Emotion Brown (aka Camika Spencer) was born November 21, on the cusp of Scorpio/Saggitarius in Dallas, Texas. A graduate of South Hagerstown High School in Hagerstown, Maryland, Emotion spent extra time writing and listening to music. Tambourine came from her roots in the United Methodist church. After a decade long stint as a best-selling author and performance poet, Emotion stepped away and reunited with music by assisting friends and later forming her own sound lab, Emotion & the Cosmos. She joined JTNL in March of 2007 and never looked back.
