Full Bio -
Award-winning singer-songwriter Penny Jayne Black from the UK, first made her mark as a 'Music Row' charting artist in 2018/19, earning recognition for her powerful storytelling & Americana roots. Now evolving as a multi-genre artist, she blends country soul, folk honesty, Latin flair & bluesy-jazz grooves into songs that move hearts across borders. With a voice both timeless & unmistakably her own, she continues to craft music that is as fearless as it is unforgettable.
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 travelled 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.
She went on to release two singles with a Nashville record label, both of which charted on the U.S. 'Music Row' country breakout charts.
After unimaginable loss in 2023, Penny stepped away to grieve, heal & write- honouring her beloved son Jack through music & children's stories inspired by cherished memories of him.
Now with renewed determination & a deep spiritual drive, Penny steps boldly back into her musical journey, sharing her most honest & powerful work yet.
In late 2025, she released the single ''Summertime'', followed in February 2026 by her soulful cover of ''Black Coffee'', which reached No.2 in the UK iTunes Blues Chart & is currently playing in 'Caffe Nero' stores across the UK. With an accompanying music video on the way & new recordings in the works, Penny's return marks the start of a powerful new chapter!
