The music industry hasn’t always been open or fair to women in executive roles, but Jenice Smith, the Goddaughter of rock and roll pioneer Little Richard, has consistently bucked the odds. She first struck out on her own in 1996 with her Jenice Artist Entertainment, a major booking agency in California, and more recently has created her own record label, Jenny Jenny Records.
Though the label is young, Jenny Jenny started with a bang, signing the legendary Four Tops and releasing an excellent contemporary single, "East Coast, West Coast," in late 2007. More recently the label is preparing a release by Miracles vocalist Mark Scott. JennyJenny is also focusing on other classic R&B artists who are looking to be rediscovered by soul-starved audiences. Sounds like a good plan to us.
