Jennarie is a Toronto-based independent artist who blends pop, R&B and jazz into a sound that’s entirely her own—soulful, bold, and rooted in emotional truth. Proudly queer, plus-size, and neurodivergent, she creates music that uplifts underrepresented communities and celebrates self-love and body liberation.
In 2024, her unreleased song Never Been Small went viral after she responded to online body-shaming with music, quickly catching the attention of SZA and Megan Trainor and amassing millions of views. The empowering track has since garnered over 2 million streams on Spotify and was recently featured in comedian Rosebud Baker’s 2025 Netflix comedy special, The Motherlode.
Jennarie has performed at major events including the TD Toronto Jazz Festival and Pride Toronto, and was recently selected for the RBC x MusiCounts First Up program. She’s received support from FACTOR, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Chalmers Foundation.
