Artist To Watch: Jenny Lampz

Garland, Texas based artist, Jenny Lampz, is a Filipino American rapper. Her music is reflective of her real life experiences and strong Christian beliefs, which are made apparent in many of her works.

Because of her background in public education, her songs are described as positive, family friendly, and constructive. Jenny has used hip hop to provide music that teaches with the intention of causing listeners to be reflective of their own lives.

As a second generation immigrant, Jenny became intrigued by the art of rap in her young years but did not begin writing until much later in life. Growing up, her influences included mainstream artists, such as Eminem, J. Cole, and Drake, but in realizing the power of words, she began to gravitate towards artists who spoke life, such as Aaron Cole, Andy Mineo, and Lecrae.

As an artist, Jenny chooses to use her abilities in writing and rhythm to provide her audience with music that not only “hits hard,” but also allows listeners to shift their mindsets to grow and build.
