ABOUT THE ARTIST:
In 2013 Jenna began writing her own songs and released her debut offering ‘It Reminds Me Of You’ to her official YouTube channel allowing for her musical creations to reach a wider audience. The poignant song was inspired by Jenna losing both her best friend and granddad. That single acted as a catalyst for Jenna Kearns very first EP project which was written and recorded alongside her studies where she was working towards a degree in performing arts. The project ‘Time Has Passed’ dropped in July 2016.
The growth of the EP has continued to grow and in 2019 the title-track was used on the reality TV show Dance Moms, a huge achievement for an artist still very much in the early days of being an artist.
Since then, Jenna Kearns has been pushing herself to continue creating and the result of that hard work comes in the form of brand new single ‘Draw The Line’. Having worked with a number of close producer and songwriter friends this track has a deep personal theme running through its core and is the best release yet from Jenna as she continues to push her promising career forward.
