Newsday.com reports that Jesse Blaze Snider, son of TWISTED SISTER singer Dee, will face off against eight other children of famous musical talents in a new television series called "Rock the Cradle", premiering tonight (Thursday, April 3) on MTV.
The show, which originated with the British company FremantleMedia, was based on the simple question, "Is musical talent genetic?" said Tony DiSanto, executive vice president of series development and programming at MTV and MTV2.
The younger Snider already has a band, BAPTIZED BY FIRE, plus a successful voice-over career (he's done commercials for Cheetos and Burger King, among others) and a new sideline as a comic-book writer (he recently wrote an issue of "The Hulk"). The main point of the show, he says, is the exposure.
"I try to make the most commercial, accessible rock 'n' roll that I can, because I want everyone to understand and enjoy it," Snider said.
"What's the point of making music if people aren't going to hear it?"
"Rock the Cradle" cast: Landon Brown (son of Bobby Brown) Jesse Blaze Snider (son of Dee Snider) Crosby Loggins (son of Kenny Loggins) A'Keiba Burrell (daughter of MC Hammer) Lara Johnston (daughter of Tom Johnston) Chloe Lattanzi (daughter of Olivia Newton John) Lucy Walsh (daughter of Joe Walsh) Jesse Money (daughter of Eddie Money) Lil B. Sure (son of Al B. Sure)
