fans can now follow Joanna’s tour on her new blog (joannamosca.blogspot.com) and view a video montage from her first run of the radio tour.
Joanna’s infectious voice– and instantly likable personality that makes a person feel like they’ve known her for years– not only captured fans, but interviewers as well.
Tim Shambley of WCRL in Oneonta, AL commented, “I was really, really pleased with Joanna’s visit … Her single jumps out at you because, first, you can understand the words! But it’s also a meaningful, sincere song with purpose and a great message.”
Kenny Dean of WAXC’s Barnyard Jamboree in Alexander City, AL, praised Joanna after his interview with the country-pop diva in February saying, “Such a pleasure! Joanna’s attitude and her laugh reminded me of Jo Dee Messina but she certainly has her own style- and sings with such soul!”

AFTER STARRING IN THREE ACCLAIMED
ONE-WOMAN SHOWS IN NYC, THE MULTI-FACETED
SINGER-SONGWRITER DECIDES TO ‘KEEP ON GOING’
AS SHE PURSUES HER DREAM OF POP STARDOM
“Keep On Going,” Joanna’s Empowering First Single And Title
Track >From Her Full Length Pop-Rock-Country Driven Debut Album,
Recently Hit #6 On FMQB’S AC40 Chart—A Familiar Place
For The Singer, Who Scored Two Top Ten AC Airplay Hits in 2007-2008
Joanna Mosca’s exciting emergence onto the indie pop and adult contemporary scene this year is living proof that while great musical talents can cast their true passion aside for a time, outrunning their destiny is quite another matter.
Making an empowering inspirational statement on the importance of pursuing our dreams, the New York based singer-songwriter recently hit #6 on FMQB’s AC40 chart with “Keep On Going,” the infectious pop country debut single and title track from her full length debut album. Joanna was also honored by Music Connection magazine, as one of the Hot 100 Unsigned Artists & Bands of 2009 (December 2009 issue).
Produced by Jay Levine (who helmed nine of the album’s ten tracks), the autobiographical song could be a mantra for her life even as it inspires people to think beyond their circumstances during these difficult times.
As 2010 unfolds, Joanna will be bringing her uplifting message to the people directly with a radio tour in January and February throughout the U.S.
The multi-talented performer, singer and songwriter, who captured fans of adult contemporary music in 2007-2008 with two Top Ten FMQB AC40 hits, “Not Enough” and a dynamic re-imagining of The Spinners’ “I’ll Be Around,” boasts a story that rings true for anyone who ever chose the safe, practical route over their heart’s longings.
Like everything else, Joanna embraced her detours wholeheartedly and with no regrets. She fell in love and became a wife, a devoted mom and, after earning her Master’s in hospital administration, became very successful in that field. Looking back, she could scarcely have realized that one day she would have the chance to fly to Nashville to work on her songs with writers who have penned hits for artists like Martina McBride and Rascal Flatts. While working on her debut album this past year, she has also collaborated with Grammy Award winning producers Tyrone Corbett and Robert Donzella, who have collectively worked with several American Idol artists signed to J Records and Wyclef Jean’s label.
Digging even deeper into the endlessly rich and clever Nashville songwriting well, Joanna also collaborated on two of the album’s key tracks, the heartfelt tribute to her dad “He Sang To Me” and heartbreaking ballad “What People Forget,” with Jeremy Spillman, who has penned tracks for country superstars Trace Adkins, Trisha Yearwood and Josh Turner, and earned an Oscar nomination for co-writing “I Will Never Let You Go” with Gustavo Santaolalla for Brokeback Mountain. “He Sang To Me” includes a snippet of an amateur recording Joanna’s father made in a booth on his honeymoon with her mom in Atlantic City, circa 1948. Keep On Going also includes “Learn To Swim,” a track penned by renowned country writer Troy Verges (Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood).
Within two years of quitting her day job and moving to Manhattan to pursue her music career, Joanna created a one woman show at Don’t Tell Mama, a renowned club in the theatre district on restaurant row in Manhattan. ‘My Life in Crime’ (the name of the show) was an autobiographical account of her crazy antics growing up. This was the first of three highly acclaimed one-woman shows Joanna performed in from 1997-2003. The others were “Well-Healed,” fashioned as a homage to her medical career, and the slightly less autobiographical “Home And Away.”
Most artists wait till they’re rich and famous before giving back and contributing to charitable causes; Joanna has made this a lifestyle for a number of years. Volunteering as a tutor and mentor for many years, she worked with a local student in Stamford, Connecticut all through her schooling as part of the “I Have A Dream” program, which provides college tuition and support to low income children that complete the program and graduate from high school.
Joanna has also worked as a volunteer for many years for “Puppies Behind Bars,” an organization that allows prison inmates to train future guide dogs for the disabled. In addition, she and her husband have sponsored children from third world countries through “Plan USA”; they are currently sponsoring boys from Egypt and South America. Joanna is also active in “The Hunger Project” (THP) and “Guiding Eyes For The Blind.”
“My passion for helping people and contributing to the quality of their lives ties in perfectly with my love for singing and performing,” she says. “Writing is always an interesting process, but nothing tops being onstage, connecting emotionally with the audience. I’ve noticed that a lot of great singers sing with their eyes closed, which to me cuts off that personal connection that I think is the most exhilarating and important aspect of being an artist. After spending so many months in the studio working on Keep On Going, I’m especially excited about sharing my songs with live audiences again!”
