Jina Wright was born Jonessa Johnson in Prentiss, Mississippi on August 3, 1983. The development of her unique style is the result of a lifetime of musical influence. Growing up in a talented musical family meant that Jina Wright was always surrounded by different forms of music. Her mother was an elementary & high school music teacher, taught private piano lessons, & was the minister of music for several churches in the area. Her parents exposed her to a wealth of music as a child, all of which influenced her development. Her first foray into learning an instrument herself came when she started to play the piano at just 3 years old. Later on she began to play trumpet, French horn, baritone and sousaphone, and drums. She utilized her talent by singing, & playing piano for local churches & trumpet at her own church. Jina began writing her own music at 8 years old and began putting her lyrics to music at age 10. She hasn’t stopped since. After realizing that making music was her main goal, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a producer/singer/songwriter. Jina is currently pursuing a degree in recording arts.
