1.) Juanita Stokes (aka Smooth and “The Female Mack”) is an American singer and actress. She is the daughter of actress Irene Stokes and younger sister of music executive Chris Stokes. Christened ‘Smooth’ because of her skillful raps and jazz-tinged, mezzo soprano, she is best known for her hits: “You Been Played,” “Mind Blowin’” and “Strawberries.” She has one child, and currently performs under the name Needa S.

Born in 1979, Juanita grew up with huge aspirations toward the entertainment business. As a child, she sang in the church choir and was influenced by Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald, as well as pioneering female rap artists such as Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah and MC Lyte. These varied influences subsequently resulted in Juanita’s later being a two-way artist, a slang for an artist who could rap equally as well as she could sing.

She was first known as MC Smooth, releasing an album produced by Chris Stokes called, “Smooth & Legit” in 1990. This album released two singles which did not do well on the charts. Attention was then given to Immature, which went on to be very successful. After having established the then pre-teen R&B trio Immature in the early 1990s — Chris, now a fledgling music executive, focused his attention producing Juanita’s second album under just Smooth .
