Real name: Barbara Holmes

Effective period / Period of releases: 1972 - 2023

Barbara Stant launched her career at Norfolk, Virginia's own, Shiptown Records. Starting as one of the Idets (the labels own version of Motown's Adantes), Barbara found herself singing in sessions for a variety of artists. But her own talent didn’t go unrecognized, and Noah Biggs (Shiptown’s mogul), soon realized it was time to feature Barbara (who entered the company as Barbara Holmes) as a feature artist in her own rights.
