1980s
In the late 1980s Hornsby received local California business financial backing, and was able to record her original songs under her own record label CJP-NHRecords. Quickly thereafter, Hornsby marketed her music and label throughout Europe and the USA. She recorded under her record label in the 1980s and she incorporated CJP-NHRecords in the State of CA in 2008.
Hornsby's songs were released for airplay on commercial radio stations in the USA and Europe. In Mallorca, Spain, the "ACM Newsletter" as well as other print publications noted Hornsby’s song “One Way Ticket” as number one. During that same time “Hungry For Love”, Let Me Take You On A Dream” and “Hot Talkin’ Big Shot” were airplayed in Northern Europe.
In 1988, following Hornsby’s releases of “One Way Ticket”, “Hungry For Love”, “Let Me Take You On A Dream”, “Hot Talkin’ Big Shot”, and “Shoe String And A Prayer”, she was named Female Singer of the Year in Scandinavia. In 1989, “Shoe String And A Prayer” charted Top 5 in the IRC (independent) country singles, as well as in the Cash Box Top 100 USA National charts.
