The Music Business will always have a
place for its records and new artists in Nashville but its pulse is in the
jam-packed arenas, concert halls, CD players and
countless radio stations across America and Canada. This comes as no
surprise to Jenny Tate, who has spent the past few years preparing for her
debut. She has followed the usual route of playing writer's nights,
publishing and recording
her songs and has been building quite a fan base. Her Myspace page is
new and her fan/friend count is growing by leaps
and bounds. Confident interest is sparking for her versatile and radio
friendly sound.
Jenny Grew up on the island of Grand Manan in New Brunswick Canada, and
then spent 10 years in Ottawa,
Ontario before moving to Nashville in January of 1999. She left her family
in Canada and ventured off with
little money but richer than ever in spirit. She says it's the scariest,
craziest, most wonderful thing she ever did. Moving to Nashville really
put her career into
perspective and now that she knows what she's up against she is that much
more determined to fulfill her dreams.
This Canadian singer was born into a family of the musically inclined.
She has been singing since she was old enough to walk and knew from the
time she was six that
she wanted to be a singer. Since then she took advantage of every
opportunity in her small town to perform. She remained active in choirs,
operettas, variety shows,
festivals, contests & pageants often winning first place.
Her late father, Paul, lobster fisherman by trade but could give Pavarotti
a run for his money with his power & tone which Jenny proudly says he
passed onto her, "she
hopes", and her mother, Sheila, had the softer harmonic voice. Her dad
played banjo and guitar with his no name
bluegrass buddies in their living room weekly and they often had family
"sing songs". Her roots are mainly
country, as her parents played a lot of Marty Robbins, Kenny & Dolly,
Johnny
Cash and a variety of bluegrass as
well as many classic Baptist hymns. Her three older sisters influenced
her with the sounds of Queen, Heart & ABBA. During her teens out on the
east coast in High
school she listened to a lot of Motley Crew & Poison. So she has very
eclectic influences.
While attending Algonquin College Nursing Program, she moonlighted at
Campus Music Functions, TV Telethons and
became a regular singer at Ottawa's finest piano bars. She recorded some
of her
own works at a small Ottawa studio
and used it as her first demo. During her years
prior to moving to Nashville she also made a living doing everything from
bartending, welding, grooming horses, childcare and secretarial work but
she was always led back to her love for the music business & singing.
She presently works Part time as a Senior Director & National Trainer for
BeautiControl Cosmetics and Mobile Spa
Service.
Everyone who meets Jenny finds her to be a delight and her confident,
charismatic presence, and down to earth
approach gives her an edge when
dealing with her
peers and associates. Jenny is an open-minded, strong hearted
professional who knows the pursuit of a singing career is God's will for
her life and takes joy in basking in the challenges & blessings that come
from it. She is a
positive bleep on many radar screens and will inevitably achieve whatever
she sets her heart on.
