New Music: Miss J
Miss J is not just breaking boundaries, she is redefining them. What began as a journey through the soul of classic rock and the vibrant traditions of mariachi has transformed into something bold, electrifying, and entirely her own: #ROCKHOUSE.
A born performer and lifelong theatre kid, Jacqueline Real, professionally known as Miss J, grew up immersed in the arts. A native New Yorker, she discovered her love for the stage at a young age and first entered the entertainment world working behind the scenes on TV commercial sets. Music, however, remained her first love. Drawn to the energy and freedom of music festivals, she found herself deeply inspired by the raw, creative spirit of the house music community.
Another key pillar of her artistry is her connection to classic rock. Still pulled toward the stage, Miss J began performing across New York City, delivering gritty rock standards and intimate covers that showcased her powerful vocal presence and magnetic performance style.
Determined to merge her two musical worlds, Miss J began fusing her rock roots with hypnotic house rhythms and touches of EDM. The result is a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. ROCKHOUSE is not just an album — it is a movement. It is the collision of electric guitars and thumping basslines. It is an anthem for anyone who has headbanged to a Zeppelin riff and then lost themselves in a dancefloor drop on the same night.

Her new single, “22424,” explores the transformation that occurs when heartbreak and disillusionment ultimately lead to self love and healing. As a songwriter, Miss J is gaining national recognition, recently earning a nomination for the Josie Awards in the Songwriter of the Year category. It is clear she is stepping into her moment.
“Why keep genres in their own lanes when they hit harder together?” Miss J asks. ROCKHOUSE also marks a major milestone as she releases the project independently under her own label, Electric Legacy Music, distributed through Sony Orchard — the same distributor behind superstar artists including Bad Bunny, Nas, Jack White, Kelsea Ballerini, and 21 Savage.
Her live show, The Miss J Experience, continues this genre-blending mission, creating infectious, intergenerational music designed to stand the test of time.
ABOUT MISS J:
Jacqueline Real (Miss J) is a dynamic songwriter and artist from Long Island, New York. Her musical foundation was shaped by classic rock icons like Cream, The Doobie Brothers, and The Doors, heard blasting from her father’s boombox. Her sound later expanded through her sister’s love of Sublime and 311, along with her own lifelong obsessions with Jim Morrison, Michael Jackson, Aaliyah, and disco.
Miss J’s artistic rise was sparked by her discovery of the festival scene, inspiring her to blend genres seamlessly, from deep house to hard rock. A former spoken word poet, her personal journey with mental health and imposter syndrome ultimately fueled her evolution as a songwriter.
With nearly 15 years in the entertainment industry as an actress and short film producer, she has collaborated with respected music creatives including Femke, David Ray Stevens, John Maxwell Hefley, Kareem Thompson, Danny Gold, and Peter Kooper. Her signature fusion of rock, house, and genre-bending production sets her apart as a uniquely versatile artist.
Her new album, #ROCKHOUSE, invites listeners into a vibrant, high-energy musical world. From rock to pop, funk, and house, Miss J delivers a lively sonic experience where everyone is welcome.
