Jenna Drey is an American female singer-songwriter who is a dance-pop and dance music artist. She was born in Los Angeles, California, and resides in Miami, Florida. She is a classically trained three-octave vocalist and pianist who studied at the New England Conservatory in Boston, Massachusetts, in theory and composition. Drey is the daughter of television and film actress Margaret Teele.
Drey's early career began as a songwriter. She won over eight multiple songwriting awards including the 2004 VH1 Songwriting Contest, the Gibson Guitar Dallas Songwriting Contest for “Stand in Line” and the grand prize in the 6th Great American Song Contest for her song “Impossibility”. This continued onto international competitions including the International Songwriting Competition for "Killin' Me", which eventually became her first radio dance hit. It was soon after that her first radio single “Just Like That” was produced by Nile Rodgers and was adopted as the battle song for the 2004 World Series Champions, the Boston Red Sox. The chorus of the song, revised to "Reverse the Curse, Just Like That", played at the televised home games, reaching an audience of over 12.5 million baseball fans each week. This continued with Song of the Year Contest for a win in two categories for best dance song and pop song.
After teaming up with co-writer and producer Kevin Churko, multiple Juno Award-winning producer-writer whose credits include Shania Twain, Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch and more, a number of her songs succeeded on the charts. In 2005, "Killin' Me (Where Did I Go Wrong)" rose to number 11 on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay and number 6 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The follow-up, "Why Should I Believe You", peaked in Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay at number 24 and the Hot Dance Music/Club Play Top 10 in 2006.
