Jentina Rose Rees (née Chapman) (born 6 March 1984, in Woking, England) professionally known as Jentina, is a British hip hop/R&B singer, rapper, songwriter and model of Romani descent.
Jentina was born to a Romani family that consisted of fourteen children. When she was one year old, her family moved to West Molesey, Surrey. She got her first recording contract at the age of nineteen whilst working in a computer shop.
After an advertising campaign on television and features in various UK music magazines, (notably NME), her debut single "Bad Ass Strippa" was released in the summer of 2004. The song was later parodied by the grime MC Lady Sovereign. Sampling an O'Jays song, it topped the Box chart for a week, but ultimately it reached number 22 in the UK Singles Chart. Jentina's second single, "French Kisses" was written by Cathy Dennis and Greg Wells and was a more electro-hop/R&B-oriented record. The single was released in the autumn of 2004, entering the UK chart at number 20. Jentina released another single after this in Italy only, "Mysterious". It reached the Top 30 in Italy. Her debut album Jentina was then released, again only in Italy.
