Jaclyn Kenyon

Jaclyn Kenyon is a singer/songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Kenyon became a performer by the age of 12. At that age, she performed at the Honey Jam showcase in Toronto, Ontario.[1] Jaclyn was the youngest performer ever at the Honey Jam and quickly received media attention.[2] This showcase also launched the careers of Nelly Furtado and Jully Black.[3]

In January 2015 Jaclyn signed her first major production deal with producers Mike Plotnikoff and Igor Khoroshev. Her first album is being recorded in Hollywood CA. Her recordings feature guitarist Phil X from Bon Jovi and drummer Gil Sharone from Marilyn Manson.

Following her LA recordings success, in the Spring of 2017 Jaclyn was offered opportunities to write and record in Nashville with major multi platinum producer Mike Krompass (Nelly Furtado, Smashmouth, David Archuleta) as well as top billboard writers Steve Diamond (Faith Hill, Reba McEntire) Clay Mills (Darius Rucker) and Robbie Nevil (Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, High School Musical). Jaclyn felt back at home being in Nashville and after working back and forth there for 7 years felt she finally found her direction as a country hybrid artist, creating a new sound of country- rock and pop infused music. Jaclyn continues to work in Nashville with this production and writing team.

In January 2018 Jaclyn signed a major management deal with Linkin Park's long time manager, Rob McDermott of MadMac entertainment who was instrumental in achieving over 50 million in sales for the band.


Kenyon was named by Toronto Star music critic Ben Rayner as one of twelve "people to watch" in the Toronto area in 2012. Plumbline Music Group.[4]
