Prima J is an American pop musical duo from Rosemead, California that is composed of Mexican American cousins Janelle Martinez and Jessica Martinez. They made their debut in 2007 with the single "Rockstar" for the Bratz Motion Picture Soundtrack. They were discovered by former Wild Orchid member Stefanie Ridel.^[1] They have recently completed the recording of their debut album, which will be released June 17, 2008. Prima J also makes a brief appearance in Bratz, auditioning for the school talent show, and three of the stars of Bratz, Logan Browning, Janel Parrish, and Nathalia Ramos, appear in the Rockstar music video. In the Bratz, they also sang the brief lyrics of "Take It To The Maximum" when Logan Browning had done her cheerleading, "It's My Party" lyrics when Logan Browning was doing the geeky girl lipgloss and gave the geeky girl her necklace in the chapter of the "operation mingle" that Nathalia Ramos had decided on at the lunch courtyard table, and "Kick It" during their audition for the school talent show. The group's name comes from the fact they are cousins (prima is Spanish for cousin) whose names begin with the letter J.

Prior to "Rockstar", they performed the song "Gotta Lotta" for the Disney Channel original movie, Jump In!, which was released on the film's soundtrack. The single "Rockstar" was also featured in the Gossip Girl episode, "Dare Devil".

They recently made a cover of Alicia Keys' song "No One" and translated half of the lyrics into Spanish, and turned the title into "Nadie". Their self-titled debut album, is scheduled to be released June 17, 2008, according to All Music Guide^[2]. The album was leaked online June 12th, 2008.

The band was featured on the cover in the June and July 2008 issue of Latina Magazine.
