JenRO
was born and raised around the Bay, California. The destined star grew up
around music her entire life. Her father was a disco DJ and her sister a
music composer.
JenRO's first time rapping on stage was at the age of 10 years old. While
at a summer camp, she rapped about raccoons on her bunk bed and how she
hated her cabin leader. She was pulled off stage for not following her
summer camp's criteria that consisted of a forest scene skit. However,
JenRO did not let this stop her from her early dreams of being a female
mc.
While eleven years old, drug dealers and gang
members crowded the corner of her Vallejo home and gave JenRO her first
four bar song to write as she walked home from school. After moving back
to South San Francisco, she was arrested her first week of Middle school
for writing on the walls at school.
She recorded her first song herself on a tape
recorder at the age of 13. As a leader, she was also the only female
drummer for the Jazz Band all throughout middle school and high school.
As JenRO was getting older she was always told
girls should never rap. At 15 years old, JenRO would battle against the
older teenage boys in her neighborhood and prove everyone wrong. She
became the only female rapper on stage during the lunchtime performances
and talent shows in high school. Outside of high school, JenRO competed
and won several poetry slams across the Bay. She would get asked to
perform at hip hop shows and local street fairs. At the age of 17, JenRO
starred in a short documentary called Rebel Girls based on one of
her raps. This film played in theaters across California. At 19, JenRO was
already establishing her name by performing at major city events such as
East Bay Pride, SF Pride, and Carnaval. She has performed at San
Quentin State Penitentiary twice this year and has also recently expanded
to doing international shows from the Philippines to Mexico. Most recently
she opened up for Jesse McCartney, Nina Sky, Tre Scott (formerly of
O-Town), Ashley Poole (formerly of DREAM), Myra (Theme Song for
"Princess Diaries") and many others, JenRO's striking words have
gotten her published in world wide books such as, "What It Took for
Me to Get Here" and "Paint Me like I Am". She has also been
featured in the "San Francisco Chronicle", "Padrisimo
Magazine", "Bay Times", "Source Magazine",
"Time Out New York" and "Portland Tribune". This past
December JenRO also made an appearance on VH1's "My Coolest
Years".
This talented bilingual star has already worked
with artists such as Spice 1, Young Noble (Tupac's Outlawz), Goldie Loc
(Snoop's Eastsidaz), Conscious Daughters and Mr. Kee to name a few. Most
recently she recorded a single for her upcoming album with Alexandra
Bachelier, a top 30 finalist from the first season of American Idol. She
is currently finishing up her debut solo project titled "The
Revelation" which is being put out by Mastered Trax Entertainment
this June. The single "Hottie, Hottie" will be arriving at a
radio station near you real soon so please be sure to request that when
