There are few female artistes more aware of their responsibilities to be an agent for social change than Jannett Scott aka Lady Luscious.

“My major concern is to provide more opportunities for youth, and to show them there are other avenues they can pursue in their lives,” she said. Lady Luscious is the President of JAAMM Idol Talent Competition which is held in memory of her daughter Aleisha Ashley and best friend Monique Mcknight, who died tragically several years ago.
Despite her own personal tragedies, she feels obligated to uplift young women in Jamaica, and she uses her musical abilities to convey a message of peace and personal empowerment. She is also using the upcoming pageant to promote her latest single.
“I am really looking forward to the event, I will also be performing my latest single Thank God For Blessing Me. I will also be shooting a video for this song ,” she said.
