Jenna Rose Swerdlow (born September 28, 1998), best known as Jenna Rose, is an American teenage singer who gained media attention, as a pre-teen, with her single "My Jeans". After the video went viral on YouTube and received 14 million views, Swerdlow is considered a semi-"viral star".
Swerdlow was born September 28, 1998, in Long Island, New York. She was raised in Baldwin, New York and relocated with her family to Dix Hills, New York in 2005. She began performing at age 2, and received private vocal training at age 8. Starting with community theater and moving on to regional productions and Off-Broadway, she has performed in over 18 plays, including principal roles in “Ragtime” and “The Miracle Worker”, as well as the title role in the 2011 Off-Broadway play, “The Odella Williams Show”. She was a finalist in Got Talent?, a Long Island talent competition, as well as the New York Knicks Kids Talent Search. It was reported by Fox WNYW that by March 2011, her videos had had over 1 million "hits", she had recorded six songs, and she had performed at a Knicks game halftime show.
In August 2009, it was reported that Swerdlow and nineteen other musicians were selected for individual coaching and recording sessions by long-time Billy Joel sax player Richie Cannata, and Jenna wrote on her Facebook page that Richie's son Eren Cannata wrote and produced three singles for her, Sweet Melody, The Remedy, and Spotlight. Since then, Swerdlow has collaborated with different songwriters, producers and choreographers, to record songs and music videos.
At age twelve, while she was in 7th grade at West Hollow Middle School, Swerdlow released her first music video, My Jeans, featuring a rap by Baby Triggy aka I Am Trigg, on YouTube in October 2010; locations included the Deer Park Tanger Outlet. The video went viral, garnering over a million views and bring Swerdlow media attention.My Jeans was panned by YouTube viewers, earning her, as of September 8, 2011, 26,355 "likes" and 295,189 "dislikes" for the video. Detractors found fault not only with Swerdlow's song, but with her clothes, the shape of her mouth, and the video's production values. The video continues to be popular, with the original video reaching over 14 million views as of early September 2011, even though it has "spawned parodies, video responses, rap replies and more than a dozen pages of written critiques."
