PROFILE: Jenna G a self confessed music fiend

Submitted by K.Snowman.Samuels on 1.33pm, Thu 2nd Jul 2009

Jenna G - a self confessed music fiend - has been a staple in the Urban Music scene from a young age. Having ventured into DJ'ing and presenting on one of Manchester’s premier pirate radio stations at the tender age of 14. It was here Jenna became inspired by underground sounds and hooked up with a group of MCs and DJs called Raggabeats Crew which spawned the hip hop group ‘Subliminal Darkness.’

After four years, Jenna left the group to pursue other styles and sounds. She began a residency at a night at DryBar, called Eardrum, and appeared at various live music nights around Manchester making her a name as a vocalist and MC. Singing with the bands at underground gigs introduced Jenna G to Darren and 2D, a drum & bass DJ and producer team called Future Cut, who were looking for a singer.

The drum & bass trio Un-Cut was formed in 2000. A track called Borderline appeared on a Future Cut EP for Renegade Hardware and the response to it was incredible. Un-Cut's debut white label – Midnight - sold out of its 10,000 copy run within weeks and drew a lot of attention from the music industry. In 2001 Un-Cut signed to EMI publishing and in June that year they signed to Warner's M Records. Their debut album came out in July 2003 with the re-release of its debut single Midnight.

After the band split, Jenna G continued singing and writing songs for EMI publishing which saw her working with So Solid's JD, Dannii Minogue and Aleesha Dixon amongst others. It was during this time in London that she was picked up by the BBC's black music radio station, 1Xtra.

Jenna first visited 1Xtra in the summer of 2003 with Un-Cut. She walked through the doors again in June 2004, not as an artist but as a DJ this time, broadcasting for a month on the Xtra Talent slot on Sunday nights/Monday mornings. 1Xtra was impressed by Jenna's presenting skills and put her together with Twin B, a Ministry Records A&R man and mixtape producer from East London. The pair clicked immediately and in August 2004 Twin B and Jenna G gained a Saturday afternoon slot (12noon-2.00pm), a music show which sees grimy East London meet the soul of the north-west.

In music Jenna is well known for her vocal and writing talents on a number of distinguished underground tracks in a number of genres but more prolifically in Drum n Bass, the genre of her own highly successful first solo album ‘For Lost Friends’ released on the Bingo Beats record label March 2006. Tracks from the album were produced by a variety of prominent drum and bass producers such as Nu:tone, Kabuki, Friction, D Bridge, D KAY, and TC1.

Having gained a solo spot on the BBC's 1Xtra in 2006, Jenna spent 2 years every weekend morning bringing you a jam-packed show of the best in black music, entertainment and a live listener generated request show. Guests on her film feature “Lights Camera Action” have included Beyonce, Quentin Tarantino, Josh Hartnett, Common, Paul Giamatti, Simon Pegg and Eli Roth to name a few. Her exploits in the press pits at premieres have caught the attention of Hugh Grant, Tenacious D, Drew Barrymore, Daniel Radcliffe, Sienna Miller, Michelle Pfeiffer and so many more!

Jenna G is currently the official vocalist for The Shapeshifters having appeared on their first album as songwriter and backing vocalist. The new album ‘Do Not Disturb’ which features her songwriting and vocal talents is set for release in 2009 on new label Defected and has already spawned 2 releases 'Pusher' & 'New Day'.

Not content with a nationally syndicated radio show and the few top forty hits under her belt, Jenna is again back in the studio working on her second solo album as well as touring the world as one of the prominent Drum and Base MC Acts.

Perhaps Rihanna is known to be the kind of rock-chic lady for most people, but it doesn't keep her from carrying sophisticated and elegant Replica Handbags and Fake Handbags. Just like other bags from Louis Vuitton and Louis Vuitton Handbags line, Valentino Handbags and Gucci Wallets are also done from nylon material. You know that such would be very functional and versatile, and coming in black all the more makes this an all-around carryall. Treat yourself with Yves Saint Laurent handbags and Versace Handbags to wear like a super star. Pretty much Fendi Handbags and Prada Wallets has a reasonable price in our wholesale. I feel good when I wore Bottega Veneta Wallets and Marc Jacobs Wallets. I did not want something soft like skin under a piece of paper, then Designer Hermes Wallets and Hermes Handbags has a genuine leather Lambskin, subtle but powerful. The wholesale Dior Handbags, Cartier Handbags and D&G Handbags, we have all sorts of questions about this Small Chain Shoulder Bag. Bright colors come together to produce a wonderful Burberry Wallets and Mulberry Handbags. I am in love with Alexander Wang Handbags and Mont Blanc Wallet
