Just fresh off the stage from performing with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra alongside such luminaries as Whiromako Black, Stu Buchanan, Tom Rainey and Doug Caldwell, this jazz chanteuse seems to be going from strength to strength. Jennine performed to a sold-out audience in April with her Eva Cassidy Tribute show in the 2010 Christchurch International Jazz and Blues Festival.
She released her debut album ‘You go to my head’ in 2003, and in the same year was one of the three winners in an international jazz competition voted for by over 30,000 people world-wide. A versatile performer, Jennine gave a critically acclaimed performance in her first musical as Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar and has performed solos for Classical Sparks, Xmas in the Park and Starry Nights concerts. Jennine has performed many sold-out shows in Arts and Jazz festivals across the country. Her next recording project is underway and is expected to be available at the end of 2010. Jennine has just had another (darling!) baby girl and is planning to complete her BMus(Hons) at Canterbury University this year.
