About Me


SOUL SWEET SEXY Jené is an exotic mix of Latina and Island Girl, and has entertained throughout the world in television,film,theater, and as a Soul/R&B vocalist. A gifted songwriter and TRIPLE THREAT SHOW WOMAN, she will always refer to herself as a HUSTLER, doing what she loves the most- living with passion in the heavenly city of NEW YORK. She was inspired and filled with soul before she could speak, intensely listening to her father's gorgeous voice as he blasted Disco and Motown records and sang along to Taste Of Honey,Johnny Mathis,The Commodores and The Drifters. This molded her voice into one of a soulful songstress,and as she grew older,she was classically trained-giving Jené her strength,versatilty and incredible musicianship. A true vocalist of poise and longevity, Jené holds with her a huge love and appreciation for the glorious and uninhibited sound of the CHURCH,and singing gospel is her first love. Performances on numerous music television shows include Smashbox Hits-Paris,National Lottery Show,Top Of The Pops-London, WDR Live-Germany, and MTV,Sondagsoppet-Sweden.Jené's solid sound is a blend of old school skill and smoothness,with new school energy - Her voice is RICH and FULL, her style combines a strong SOULFUL backbone,with sounds of R&B,gospel,hip hop and folk soul - her SWEET, WARM tone is compared to that of Deniece Williams,Stephanie Mills,and young Aretha. Jené is a powerful New York actress whose screen credits include JONNY ZERO, BOX GIRL, ONE LIFE TO LIVE,GUIDING LIGHT,THE L WORD,and she is happiest working and playing with the UNIVERSAL/NBC family,recurring in CONVICTION,LAW & ORDER,and LAW & ORDER:CRIMINAL INTENT.She has graced endless stages, starring in productions such as The Worldstage Premiere of FOOTLOOSE,and The European and North American Tours of FAME The Musical. Jené is also grateful to find time to sing with friend and rock and roll sensation,Lou Christie, and has LOVED time in the studio with the skilled and stunning Freddy Wexler. Sexy,passionate,hilarious and CAPTIVATING, Jené prides herself most on being a great FRIEND with amazing HEART who is passionate about being a NEW YORKER,cooking you fabulous meals, and playing guitar in her underwear! She writes with TRUTH and sings with LIFE. She lives to INSPIRE and help others realize and embrace the best in themselves. Her music reaches and relates to wide audiences and ages-in cities,suburbs, ghettos and the islands!
