Jena Walker

About Me

Do not be misguided by her big smile, blonde hair, and blue eyes. Jena Walker is a true southern woman who demands respect not only as a singer, but as a songwriter who has paid her dues.She is a native of Kilgore, Texas. Located about 90 miles east of Dallas, it is the kind of town where in the fall, Friday night football rules and country is not just a genre of music but the way of life. Growing up she was completely immersed into southern music by her mother, whose entire side of the family has musical talent, and father, who is responsible for furthering Jena's musical education with such artists as the Judds, The Oakridge Boys, and George Strait to name a few.Being raised in the country, Jena learned early on the value of hard work and how to do something right, it takes patience and persistence. Getting her start singing at rodeos in high school and later majoring in classical music at Stephen F. Austin State University, Jena's Texas roots run deep. The money to cut her debut album, "Unwound" came out of her own pocket after years of selling tomatoes out of the bed of her pick-up truck.'I don't have investors or a rich daddy to pay for everything. I've been saving up for a long time to make this happen" ssayas Walker.With her powerful voice and bold personality, Jena's lyrics explode with what Texas country music is known for, being served straight up and strong. Texas has provided more major talents in the country scene than any other state in the US. Add Jena walker's name to that long list. Jena's outlook on life is simply this: Dream big and don't let anyone or anything chain you down.Keep listening and thanks for your support!
