Jeanette started her entertainment career at the tender age of three on national television with her older sisters "The Clinger Sisters". They toured as a family, head lining accross the US and Canada on the USO and State Fair ciruts along side some of the biggest stars of the time. She grew up in front of the camera as well as in the recording studio. She has stared in everything from T.V. commercials, singing commercials for radio and T.V., Musical plays, T.V. specials, T.V. sit comm.s , Info-Mercials, Music videos, Music tours and personal appearances to movie sound tracks.
Right out of high school Jeanette landed her first recording contract on CBS Records, with her original band "1994" in which they recorded and toured behind, across the west coast. She was a new little rocker on the scene which was unfortunately short lived as the group broke up.
Later, Jeanette was specifically selected by the Contemporary Jazz band "Hiroshima" after an extremely extensive world wide search for a new lead vocalist. She was chosen for her emotive and versatile vocal styling as well as her other attributes. She was signed to Sony/Epic records as the bands new lead singer and débuted on their next record "Providence". They tour expansively promoting the record around the world receiving wonderful reviews. They landed in the top ten in Billboard and R & R and coasted there for several months with their moving track"Cry of the Sea" featuring Jeanette's smooth and silky vocals along side June Kuramoto's beautiful Koto.
Jeanette went on to write, record and co-produce her own album with David Hollman (Olivia Newton John, Marvin Hamlish) and Mark T. Williams (Toto, Tina Turner, Air Supply) entitled "Catch a Dream" which had flavors of soulful M.O.R. mixed with Bluesy rock over tones, in which she embarked on a west coast promotional tour with her band.
Jeanette launched her second solo record entitled "Ride On the Light" in which she wrote, performed and co-produced along with Brian Simpson who had last years 1 song "It's All Good" on smooth jazz radio nationwide for 5 weeks as of February 6, 2006. Some of his other credits include the 1 song "The first Time" on the Pop charts with Surface, Everett Harp, Boney James, Norman Brown, George Duke, Stanley Clarke, Larry Carlton, George Howard, Billy Cobham, Gerald Albright, Janet Jackson and Sheena Easton. In this record Jeanette is able to show case her Smooth Jazz, R&B and Soulful styles where she is most at home. Together they have created some of the most smooth and contemporary jazz music combining the silky emotive vocal styling of Jeanette and the brilliant contemporary and traditional jazz improvisational piano of Brian Simpson. Alluring from beginning to end this record is varied in its smooth melodies and sensual grooves, leaving you with an easy sultry, laid back vibe. Jeanette's music has the ability to transcend all borders and boundaries bringing people from all walks of life, which has always been Jeanette's dream.
