Jenna Andrews

Andrews was discovered by Chris Smith, the manager of Nelly Furtado and Alessia Cara after hearing her song "Adore" on MySpace in 2005.[5][7][8] She decided to write the song for her parents after having no money to buy Christmas presents seven months after moving to Vancouver.[9] In 2008, Andrews was offered a production deal with Island Def Jam when Smith introduced her to American producer L.A. Reid.[5][7][10] She released her debut single "Tumblin' Down" in 2010, which was featured on the sixth season of American medical drama television series Grey's Anatomy.[11] On 22 October 2012, Andrews released an extended play titled Kiss and Run.[12] She also released another EP exclusively on Rap-Up titled SexTape on 9 May 2013, which contained covers of songs including Usher's "Climax" (2012), The-Dream's "Rockin' That Shit" (2008), and Jeremih's "Birthday Sex" (2009).[13]

After the release of SexTape, Andrews decided to focus on becoming a full-time songwriter, admitting that she was stuck in purgatory artistically and professionally.[14] She worked together with Canadian R&B duo Majid Jordan on their 2014 debut EP A Place Like This as her first project.[4] Andrews first encountered a 14 year old Lennon Stella on the set of 2012 television series Nashville, where she found her passion for developing young artists.[7] In early 2016, Andrews announced that she had signed as a songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing.[15] In February 2018, Andrews joined former Island Def Jam president Barry Weiss' record label Records as an exclusive A&R consultant,[16] signing Stella as an artist for the label and being persuaded by Weiss to add Noah Cyrus.[17] She continued to develop other artists such as Zhavia Ward and Lauren Jauregui,[11] while continuing to write and produce songs for Drake, Jennifer Lopez, Jessie J, Tori Kelly, Lily Allen and Dua Lipa.[18]

On 4 April 2019, Andrews and Weiss announced TwentySeven Music Publishing, which was a joint venture between the two. Two of the earliest members to join were Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, both members of Little Mix, as they signed a worldwide publishing deal with Sony/ATV.[19] Andrews offered them a deal to join after she found out that they never had a publishing deal during vocal production of "Motivate" from their fifth album LM5 (2018).[11] She also began working with New Zealand singer Stella Rose Bennett, known as Benee, writing "Supalonely" in 2019.[14] Andrews vocal produced the South Korean boy band BTS song "Dynamite", which was released on 21 August 2020.[20] She worked on the band members' vocal production in three weeks, which were remotely recorded from South Korea.[21] Andrews also vocal produced the BTS remix of the Jason Derulo and Jawsh 685 song "Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)" (2020).[22]
