Joan Jett is an originator, an
innovator, and a visionary. As the leader of the hard-rocking Blackhearts, with
whom she has become a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, she's had eight
platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including the classics
"Bad Reputation," "I Love Rock 'N' Roll," "I Hate
Myself For Loving You," and "Crimson and Clover." She sits at
the head of her own independent label, Blackheart Records. Jett has acted in
movies and television, including 1987's Light Of Day, and in a Tony-nominated
Broadway musical, The Rocky Horror Show. She has appeared on such acclaimed
television shows as Oprah (the last season) and Law and Order.
As a producer, she has
overseen albums by Bikini Kill, Circus Lupus, as well as the Germs' LA punk
masterpiece, GI.
Her music has become a
permanent force in mainstream culture. A version of "I Hate Myself for
Loving You" has been NBC's Sunday Night Football, performed this past
season by Carrie Underwood, and her music is heard in countless films and TV
shows including Easy - A, Kick Ass, The Runaways, Shrek, Baby Mama, and many
more.
Since co-founding the
Runaways, the pioneering all-girl punk quintet, at age 15, Jett's determination
and drive have kept her in the public eye. Jett was able to see her story told
in The Runaways, the film based on (lead singer of The Runaways) Cherie
Currie's book Neon Angel starring Kristen Stewart as Jett, and her fellow A-lister Dakota Fanning as Currie. Jett was close to the project: She served as
an executive producer.
Jett and the Blackhearts released
their latest record, 'Unvarnished,' in 2013 and continue touring the globe to
throngs of adoring fans.
Joan Jett has spent her
lifetime breaking barriers and challenging expectations - this is, after all, a
woman who is both a spokesperson for PETA and a devoted supporter of the US
Military. She's fought hard for all of her historic accomplishments, yet she
remains humble and appreciative.
"I've had a blessed
career," she says. "I consider myself so lucky to have been able to
do things my own way."
