Jazzmun
Biography
Jazzmun is the professional name of Jazzmun Nichala Crayton, an American actress and nightclub performer who has worked mostly around Los Angeles. Raised in San Diego, she first drew a national audience in 1984 on the talent show Puttin' on the Hits, where she lip synched a duet while dressed as both a man and a woman. She soon moved to Los Angeles, signed with an agent and performed around the world, on stage as her character Jazzmun, in a Whitney Houston impersonation for the revue La Cage, and in other guises. In the late 1990s she appeared in the play Ask Any Girl, and she performed in music videos for Gloria Estefan and RuPaul before releasing her own dance singles in 1997; another of her songs later turned up in Noah's Arc. Her screen credits include the film Hellbent and roles on The Wayans Bros., Roseanne and Desperate Housewives.
