In 2008, Chris Smith introduced Jenna Andrews to The Island Def Jam Music Group executives like L.A. Reid. Her on-the-spot performance garnered her a deal within 24 hours.[7]

Music career

Jenna's debut single, “Tumblin Down” was co-written by Def Jam Recordings artist and label mate, Jeremih ("Birthday Sex", "My Ride").[8] It charted on Billboard charts Urban AC[9] and the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.[10] It was featured on the popular Television show, Grey's Anatomy.[11] The release brought attention to Jenna Andrews, landing her a feature in Vogue Italia “Visions on Stage” column in September 2011.

"Kiss and Run" was the first single off her latest EP of the same name.

May 2013 Jenna Andrews premiered a six song mixtape entitled, "The SexTape Mixtape" exclusively for Rap-Up.com.[17] It features remixes of songs from Jeremih, The-Dream, and Usher.[18][19]

Jenna opened for UK artist, Emeli Sandé on four dates of her US tour along with Emily King.[20][21] Andrews has also toured with acts including Nelly Furtado,[22] En Vogue,[23] Shawn Desman[24] and Kevin Bacon’s Band, “The Bacon Brothers”.[25] She opened for Nelly Furtado's "The Spirit Indestructible" CD release party at the Highline Ballroom in New York City,[26] alongside Dylan Murray. Jenna has also shared the stage with Marsha Ambrosius and Miguel on the 2011 Black Entertainment Television (BET) Music Matters Tour.[27]

In 2014 and 2015, Andrews has spent time in the studio working with writers and artists such as The Band Perry (co-writing on their forthcoming album), Redlight (musician) (featured on "Repetition" off the 2015 album X Colour), Diplo, DJ Mustard, Jennifer Lopez, Lily Allen, Banks (singer), Cashmere Cat, Majid Jordan,[28][29] Marsha Ambrosius,[30] Jessie J, including vocal production on her track “Personal”, off the Sweet Talker (Jessie J album).[31]
