Jamelia is one of Britain’s most successful black female entertainers. Her career has spanned over ten years after being signed straight out of school at 15 to one of the biggest major record companies in the world.

In 2004, she had three top 5 hits from her last album “Thank You” – the seminal “Superstar” (no 3), “Thank You” ( no 2) and her co-write with Chris Martin, “See It In A Boy’s Eyes”, which reached No 5. Incredibly, Jamelia then stormed the top 10 again with “Stop”, her theme for the second Bridget Jones film.

At this point she was unstoppable, one of the most successful solo artists in the country. Her UK success was emulated in Europe where she was a continual serious chart presence, and in Australia and New Zealand where she reached No 1.

This triumphant period in Jamelia’s career also saw her sweep the board at the MOBO awards, where she won all of her three nominated awards, including “Best UK Act”. A week later no less a figure than Bono was genuflecting to her at the Q awards, where she won “Best Single” for ‘See It In A Boy’s Eyes’. Coupled with words of high praise at the same event from Elton John, you could have been forgiven for thinking things couldn’t get much better. But a week later Jamelia was signed by the prestigious modelling agency ICM and swiftly got her first contract as the face/legs of Pretty Polly and also a high profile contract with Reebok.

More recently Jamelia has earned the coveted role of appearing along side two of the world biggest supermodels fronting her own ethnic haircare range ‘Model Me’ stocked nationwide in Boots stores – and will this year be launching her autobiography following her turbulent childhood, abuse relationships and family controversy, which in spite of has led to her rise to fame.

Creatively Jamelia has been focussing on developing her acting skills and is choosing her next role carefully in advance of her debut performance and is currently in the studio this time developing her writing and production skills in the hope to give unknown artists the benefit of her experience.

Amidio and DanceMusicHub.com are proud to announce Touch DJ, a new professional DJ software package available for iPhone and iPod touch users. Touch DJ was launched in the app store on 18/11/09 and is already being touted as a package that will revolutionise the way a deejay mixes. Touch DJ is the result of a partnership between Russian development company Amidio and Australia’s DanceMusicHub.com.

Touch DJ is the first full-featured DJ MP3 application on the iPhone platform. Touch DJ offers real-time independent manipulation of two MP3 files. By manipulating the graphic display of the track waveforms next to each other allows the user to mix visually. Scratching, looping, positioning, equalization, effects and pitching is made easy with the futuristic, user-friendly interface. These features, combined with Touch DJ’s highly advanced zero-latency sound engine deliver results comparable to that of professional DJ hardware worth over $1000!

Replacing headphones with technology that enables the visual cueing of tracks means the audio output on the iPhone and iPod Touch can be used to plug into sound systems. This means Touch DJ is arguably the world’s most portable DJ console and music library. And for traditional DJ’s who prefer cueing with headphones, simultaneous mixing and sound amplification can be achieved with the use of a splitting adapter.

As a bonus, Touch DJ is shipped with 25 new release dance tracks so it can be used immediately after download. DanceMusicHub added an international flavour to the app by licensing tracks from a variety of emerging labels from across the globe. Labels including MUM (UK), Discotheque Records (Brazil), Savant Garde (USA), Denim (Australia), MN2S (UK), Be Yourself (NL), Berwick St (UK), Tornato (Australia), Velcro (Australia) have conveniently provided tracks from artists such as Marco V, Sandy Riviera, Darren Mase and Timo Garcia, To encourage sharing of skills and technique at a central location, there’s a community website at www.dancemusichub.com where users can upload there mixes as well as comment on others. Comments from customers include: “1 of the Best apps on ITunes”, “I would have spent more $”, “A must have for any DJ”, “Awesome in every way”, “Buy it”.

Touch DJ is a technological breakthrough and is pushing the limits of the hardware technology on which it is used.

Touch DJ is available at the AppStore worldwide for USD $19.99
