Interview with Jenna Andrews
We had the pleasure of interviewing Jenna Andrews over Zoom video.
As a performer who was signed to a major label (Island Def Jam) and a music publisher (Sony/ATV) herself, Jenna Andrews is driven by an innate passion for music and a belief in its power to unite and inspire. The Calgary native has worn many hats in the music industry, from vocal producer to A&R/creative consultant, from songwriter and arranger to executive producer, taking both young and seasoned performers under her wing as friend, confidant, advisor and often even therapist. Jenna is familiar with the trials and tribulations faced by recording artists in achieving their vision.
A true triple-threat, Andrews offers the collaborative skills of a songwriting mentor/partner and the acumen of an A&R/artist development executive. As a consultant for Sony Music\u2019s RECORDS label (where she is currently working with Swedish pop star Tove Styrke) and a partner in their joint venture publishing company TwentySeven Music at Sony/ATV, Jenna is in more demand than ever after serving as the vocal producer on BTS\u2019 Grammy-nominated global smash, \u201cDynamite,\u201d and doing similar honors, along with co-writing, for the South Korean superstars\u2019 current chart-topping smash \u201cButter\u201d as well as collaborating with Ed Sheeran on writing their latest smash, \u201cPermission to Dance.\u201d
Among her impressive credits include collaborations with Drake, Jennifer Lopez, Tori Kelly, Jessie J, Noah Cyrus (\u201cJuly\u201d), Benee (the TikTok smash \u201csupalonely,\u201d being used in over 10 million user-created videos, and streaming over 500 million times to date) and Galantis, David Guetta & Little Mix (\u201cHeartbreak Anthem\u201d), as well as producers Noah \u201c40\u201d Shebib, Diplo, DJ Mustard, Max Martin, Illangelo and Stargate.
Jenna\u2019s fingerprints are all over \u201cButter,\u201d with a pair of her TwentySeven Music signings, songwriter/producer Rob Grimaldi and co-writer Alex Bilowitz, both contributing to the BTS song along with Stephen Kirk, all of whom receive writing credit on the song along with Columbia Records Chairman Ron Perry and BTS\u2019 RM, who penned the closing rap.
The result was the band\u2019s fourth chart-topping Billboard Hot 100 single, and a major achievement for Andrews and her team, one that has her looking to the future to make her mark in not just the music business, but other ancillary, related projects.
