Wausau, Wisconsin born and raised, Jenna Marie is a Nashville independent country music artist, with small town roots, chasing the dreams and following the heart of that seven-year-old girl. Seamlessly blending the sounds of traditional, 90's, and contemporary country, she performs with softness, soul, and a little twang, mixed with the edgier, contemporary styles of today. With a heart and passion for country music, some of her first musical influences were Leann Rimes, Tim & Faith, Brooks & Dunn, Carrie Underwood, Sara Evans, Tammy Wynette, and Patsy Cline. Whether it was singing in church, musicals, tournaments, weddings, or shows, she started performing locally at age 7 and kept her eyes on the stars and her feet on the ground. She went on to receive her Bachelor’s in Business, keeping music in her heart, while supporting and balancing her career.
Prior to making the move to Nashville, she jumped feet first into the Minneapolis music scene performing open mics, and solo shows, while making frequent trips to Music City. Finishing her first recording project in 2014, she debuted with her first solo premiere in 2015. Competing in Midwest regional singing competitions, she placed first locally and moved on to become a regional finalist. Taking the leap to Nashville in 2016 continues to be the most dream fulfilling and heartwarming experience of her career. Getting the attention of independent music executives in Nashville, she was approached and offered an independent radio release deal for 2020 - The global pandemic had other plans for releasing music, and she continued pushing forward in Music City.
Jenna Marie performed locally as a featured country vocalist at Nashville's Union Station's 'Riffs on the Rails Series' as well as Music Row's Live Oak 'Country Artists in the Round'. She also has made appearances at Nashville historic staples such as Legends, Tootsies, and Alan Jackson's, among others. While being immersed within the Nashville music scene, she has had the opportunity to pursue passion for acting opportunities within the tv, commercial, & live event + promotion space. Cast as on-camera talent, she has worked with Lionsgate, ABC Network, Viacom, Red Mill Productions, Native 31 Films, and the Country Music Association. Featured roles have been within the Country Music Television (CMT)'s hit series Nashville as well as background talent for CMT Country Christmas, CMT Hot20Countdown, CMT Music Awards, CMA Music Awards, Brad Paisley's TV special, & music videos for emerging pop talent and Carrie Underwood. Recently making her CMA Fest debut as a Nashville Universe emerging artist at the 50th annual located within Music City Center, Jenna was able to meet and greet the next generation of country music, while appreciating the history & paved roads that created it. As a new member of BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.) & Global Songwriters Connection, she continues to hone in on the craft of songwriting, and hopes to inspire others in ways that country music does best - with true life experiences. Continuing to perform, co-write in Music City, and prepare for a future release, the best is definitely yet to come and on the horizon for our hometown girl.
