'A'About' - 

Penny Jayne Black is an award-winning singer-songwriter from the UK, known for her distinctive blend of Country and Americana music. Her passion for music was nurtured by her father, who played guitar and shared songs with her whenever he was home on leave from the Navy.

As a teenager, Penny traveled to California, where she fell in love with the stunning Pacific coastline—especially the majestic Redwood Forest. This transformative journey, filled with the sounds of American country music on the radio, inspired her to begin writing her own songs. Over the following years, she gained recognition in the UK’s country music scene, earning several awards and accolades.

Penny went on to release two singles with a Nashville record label, both of which charted on the U.S. Music Row charts, further solidifying her presence in the genre.

In 2023, Penny faced unimaginable loss when her only son, Jack, passed away. She took time away from performing to grieve and heal. During this deeply personal period, she continued to write songs and also turned to writing children’s books, inspired by cherished memories of Jack—an outlet that offered her comfort and a way to honor his memory. Now with renewed determination & a deep spiritual drive, Penny embarks on a new chapter - recording fresh music that blends her signature Country/America style roots with rich undertones of blues, jazz & Gospel.

Announcements & New music coming soon!
