Jennell Eve had her solo debut at the age of 9. She grew up singing the church choir as a toddler, where she began to sing and mimic the choir director while waiting for her older brother at choir practice. She would sing so loud in the pews, they finally let her join, despite being under the age limit. From that point on, music has shaped who Jennell is today. Throughout her childhood, she was active in numerous musical theatre productions, with leading and supporting roles. Throughout high school, Jennell performed at countless county fairs all along the east coast of Florida. In 2009, Jennell was a contestant in season 9 of American Idol. She then received a full music scholarship at Indian River State College, where Jennell studied jazz vocal performance and musical therapy, and traveled with the Company Singers. After graduating from college, Jennell has been very active in the music scene. A full time musician, Jennell is living her passion and it shows.
