"The transgender aspect is me, that’s what I am. I don’t cover it up. I’m totally up front with it.
And, of course, it’s going to be a big influence on my music.
What happens to me personally makes its way into my music.
I have a very offbeat or suspicious attitude towards traditional society in general and to me that makes good rock & roll."
Jayne County

Jayne was born on the13th July 1947 and grew up in Dallas, Georgia. She started with makeup and feminine clothes while still in his teens, in the mid-'60s.

Moving to New York City, Jayne established a niche on the hippie edge of the gay community--in the summer of 1969 Jayne both rioted at the Stonewall and went to Woodstock. While working menial day jobs, she was soon sharing an apartment with Andy Warhol superstars Jackie Curtis and Holly Woodlawn who had a great influence on her. Jayne acted in stage productions like the Warhol's Pork and DJ'ed at Max's Kansas City on Park Avenue South , where she began performing with a rock band Queen Elizabeth, in 1972.

"New York in the seventies was unbelievable, That doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of great bands around now – there are. But the Max’s period was a very special time. You have Paris in the twenties, Berlin in the thirties, London in the sixties and New York in the seventies. We haven’t duplicated it yet. Maybe one day we will." . . . Jayne County
"Max's Kansas City was the exact spot where Pop Art and Pop Life came together in the sixties.". . . Andy Warhol
