Jenny James

Jenny James is a Canadian singer.[1] James home is Toronto, Ontario, and she is known for her support for controversial mayor Rob Ford.[2] At Ford Fest 2013 she premiered the pro-Ford song "Rob Ford: The World Will Remember". In the song James calls Ford: a "Cost Cowboy"; a "rollback viceroy"; a "money crusader" and an "excess cost eliminator"; "Toronto's defender"; an "economic mender".

James was born in the Phillippines, and had already begun performing publicly there at five years old, before her family immigrated to Canada.[3]

The site describes her as a "vocal chameleon" who "delivers electrifying performances reminiscent of music's greatest voices," going on to draw comparisons to Aretha Franklin and Beyonce, "with a little Michael Jackson, Steve Perry and Maroon 5′s Adam Levine thrown into the mix."
