J.K.

J.K.

Marta Simlat, known to her fans as J.K. is a former model turned Eurodance singer who enjoyed moderate success in the mid to late 90s. Marta moved from Poland to Italy in 1993 to pursue a modelling career; however shortly after her move she was spotted by Larry Pignagnoli and Davide Riva, the production team behind Whigfield. Marta was quickly signed to and her first single "You Make Me Feel Good" performed well in France, Italy and Germany and even topped the dance charts in Canada.

"You and I" followed which was featured on many dance compilation albums around the globe, including Muchmusic's "Dance Mix '95". A fourth single, "My Radio" took Europe by storm and also became popular in Japan.

Although J.K.'s last official single "Deep In The Night" was released in 1999, the Benassi Bros have done two covers of J.K. songs with vocalist Dhany in 2005 titled "Hit My Heart" followed by "Make Me Feel".Most singles where only released in Italy.

Vocals for J.K. were performed by Giovanna Bersola and Sandra Chambers. Lip-sync was performed on videos and live performances by Marta. It was proven Marta was lip-syncing when she forgot to turn her microphone off during the being of "My Radio (70's)" on Dance Machine 9 - where her real voice is revealed -- not the voice belonging to the songs!
