Jaynee is the performer, the band and the music all combined into one small, yet strikingly beautiful package.
Jaynee, real name Jane Mina Burns, is the product of a mixed heritage marriage between a Filipina and a Scotsman; such a rare combination was sure to produce a unique individual with eclectic tastes that permeates all the way through to her music.
Her parents, both from musical families full of guitarists, singers and percussionists, had the suspicion that their daughter would have performing aspirations as from the age of 4 she used to stand up on top of her toy box in the living room and sing and dance to Whitney Houston's Dance With Somebody before slowing it down with Greatest Love of All. At that moment they knew that they would have to harness these gifts and promptly enrolled her at Sylvia Youngs Theatre School where she would walk the same path as other London performers such as The Saturdays Vanessa White, Sugababes Jade Ewen and Leona Lewis.
At SYTS, she studied Dance, Drama and most importantly, Singing in order to develop the naturally emotive voice that she had been given. She won parts in various commercials, films and television programmes but The Saint and Harry Potter (and the Chamber of Secrets) were most memorable for the young performer.
As well as being involved in the performance side of the showbiz scene, she also made sure that music, as an academic subject, was taken seriously. She was actively involved in school choirs and orchestras, right through from Primary to Secondary school culminating in performances with the Gospel Choir at venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and the Fairfield Halls, Croydon. Jaynee also took the opportunities to perform solos within these choirs as often as possible, showcasing her skills as a budding vocalist.
She also took piano lessons while at school, and was keen to take music as a GCSE option. Receiving an A grade for music GCSE was one of my greatest achievements at school. (She also received 9 other GCSEs graded A-B)
