Chapman was born in a caravan in Woking to a Romany family. She grew
up in West Molesey, Surrey, alongside 13 brothers and sisters. By
seventeen she had moved to work in London and got her first record
deal at just 19 years old.
After a heavy advertising campaign on television and features in
various UK music magazines, notably NME, her debut single "Bad Ass
Strippa" reached number 22 in the UK singles chart. Jentina's label
restyled her image and she then released her second single "French
Kisses", written by Cathy Dennis & Greg Wells. This entered the chart
at number 20. Jentina released another single after this in Italy
only, "Mysterious." With little promotion, it reached the Top 30 in
Italy. Her debut album Jentina was then released, also in Italy.
Currently Jentina is keeping a low profile, and raising a newborn son,
although she quoted in an interview on BBC 1-Xtra that she is
returning to songwriting and getting back in to music. Jentina's next
album 'Grace' is due out late 2007/early 2008.
