About Jerin-Lei
Just thought i would give u the heads up on a new talent recently released in London. Young , '...gloriously beautiful...',and '...ragingly talented.' Jerin-lei's debut album is In the Dark and is an eclectic mix of genres making use of her remarkable voice. She is being billed as 'Aussie meets Jazz head on'. BIO... Jerin-lei, is wowing the international music world with her recently released debut album ‘In the Dark’. Jerin-lei Thorne-Goodison, known as simply Jerin-lei is described as ’...ragingly talented...An eclectic mix of R&B and contemporary Jazz.’ Jerin-lei is a beautiful young singer on her way to the top. Her debut album 'In the Dark' (produced by London based RPW) . She is gaining interest in the US - Gogirl.net and Listeningloft.com voted her number one album of the week. 'Smoothjazz' picked her album as Hot Pick of the week. London's Peter Clayton says ' ...the next aussie star, Olivia Newton John with fire. ' USA's SmoothJazz’, Stewart Coxhead verdict ...When God was giving out special talents in Australia he must have stopped at least twice in front of Jerin-Lei! Not only is she exquisitely beautiful but she also has the voice of an angel… mature, smoky vocals with just a nod towards Eartha Kitt. IN THE DARK is a thrilling mixture of original tunes and covers... brilliant debut for this Australian newcomer who I’m sure is going to be around for many years to come. Jerin-lei was born in Wollongong. A beautiful beach city on the east coast of Australia. At 6 her family relocated to the remote mining town of Nhulunbuy. A tropical paradise with crocs and stingers that add excitement to the daily adventures. Jerin was discovered in London on a break from her University degree in Performing Arts. 2 years of hard work has produced this truly remarkable album, thanks to her Producer Peter Clayton and his crew of hugely renowned music men of the industry. A scary situation, a little mining town girl from Australia, working with London’s legend Derek Nash and Pete Adams but as Jerin-lei says meeting and chatting with Mandawuy Yunupingu from Yothu Yindi prepared her for big stars being nice blokes. Jerin-lei left Nhulunbuy in 1997, after spending 6 years of her life in Nhulunbuy. She developed her great love of performing in Gove, participating in all the town’s many extra-curricular activities of jazz ballet, tap and drama. Australia's legendary Hey Hey its Saturday's Red Faces visited Nhulunbuy where Jerin was third place winner at the age of 8 with her sparkling rendition of the Doris Day classic, Perhaps Perhaps, Perhaps.
