The Australian born singer/songwriter is equally comfortable with R&B, Soul, and Gospel.

Jeniqua has always known she had a God given talent for singing, as a young girl she decided to take it further. Her voice was once assessed by a local vocal coach with a professional Classical/Opera influence, and then a Speech Level Singing Associate, where she picked up the skills to be able to pass on her natural talent, along with knowledge of vocal posture, to others and began vocal coaching.

Fronting for cover bands, writing and arranging vocals while singing lead on two Gospel Albums she continued to evolve. She has traveled to New Zealand, Canada and the USA singing at major venues highlighted by her acclaimed performance at the Bethany Baptist Church in New Jersey. She has sung arias in Italian, German and English while placing third in an Eisteddfod performing a moving rendition of a Negro Spiritual.
