A British pop singer, rapper, songwriter and model of Gypsy Decent.After a heavy advertising campaign on television and features in various UK music magazines, (notably NME), her debut single Bad Ass Strippa was released in the summer of 2004. Heavily sampling an O'Jays classic, the song topped the Box charts for a week, but this did not translate into sales and ultimately it reached number 22 in the UK singles chart. Considering the heavy promotion, this was disappointing for Jentina's label and they quickly restyled her image and sound. Enlisting serial hitmakers Cathy Dennis & Greg Wells to write the next single, French Kisses was notably a more pop-oriented record. The single was released in the autumn of 2004, entering the chart at number 20. Jentina released another single after this in Italy only, "Mysterious". With little promotion, it reached the Top 30 in Italy. Her debut album Jentina was then released, again, only in Italy.
