I tried the flute and violin but they never called out to my soul the way the electric guitar did and always has. My curiosity and desire to pursue electric guitar came from the fact that I never saw female or Women of color guitarists represent in music.  My life changed forever and the path to making music my lifelong passion was solidified when I first got my hands on a Black Fender Mexican Stratocaster, after weeks of asking my dad to buy one for me. My father tried bass guitar as a teen and tried to pick it up again during his time serving in the navy in 1973 where he realized  the visual arts was his passion and I believe his curiosity for music was passed down to me and has become my life's calling”.  Jennale Grew up in a home that was full of music, growing up with an indo- Caribbean mother and a African American father from the south, every inch of her life was surrounded by music.

I will always have the desire to get better and better at my gifts.” Around the age of fifteen she discovered Carlos Santana’s music and studied his sound rigorously. “ Around the age of fifteen I had hit a across roads, I was in this phase were I was second guessing myself and my passions, I saw Santana’s Video for into the night premier across the TV in my living room and the video opened with a white dove ( I felt like it was a message from god to me ) I was immediately enamored with Santana's orange signature PRS and the captivating riffs coming out of his Mesa Boogie Amp, That was the first time I had ever heard or seen Santana.
