Jody Marie Gnant 〔In Gnant's name, the "g" is not silent〕 is an American singer-songwriter and pianist. Born April 16, 1981, in Hartland, Wisconsin, she grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona. In addition to her musical career, Gnant also owns an art gallery in Phoenix, Arizona. ==Life and career== Jody Gnant first received attention when she co-composed and sang on the soundtrack to Cerise Casper's 1996 computer game, ''Treasure Quest'' starring Terry Farrell. Some of the songs were co-written by Grammy award-winning producer Richard Feldman. Gnant's tunes were instrumental during the game, and vocal excerpts appeared when certain objects were picked up. The full versions of the songs, though not the instrumentals, were included on a separate CD, ''Treasure Quest: The Soundtrack''. In the Phoenix area, she began performing her original, more personal work, which she labeled Bohemian Geek Soul, and moved to a newly renovated Phoenix arts district that was making the transition into a Bohemian artist community. On July 12, 2005, Kyle MacDonald began a blog called ''One red paperclip'' in which he offered to trade a red paperclip and eventually traded up for a new place to live. One item he was eventually traded was a recording contract. When Gnant heard about this, she hurriedly looked for something to trade and eventually was able to offer MacDonald a room in her home with free rent for a year in exchange for the contract. The result of this was her second album, called ''Pivot'', where she was supported by Adrian Goldenthal, Julian Goldenthal, Kris Hill, and Shea Marshall. Gnant was also able to meet numerous celebrities, including Alice Cooper and Corbin Bernsen. In a 2008 appearance on MTV's ''Made'', Gnant coached a tomboyish girl in vocal lessons so she could fulfill her dream of being a pageant queen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jody Marie Gnant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
