[edit] Biography and music
Chapman was born in a caravan in Woking to a Romany family. She grew up in West Molesey, Surrey, alongside 13 brothers and sisters. By seventeen she had moved to work in London and got her first record deal at just 19 years old.
After a heavy advertising campaign on television and features in various UK music magazines, notably NME, her debut single "Bad Ass Strippa" reached number 22 in the UK singles chart. Jentina's label restyled her image and she then released her second single "French Kisses", written by Cathy Dennis & Greg Wells. This entered 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 [1] was then released, also in Italy.
Currently Jentina is keeping a low profile, and raising a newborn son, although she quoted in an interview on BBC 1-Xtra that she is returning to songwriting and getting back in to music.
