Daughter of Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship members Paul Kantner and Grace Slick. China first appeared as an infant on the sleeve of the Kantner/Slick 1971 solo LP "Sunfighter". In July 1986, she appeared as a guest VJ on MTV, which led to her making regular appearances for the next two years during her summer vacations. As an MTV VJ, she even had to interview her own father for the MTV "Summer of Love" 20th anniversary celebrations. She has also, over the years, made several contributions to the music of Jefferson Starship as both songwriter and singer. Despite this, she says that she has no real musical aspirations of her own, claiming that she cannot sing very well. She has also said that having well-known musicians for parents has actually lost her several parts, as directors automatically assume she is also musical. Hide
