Biography

Native Texan Jenna McDaniel grew up surrounded by the music of country legends like Reba, Martina, and Faith Hill. She fell in love with singing just about the time she could walk. Singing karaoke as a toddler and watching music videos around her house growing up in Temple, Texas, Jenna was constantly drawn to music, and it wasn’t long before she was singing anywhere she could find an audience to listen. 
 She spent her formative years working in Nashville, Tennessee with some of the top people in the industry. With the release of her albums ‘Little Miss Understanding’ (2014) and ‘Puzzle’ (2016) she showed the world that she is just as talented behind the mic as she is in the writing room. 
 In 2018, Jenna released ‘In The Sun’ which describes her journey of coming out as an openly gay woman. “It was such a scary step to take, but I am so glad I did it. The responses I got from young people across the country made it all worth it.” 
 Her new song, ‘Carry the Weight’, is probably her most personal one yet. When listening, you join Jenna on her journey through the aftermath of being sexually assaulted. “I wanted to share my story with the hope that I can help someone else with theirs. There are too many people that have gone through this and it not only affects your future relationships, it also affects your mental health and everyday life.” She is doing great work with the Nashville Sexual Assault Center and is committed to sharing resources for those who need it.
