About Me


This page is dedicated to Jeanie's original material and her debut album - The Magical Mirror - which, is scheduled for completion in December 2008. It is a reflection of her experience of life thus far; observations of those close to her - family, friends, lovers and nemeses. A mix of sexy Latin grooves with some bebop vocalese and ballads - it is nostalgic yet fresh. She owes much of her outlook to her loving parents, who were sadly seperated by her father Elson's death in September 2004.
The album is being made with the production support of Shane MacGowan (The Pogues) who endorses, "It's GREAT!! It's catchy as Hell!!!"
