Simply passionate for music, Jen Sanchez has been involved in the church choir since her young age. She also performed as a soloist in various church music events and honed her vocal talent throughout the years.

Performing onstage excites this artist since she's doing it with her choir group every week. She's also pursuing a part-time career as a wedding singer with other local singers for a few years.

She's expressing her passion for music even better by releasing her first original Tagalog single "Bakit" which she co-wrote with RSLPhoenix Music team, the Ilonggo song "Ikaw Lang," a duet with acoustic artist Daniel Zedane, an upcoming English song "LOL (Lots of Love)" composed by Australian songwriter Peter Smith and represented Bacolod City in the first region-wide tourism song of Region VI "Lagaw 'Ta (Experience Western Visayas)." "Falling in love sincerely and losing that person along the way," was the heartfelt message of the song her songs that would prove to be a relevant sentiment among local music listeners.
