*QUOTE FROM BROADJAM CEO and FOUNDER ROY ELKINS, "This is one of those songs I tried to find something wrong with, however I couldn’t. I listened to it several times and finally realized why I like it so much. Every single lyric line in this song could be a hook in any other song and at the same time supports the hook of this one. That's why I chose this one as the Grand Prize winner."

"Jenna, WOW!!! Are you singing? Awesome! I got goosebumps from that. Let me catch my breath. Really - your range and power in the chorus and bridge are fantastic. OK - now on to the song... This is a powerful song that is very well built. The melody, harmony and structure, along with a compelling lyric all work. Great job - a pleasure to listen to (I listened twice, I confess). I look forward to hearing more. FORWARD."

It doesn©ˆt get better than this. New England Conservatory Graduate Jenna Drey is literally in the Big Leagues.
Her wicked peppy and positive and super catchy song, "Just Like That" became the theme song for the World Champion Boston Red Sox, beginning during the playoffs when the song was played to get the crowds pumped up.
A talented singer and songwriter, the Miami-based Drey definitely embraces the club scene. Her songs range from the techno-laced, potent style of "Let©ˆs Ride Your Motorcycle" to the Abba-esque "Say Goodbye to Loneliness" to the sultry and moody "Shadow of a Stranger."
Her enviable range and talented is in solid form and Drey exhibits extreme potential for further growth and popularity as a singer.

Bio
Jenna is currently working on releasing a new album in the Summer of 2012, and a new single, as a follow up to her previous two albums, which contained the Billboard charting dance hits such as "Killin' Me", & "Why Should I Believe You", and the 2007 Billboard #4 dance song hit "By The Way." In 2011, she released the single, "Can't Let Go" which received consistent airplay on reporting dance leaning stations such as C89.5 Seattle, Music Choice, WNRG 107.9 FL, and more. Her new single, "Summer Night In Seattle" is scheduled for release May 15, 2012, in association with the support that Seattle C89.5 has given Jenna for 6 straight years on all of her dance hits.
Jenna Drey released her 4th single, "All Out Of Love," in May 2008, with leading U.S dance/pop record label, Robbins Entertainment, as a follow up to her hit, "By The Way." With a great recent feature review from Chuck Taylor at Billboard Magazine, the single found it's way across a wide variety of stations in the U.S, including WKTU in NY and 104.3 in LA, as well as making its way to the R&R Top 40 indicator charts. The past three singles have all been consecutive Billboard Dance Chart topping originals, with "By The Way" reaching as high as #4 in the spring of 2007, maintaining a chart position for 16 consecutive weeks. Not only does the artist have pipes of steel and a three octave range, she has assembled a top production team that includes talent such as two-time Grammy-award winning producer Nile Rodgers (for Madonna, Eric Clapton, Alphabeat, and many more) and Kevin Churko, producer/writer for the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Shania Twain and many more.
Jenna also released the HDTV music video for "Why Should I Believe You," making it one of the first music videos filmed in high definition (HDTV).
Her original song, "A Thousand Times a Day," was a feature song in the motion picture, "A Big Gay Musical."
As a songwriter, Jenna has gained industry notoriety by winning five high profile songwriting contests: The Dallas Songwriters Association National Contest ; The USA Songwriting Competition for “Why Should I Believe You"; The International Songwriting Competition for “Killin’ Me”; and most notably, the VH-1 Save The Music, “Song of the Year Competition” where she won in two categories, Best Dance Song and Best Pop Song. Over the past several years, Jenna's music has appeared and been used on TV and film for shows such as "America's Top Model," the DVD pressings for "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Melrose Place" and even a feature song in the motion picture "Bachelor Party Vegas."
“ Just Like That,” Jenna's first single, produced by Nile Rodgers, was further honored in October 2004, when it was adopted as the battle song for the 2004 World Series Champions, The Boston Red Sox. The chorus of the song, revised to “Reverse The Curse, Just Like that”, played at all televised home games, reaching an audience of over 12.5 million baseball fans each week. Other sports teams, including the Pistons, Pacers, Raiders, and Wizards have since begun implementing the “Just Like That” sports mixes into their live game entertainment.
Jenna Drey currently resides in Miami, and is actively touring and recording in promotion with the current single and upcoming album
