A LITTLE ABOUT JENNETTE:

Jennette McCurdy is an energetic young artist with the drive, talent and creativity
it takes to turn dreams into reality. Already a successful actress with a legion of fans
who know her as the sassy Sam Puckett on the Nickelodeon TV series iCarly, McCurdy
is also a gifted singer/songwriter who has long wanted to launch a career in country
music. By the time she was eight, McCurdy was writing songs and recording them on
a tape recorder her mother had given her.

“I started writing with co-writers very seriously when I was 14 or 15,” McCurdy says.
“After working on the television show, I would go to co-writers’ houses in LA, and on
the weekends I’d write, so that was pretty much every day. It just got to a point where
I’d say I was writing songs on my blog and everybody was really curious. I really wanted
to share my music with people and let everybody hear what I’m about, so I put two
songs on iTunes.”

McCurdy’s music reflects her uniqueness as an artist. She’s both an old soul and
an effervescent teen. McCurdy says her approach to creating her music was simple:
“I really wanted to just be honest to myself, stay true to myself with every song and
deliver music that I felt reflected who I am as a person and tell the stories of my life
because I feel that that’s what people will relate to the most. Country music strikes
a chord in people’s hearts that makes you think ‘wow! I know exactly what they’re
talking about. I felt that before.’ I wanted people to be able to feel the same thing
and I felt that could only be accomplished if I really wrote what I knew.”
