Jenna from Girlicious.
San Diego born and raised but she currently resides with her mother in Thousand Oaks, CA. She grew up listening to her idols Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera and many other artists. Jenna spent hours in her room singing and dreaming of the day the stage would be her own. She joined the choir for four years to develop her harmony skills and entered every Talent competition and showcase that was available in her area. Jenna was a grand finalist in the Sea World Superstar competition as well as the Catch a Rising Start competition. She was also her cities official Miss Teen in 2004 and performed over 800 hours of community service. At times she was able to sing for community functions but when her city obligations were completed it was time to devote herself fully to her music again. Hearing a radio ad for a vocal academy in LA she responded. The director, Greg Himmelstein, had such faith in her talent that he extended her a scholarship to attend their highly recognized program. She was taught there by the amazing producer Ron Harris who worked with Christina Aguilera. Her other teacher is 2006 Grammy nominee Alex Cantrel who has worked with Fantasia, Nick Lachey and Jojo among many other successful artists. Realizing to make her dream a reality she needed to continue only surrounding herself with the best in the business. |Also, many ask Jenna’s nationality and the answer is German/Brazillian/Russian/Irish and a mix of many others which she believes helps her relate to many different types of people. Her sound is R&B-Pop with a Jojo/Christina Aguilera flavor.
Jenna moved from San Diego to Los Angeles in 2006 to pursue her singing/songwriting career and show everyone she means business. Jenna has done very well and have BIG PLANS for the future. So far I’ve been very fortunate with the strong support of my family and has met amazing people along the way. She attended the highly acclaimed Talent Bootcamp in Simi Valley run by infamous Producer Ron Harris and Ron Fair’s wife Stephanie Ridel. Jenna is also professionally trained with the BEST vocal coaches Los Angeles has to offer: Ron Anderson, Seth Riggs and Dave Stroud to name a few!! Her passion for singing and desire to succeed are her driving force as well as strong family support.
Jenna also studies dance at the well known Millennium Dance Complex as well as The Debbie Reynolds Studio. This beautiful upcoming artist with hypnotic eyes is no doubt amazing and the story has just begun for this vivacious youth making her mark in the music industry. Look out Hollywood because here she comes. |
