JAYNA JENNINGS - ‪@jayna__jennings‬
Only 2% of the population are redheads and Jayna Jennings, five time Josie Music award winner, makes music as unique as her fiery hair. Jayna pulls you into her world with her emotive songwriting, a craft she has been honing for the past 11 years. Her newest album, Southern Gothic Romance, showcases her most vibrant storytelling yet, cementing herself as a rooted songwriter and a force to be reckoned with in country/Folk.
Southern Gothic Romance was the first single from this new project and Jayna was able to release her first music video for it. The album is a visual album, so every song will be released with compatible videos and poems alike. She had her first glimpse at international recognition, when all eight songs from her first album received world-wide radio airplay. She has earned several nominations for prestigious awards, and has received the honor of Folk/Americana Vocalist of the Year at the Josie Music Awards four years in a row. This year she was nominated in six categories and received two awards: Folk/Americana Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year Folk/Americana for her release "10:43". The Josie Music Awards is the world's largest independent awards show, and is held annually at the Grand Ole Opry house in Nashville, TN.
